Types of toilet brush holders

Freestanding

Freestanding holders are the most popular option in New Zealand as an easy, convenient and affordable solution. The biggest change to them in recent times has been with respect to design with some ingenious and sometimes quite artistic products available. 

Wall mounted 

Wall mounted toilet brush holders are permanently fixed to a wall, behind or alongside the toilet itself. The fixture can be screwed into the wall or fixed in place with strong adhesives. They are commonly used in commercial settings and don’t have the risk of being accidentally knocked over.

Tank-mounted

Modern units can be hooked into the toilet tank and can also be hidden behind the cistern to hide the toilet brush from view. The brush can be levered out to the side and back behind the cistern. 

Very minimal space is required behind the toilet, but an exposed cistern is necessary.

Concealed

If space is a precious resource, consider a wall niche. The wall niche next to the toilet can house the toilet brush discreetly. The niche can be accessed via a push mechanism or have a button installed. 

Recessed

Another option is a recessed toilet brush holder. This is a unit that can be fitted into a rectangular recess made into the drywall. The unit comes pre-built and is specifically made for a toilet brush.

Holders (and brushes) are available in various materials, each with their own traits and characteristics. 

PVC and plastic

How to choose a toilet brush for your bathroom

When choosing a toilet brush holder in New Zealand, consider both functionality and aesthetics to ensure it meets your bathroom's needs and style. Firstly, assess the material; options like stainless steel or ceramic are durable and easy to clean, and can complement various decor styles. Look for a holder with a sturdy base to prevent tipping and a design that conceals the brush, maintaining visual appeal and hygiene. The size of the holder is also important; it should fit neatly beside the toilet without obstructing any space. Opt for models with ventilation to allow the brush to dry properly, reducing the chance of mold or bacteria growth. Additionally, consider the design of the brush itself; a brush with a tapered head or silicone bristles can provide more effective cleaning. Lastly, think about ease of cleaning the holder and brush, as this will ensure long-term usability and hygiene.
