On Mikvah days, after I cook & mix the soup, I then brush my back with it & then whack my kids into bed so I can have some quiet.
Can you beat me? (No pun intended, NOT with your ecoli yuck brush please. Tnx)

She told me that when her cleaning lady doesn't come she cleans her bathtub with a toilet brush that she used for the toilet.
I thought that was so odd and unsanitary but she said she has very expensive toilets and they are super clean.
Do you use your toilet brush to clean anything other than the toilet bowl?

Her toilets may be expensive, but her waste products are just as stinky as everyone else’s. Surprised

Except for mine of course so I prefer to use my toilet brush on our plates. Especially when we have guests.

Maybe she used up all her money on the fancy toilet and can't buy something to use for her bathtub.
On a serious note, I use the disposable ones in my house: https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-.....?th=1

Sometimes my 2 year old uses the toilet brush as a toothbrush Tongue Out

Edit: Awh Einikel beat me to it!
Although he really does do this sometimes. We had to start putting it up high out of reach embarrassed

It would never occur to me to use my toilet brush to clean anything other than the toilet, but then I have no imagination that way. , tbh I don’t see that it’s so bad to use it on the tub unless you eat in there or use your tub to make bootleg liquor (in which case the alcohol would kill the germs, anyway.) Presumably the brush is being used with some sort of cleanser and both brush and tub rinsed after use, both of which will send germs sliding down the drain. The cooties are not going to jump into your mouth from the brush or the surface of the tub. BTW the bathroom air is full of cooties just from flushing, anyway.

There is no need for a tub to be surgically clean, and if a couple of germs hang around on its surface, it’s still a whole lot more sanitary than other surfaces, like, uh, the outside and inside of your washing cup, the area around your toilet paper dispenser, the toilet handle, and the sink faucets, to say nothing of the floor. Unless you never, ever, stand barefoot on your bathroom floor, you’re freaking out for nothing.

No joke. My 2 year old came out of the bathroom brushing his hair with the toilet brush saying 'bwush haiw'. That was probably the loudest I ever screamed and the quickest I ever put him in the bath... Puke

I was very obviously speaking about my summer home toilets! I was sure it was self understood!

Our regular toilets can make brisket with an amuse bouche. Brush used for basting every half hour btw..

I am treating the original post as serious although I am genuinely enjoying the jokes.

Assuming the original post is serious, I don't understand the logic of the friend who is using the toilet brush for her tub because a toilet brush has a design that is intended to work for toilets and doesn't even seem designed particularly well for bath tubs.

Also this woman has an "expensive" toilet and yet she is too cheap to stock her bathroom with an addition $10 or $15 tool for the tub?

And what does the cleaning woman use because the original post states she uses it when the cleaning woman isn't around.

And of course the interesting use of an "expensive toilet" which appears to be relative. I just installed what I considered to be an expensive Toto toilet which has a special finish which resists any kind of dirt attaching to it. (It also has a pre-rinse cycle so that the sides are lubricated). The instructions state that one is NOT supposed to use any kind of harsh brush on it so I have a very soft brush made of silicone and not a typical scrub brush. So what kind of expensive toilet does this woman have with a finish that can be "scrubbed". Inquiring minds want to know. Hiding

Thank you so much for the laughter relief.

As much as I would love to host you, (truly, I would, not being facetious) my spare rooms are for the help..I need at least 4 teams to tackle what I deal with in the summer. (Cooking for Rosh Hashanah, and Sukkos and Chanukah, with a nod toward Purim, if the weather is right.)

So my toilets and their own brushes are BUSY all summer! (Especially when we eat sushi at the pool but thats a whole different parsha. Does anyone elses sushi go bad when its left outside for only 4 hours? I think my sushi guy is using old fish. )

Rich people problems...sorry for bothering u guys...we one percenters really have it hard in the summer. My husband may open a charity for us called 'Matir Ashirim.'

Open your hearts (and wallets) plz

Humblebragging is alive and well.
