13 Best Toilet Brushes (Review) In 2021

Our top choice for the best toilet brush is the mDesign Compact Freestanding Plastic Toilet Bowl Brush. Available in thirteen different colors, we reviewed the bronze model that provides you with a stylish, subtle finish.

This brush is made from shatter-proof plastic and has durable black bristles to perform daily cleaning duties. The compact design means that the width of the brush and base is just 4.25inches while the length is 16 inches. On the handle, there is a round disc shield keeping your hand protected from splashes and further hides the brush from view when in the holder. The mDesign head has a screw-on design, so when it is time to replace it, you can just change the bristle head.

The BOOMJOY Silicone Toilet Brush comprises a silicone brush head and a stainless steel handle that measures 16 inches long. The handle is screwed together and the brush head can also be screwed on and off for easy replacement.

As the bristles are made from silicone, they are effective at cleaning and do not hold on to any debris or bacteria. As a result, it is easy to clean the brush head. Included in this kit is a small pair of tweezers, hidden in the top. These can be used to remove any debris from the brush. The base of the Boomjoy is a circular shape, designed not to spill, and is also only available in white/grey.

The OXO Good Grips Hideaway Compact Toilet Brush with caddy is available in four different colors. The canister opens when you pull the brush upwards and has a built-in drip tray to catch any excess water, which should help the brush dry more quickly. The canister is described as compact, measuring 5inches across, but this is larger than other compact brands.
The handle is 17inches long and has a comfortable grip towards the top. It can be detached from the brush head using the simple screw mechanism. The OXO brush head is tapered, making it easier to clean the toilet rim.

The MEXERRIS Silicone Bristle Toilet Brush Set provides you with a brush that won’t scratch and won’t shed. As with other silicone bristle designs, it is easy to clean, doesn’t hold on to debris, and dries quickly.

The black base measures nearly 6inches wide and has a hollowed-out concept with ventilation slots and a drip tray to catch excess water and allow it to evaporate. It also has rubber padding on the bottom to prevent it from slipping, scratching, or spilling. The MEXERRIS handle is made from stainless steel with a black non-slip grip and is assembled by screwing it together. Tweezers are hidden in the top, and the length is almost 17inches. While the brush head can be screwed on, it is not replaceable, so you will need to purchase a whole new set.

The ToiletTree Products Deluxe Toilet Brush is one of the shorter models, measuring just 11inches long, so you will find your hand getting close to the toilet bowl. The bristles are made from stiff plastic for effective scrubbing and are a black color which gives it a more elegant look.

The main selling point of this product is the heavy-weight holder. It is made from stainless steel and keeps the brush completely covered when not in use. As you lift the handle up, the lid will open, and when you return the brush to the holder, it will automatically close. This durable base helps to prevent the spread of germs and looks much more sophisticated than a plastic option. The small slot in the top of the lid allows airflow to dry your brush. The brush head of the ToiletTree product is removable and replaceable, and as the rest of the unit is made from stainless steel, if you just change the head regularly, this set should last for a long time.

The Marbrasse Slim Compact Toilet Bowl Brush and caddy comes in a pack of two, so you have a replacement ready when needed. The brush head is not removable so you will need to change the whole unit. The unique design of this brush gives you a curved handle that makes toilet cleaning easier around any bends. The head has a combination of hard and soft bristles for more effective scrubbing.

The handle is made from non-toxic ABS and has a rubber coating with ergonomic grooves and measures a reasonable 15inches long. The is also a hook at the end so you can hang it up, should you so wish. When placed in the caddy, the brush head is suspended slightly from the base to allow it to dry quicker and not sit in a pool of water. The Marbrasse is effective but is not made with high-quality materials so may need to be replaced in less than six months.

Our best value choice for a toilet brush set is the MEKEET Silicone Toilet Brush and Holder Set. The silicone brush makes it easier to clean the toilet, and it won’t cause any scratches, plus it is a relatively compact design so can discreetly tuck away in your bathroom. The base measures only 3.5inches across.

The caddy for this unit has a hollow suspension design to ensure water doesn’t accumulate and stagnate, while the ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold and is not in any danger of rusting. The length of this product is 15.5inches. The downside of this unit is that you cannot replace the brushes.

Mr Clean Combo Caddy Set is a nice option if you want a plunger and toilet brush that can be stored together to save space. This is a fairly basic design, with both items made from plastic and the brush head from soft nylon bristles with an ergonomic rubber grip. The caddy covers the brush, while the plunger sits next to it for easy access and the base has silicone trimming to prevent any slippages.

Both the plunger and the toilet brush perform adequately, but the look is not all that attractive. The white and blue design is not particularly subtle and doesn’t look like a high-quality plunger set.

Another plunger and brush combination, the MR. SIGA Black Toilet Combo Set is available in black or white to suit your bathroom. The plunger on this is made with commercial-grade rubber so it highly effective and the bristles on the brush are made from tough nylon for deep cleaning and hard-to-reach areas.

The holder is designed with a wide base to stop it from tipping over, and both products fit securely. The tray also captures water but provides some ventilation to help with drying. Although the description mentions an 18inch length, this applies to the plunger; the brush is only 13.7inches long. The bristle head is not replaceable so you will need to buy a new compatible brush.

With the Rubbermaid Comfort Grip you get a long 16.5inch handle that has a non-slip rubber cover, so your hands are safe and comfortable while cleaning the toilet.

The full bristle brush is made from durable plastic that scrubs effectively without scratching your bowl, but the holder is not as good quality. It stays upright and holds the item well, but it doesn’t have any ventilation for quick drying. It is also open, so not the best choice from a hygiene perspective.

The Clorox Under-Rim Toilet Bowl Brush gives you a regular brush head plus a smaller under rim scrubber that comes out of the main head at an angle. This is designed specifically to clean the curves of the rim, and as the brush is 16inches long with a rubber grip at the end, you won’t risk getting your hands wet when doing so.

The bristles on this product are antimicrobial treated, which protects them from the build-up of mould and offers odor control. After six months, the whole brush needs to be replaced as the head is not removable. The caddy on the Clorox product is a matching white color with a space-saving corner design and a non-slip base. It does not fully cover the rim scrubber but covers the main head.

With the Holikme Toilet Brush and Holder Set you get a bendable silicone brush, allowing you to tackle hard to reach areas more easily when toilet cleaning. This product comes in three colors; white, grey, or chocolate brown, and the base can be wall-mounted if you are very tight on floor space. It measures a total length of 14.7inches, which is adequate, although not the longest option.

The brush holder itself has a suspended design to the brush doesn’t sit directly on the base, meaning it will dry quicker. As the Holikme is made from silicone, it is naturally quick to clean the bristles and won’t scratch your toilet enamel. The head is a little slimmer than many other models, so it might take a lot of time for you to clean your toilet. Overall a small yet effective, good quality toilet brush that is good value for money.

Our premium pick for the best toilet brush is the AmazonBasics Toilet Bowl Brush with Holder. This has a simple, modern design, available in glossy black or white and it can be hidden away discreetly.

The brush itself is made from durable melamine, and while the length is short, at only 13inch, the hand shield compensates for this. The shield also doubles up to keep the brush well and truly hidden sight in the holder. The holder does not have any ventilation, but it is sturdy and simple to clean. The AmazonBasics is a good toilet brush with stiff bristles to clean effectively.
