It’s a toilet brush – but not as we know it

Robert Scott and Sons has revisited the toilet brush and developed a version claimed to be more effective, more hygienic and easier to clean.

The LooBlade replplaces the traditional bristles with an eight-bladed cleaning head. This is said to clean the toilet rim more effectively.

"The problem with traditional toilet brushes is that they get clogged up," said group sales manager Gill Ireson. "They also breed bacteria, and this then sits in the brush-holder for days.

"The LooBlade is made from antibacterial rubber that kills 99.9 per cent of germs on contact. It can be washed like a squeegee and is practically dry again by the time it goes back into the holder."

The LooBlade's holder is ventilated to ensure than any remaining moisture evaporates swiftly. The product can also be used as a plunger if required.

Robert Scott and Sons makes a range of toilet brushes but felt there was a gap in the market for a more hygienic version, according to Ireson. The LooBlade has already attracted interest from the healthcare sector and from high-end hotels.

"We believe the LooBlade to be the first of its kind - but it is such a good idea that we're quite surprised that something like this wasn't developed years ago," she said.
