Mrs Hinch fan shares the 60p secret to getting grim loo brushes sparkling again

There's no denying that loo brushes get absolutely disgusting, very quickly. But rather than being tempted to throw them away and start again, which is costly and not environmentally friendly, Mrs Hinch fans have suggested a cheap and easy way to get them looking as good as new and they've referred to it as the "holy grail."

So if your loo brush is looking and smelling less than fresh, but you keep using it to clean your toilet, you may want to consider giving the tool a clean.

Luckily, it's much easier than you think, and will only set you back 60p - but you've probably already got the product in your cupboard.

A cleaning guru took to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page to ask people how they clean their toilet brushes.

She wrote: "How do people clean their toilet brushes? I'm really thinking of times that people have a rather 'messy dump' and use the brush to quickly get rid of any mess following the flush."

Fellow Mrs Hinch fans shared their hints and tips, and the most popular solution was using bleach.

One fan wrote: "When the brush has been in use, I leave it in the toilet with bleach in the water for a couple of hours. Then flush the toilet holding brush in water. Perfectly clean."

Another said: "Use the brush after you flushed then flush again with the brush in the flow, when bleaching the loo, put the brush in the water so that gets bleached as well."

Similarly, someone else commented: "I put it mine in the bowl of the loo with bleach and then leave. Flush later and it's clean. I do this daily."

A bottle of bleach costs as little as 60p in major supermarkets like Tesco, making this a cheap and easy win.
