The Popular Toilet Cleaning System Everyone Is Switching To & Why

Cleaning the toilet is certainly one of the most dreaded chores in a lot of households. No one is exactly itching to get assigned the bathroom chore for the week, even though keeping a toilet spotless is imperative for a clean home. There are plenty of toilet cleaning hacks that will make your bathroom sparkle, but many of them require a great deal of elbow grease. Clorox's disposable ToiletWand system is changing the way people clean toilets for the better — and might be your new favorite cleaning product. 

Instead of using the same wire toilet brush over and over again — and undoubtedly spreading bacteria with each use —  Clorox wands have small, attachable brush heads that you can toss after using. The heads come loaded with Clorox cleaner, including Glycolic Acid, that's apparently guaranteed to kill 99.9% of germs. Each scrubbing brush is shaped like a hexagon, giving you plenty of corners for tight spaces in your toilet, and the brushes pop off into the trash when you're finished cleaning. They retail for $18.75 on Amazon for a starter kit with 16 disposable cleaning heads, which is a great deal if you consider the fact that you do not need to buy cleaning products separately. You can then buy refill packs that end up being about 60 cents per scrubbing brush. Ultimately, the ToiletWand offers an easy way to make you hate toilet cleaning a little less. 

The Clorox ToiletWand system has picked up a lot of traction online, and for good reason. Reviewers are boasting about the way the wands revolutionize their sanitation habits and make toilet-cleaning feel so much, well, cleaner. "It just feels so much more sanitary to not have a dirty toilet brush sitting around, no lingering germs," YouTube reviewer FreshTake said. "This is the perfect product to start fresh." The product has 4.7 stars over 60,000 ratings on Amazon, which also bodes incredibly well for its usefulness. One customer wrote, "I just started using these this month. I cannot believe how I lived without them. So easy to use and you know when you are finished you throw them away ... Don't hesitate. And I learned you can use them to clean your woodwork around the bathroom. Works miracles." 

One of the biggest things to watch out for, according to reviewers, is the attachment of the sponge heads. "The only downside is it can be difficult to clean under the rim of the bowl," one Amazon customer reported. "When you apply too much upwards pressure the head can snap off. You can't ever see the underside of the toilet rim, but if getting it spotless is your big concern, you'll go through a lot of brush heads." So, be sure to keep the pressure in mind when going for some of the harder spots to clean in your bathroom.
