How do I clean the Loo Blade?Updated 4 hours ago
TL;DR: Hold the Loo Blade head over a drain and pour boiling water from the kettle over it, slowly, with rubber gloves on. The heat and the flow carry off whatever the flush left on the blades, so there is nothing sitting there to smell. Let it air dry, then stand it back in the ceramic pot. Once a week suits most homes. Keep bleach away from the head.
How do I clean the Loo Blade head?
✓ The kettle method, in three steps
Hold the head over a drain. The toilet bowl works, so does a sink or a bathtub drain. Somewhere the water can run straight away.
Pour boiling water over it. Straight from the kettle, slowly and steadily, so the water runs through the blades rather than bouncing back at you.
Air dry, then put it away. The flexible head sheds water quickly. Once it stops dripping, stand it back in the ceramic pot.
✓ Why boiling water is enough
Nothing sticks to the flexible head the way it does to bristles. A swipe of hot water at pressure lifts the film that a cold rinse leaves behind, and once that residue is gone there is nothing left on the blades for an odour to come from. No detergent, no bleach.
How often should I do it, and what if it starts to smell?
✓ How often
Once a week covers a normal household, and it fits neatly onto the end of your weekly bathroom clean. A rinse in the fresh flush water after every use is enough in between.
✓ If it starts to smell
An odour means residue has built up somewhere, usually where the head meets the handle or in the bottom of the pot. Pour the kettle over the head, tip the pot out and rinse it too, then let both dry fully before they go back together. Water trapped under a wet head is the usual culprit.
What should I watch out for?
⚠ Handling boiling water
Wear rubber gloves and pour slowly and steadily. Keep the head low over the drain so the water has nowhere to splash, and keep children and pets out of the room while you do it.
⚠ Keep bleach off the head
Chlorine bleach can degrade the flexible head over time, so leave it out of the routine entirely. Boiling water and a rinse are what the head is designed for. Loo Cleaner Tabs are the product to pair with it in the bowl.
What replacement heads and accessories are there?
When a rinse is not enough
If the blades have gone soft or splayed, cleaning will not bring them back. Loo Blade Head pushes straight onto the handle you already own. Pop the old one off, push the new one on.
Getting under the rim
Loo Blade Rim Cleaner attaches to your existing Loo Blade and angles up under the toilet rim. Give it the same kettle treatment afterwards.
Handle, head and ceramic pot together. Charcoal here, and there is a white version if that suits the room better.
Drop one in, let it fizz, then swipe with Loo Blade. Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) certified and Sensitive Choice approved.
