Square toilet brush?

[fizzy]

Mrs RWD recently had our ensuite redone and went for 'contempory' sink , toilet and shower. Now, the shower is a big improvement but the sink and toilet not so much. Why? well, because they are square. Have you ever tried brushing a square toilet with a round brush?

I've Googled the subject to death now and I can't find a square bog brush anywhere. Do they even exist? Has anyone else come across this problem and found a solution?

Oh, and the sink is rubbish cos it's way too shallow and not particularly ergonomic. Water goes everywhere when it's used for washing. Pretty though

I have an old one in one of our warehouse bogs - you are welcome to it

My sister has one of those and it is much better than a bristle brush.

What is wrong with a handful of toilet tissue?

The head twists off to give a powerful 3mm jet and quite effective.

I dont like using a brush.

If you have a wet room type bathroom put in one of the squirter mini shower heads like they use in the far east.
Uses a lot less paper to clean yourself, more hygenic and you will feel cleaner. Us you can use it to clean the toilet and bathroom floor.

We put a new bathroom in 2 years ago and the plumber said we had picked a toilet with a good flush.

Doesn't say much about the rest because this one is rubbish.

For a start the cistern is too small, not enough water to flush the toilet so 2 flushes are often needed. Our sewer is now blocking regularly because there's not enough flow to get the waste all the way to the septic tank.

Most of the flush is directed to the front and sides of the bowl so doesn’t wash off the skid marks on the back. You need to use the brush most times.

The basin is quite good but the mixer tap is much too short to get your hands under it. I added an extension to it and originally there were complaints because it didn't look 'nice' but they are happier now since the basin stays cleaner and much easier to use.

You need the toilet paper landing pad..

Try sitting in an upright position, like standing to attention but sitting down and not slouching forwards

The back of the bowl slopes forward so it's very hard to avoid leaving a trail.
I miss our old bog standard Armitage Shanks that was in for 50 years with none of these issues.

Same with us, these modern eco flush toilets are bloomin useless..

Remember the old toilets with the cistern mounted high on the wall?
Huge capacity plus gravity adding speed meant there as not much they would not flush away.

Yes, they had no problem cleaning the bowl, unlike this modern tat!.

Clean to the eye is how us humans judge everything's sanitary state.

I read somewhere, That the cistern has a maximum limit that it can be because of eco concerns

From Twyfords archives

VICTORIA'S WC The Victorian toilet was designed to flush with 13 litres (3 Imperial Gallons) of water. It was tested to ensure it worked correctly by using 6 apples and a cloth cap. If it flushed those away it was described as a success – it would flush anything away.

These days they test with cat food.

Length of bogroll, folded in half. End dipped, and a deft flick to attach the wet end to just below the back rim. Backsplash and landing pad in one. Jobbie jobbed!
