IES85631Y1 - Disposable toilet brush/head - Google Patents

Description

Disposable toilet brush/head A toilet brush handle and base with a disposable head. It is hygienic as the head can be removed without physically touching the head as all you have to do is to hold it over the bin and press the release button and then it is ready for a new head and this may be clicked into place by pressing the handle into the attachment on the new head. There are two options firstly the more traditional brush with holes that spray detergent which gives a sanitary clean and secondly the sponge like head with extra hard wearing foam which saves time and trouble scrubbing the toilet and this head also has a brush like feature on one side to allow you to clean under the curve of the toilet bowl with a spray function also. Each head may be used for as long as the consumer feels necessary and when the old head has become unsanitary looking a new head can be put on therefore the whole product is reusable.

This allows for a more attractive feature in-your bathroom once the head can be replaced. Therefore allowing for extremely attractive base holders and handles that are constantly reusable and they may be matched with other bathroom accessories e.g. toilet roll holders, etcetera.
