Toilet Brush Holders

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 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.

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.

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. 

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. 

Plastic is durable, affordable and has an almost no limitations on design and colour. You’ll find everything from eye-popping colours and designs for a bright, joyful ambience, or darker colours with subdued aesthetics for a more modern and elegant effect. 

Ceramic toilet brush holders can create wonderful cohesion between it and other bathroom fixtures like the bathroom basin, tub and shower.

Usually frosted, glass can add elegance to the surroundings. It is not a common material, which adds to its allure and sophistication. It is most suitable for wall-mounted toilet brush units.

Including a wood toilet brush is an easy way to add an element of nature to the bathroom. Wood is sturdy and durable, and great for those after a more rustic look.  A bamboo toilet brush holder adds similar natural character to the bathroom and suits a more rustic look.

Typically stainless steel, metal toilet brushes are robust with a very reflective surface. They work well in many different types of situations and are easy to clean and maintain. 

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. 

There are plenty of other bathroom accessories that can be quickly and easily added to enhance your space. Toilet roll holders, for instance, can be matched with your choice of toilet brush holder to create a bit of styling cohesion. To keep your environment clean, high-quality bathroom bins are also a must. The same also go for towel rails which allows everyone to air their towels out for each use.
