Users of the Facebook group shared their newest cleaning discovery for a bargain price.
According to Mrs Hinch fans, using bleach is an effective way to rectify the issue of a dirty brush.
One user shared her experience of letting bleach sit "around the pan overnight" whilst the brush sits in the solution - vowing that it's "so quick and easy"
“I pour bleach into the toilet and then I get the toilet brush and brush the toilet with the bleach water. It cleans the toilet and brush so easily," Emma Hashad added.
One fan stressed how it's vital to “always” use bleach when cleaning toilet brushes.
Daniela Delfina said: “You should always use bleach for the job. You can put bleach in the toilet and leave the brush there to soak.”
“Yes, I bleach the toilet then let the brush sit in the bleach for a while too," Tracy G Thorp agreed.
Alternatively, another user shared her tips to optimise the cleaning potential as she uses a "mop bucket" to make sure that "no smelly germs are left behind".
Emma Brookes explained: “I use a mop bucket, fill it with bleach and put the whole thing in the container too, not just the brush."
Toilet brushes are extremely effective for cleaning your toilet bowl, but it's essential that they remain clean otherwise bacteria can start to spread.
Using bleach, therefore, is an effective method to clean brushes as it a strong disinfectant that kills all bacteria.
Bleach can be purchased from major supermarket retailer Asda for as little as 38p.
Alternatively, you can use Zoflora for cleaning your toilet brush - as suggested by another Mrs Hinch fan.
“I leave Zoflora in it and it smells lovely when I use it," Anna Mcdonagh said.
Danielle White agreed: “I soak mine in Zoflora to disinfect it and keep it smelling fresh.
