How to identify it

A toilet brush has a long handle and dense head shaped for the bowl; small dish and bottle brushes have a different form. A toilet brush usually has a long handle and dense bristles shaped for a toilet bowl; a general cleaning brush is shorter and uses non-metal bristles for other surfaces.

Before use, check the toilet-brush product instructions. If a cleaner is also used, rely separately on the cleaner's complete original label.

Storage

After use, follow the brush or holder product instructions for cleaning and storage.

Helper tip

Do not infer cleaner compatibility from the brush; cleaner use and warnings come from the cleaner's original label.
