:(My cat knocked my brush and stand in the toilet!Just after I stood up #1 in the bowl.I used dish washing gloves to get them back and wash them in hot water and soap.But yuck,how do I sterilize this mess?:gthThe brush is a Simpson so I can't just throw it out,but yuck!!!!!!!!!
I hear that cat hair makes a good brush and if it's a big enough cat, the skin can be used for a strop. Never having been in that situation, I wouldn't know. Could you run it through the dish washer?
A couple tablespoons of bleach in a gallon of water will kill anything on your stuff. You may want to do some 'aversion' therapy with your cat. Perhaps a little soap on his coat and hold down the toilet lid, Voila! A clean toilet AND a clean cat. (Bet he won't go near the toilet for awhile...lol)
Edwardd, as a fellow Oregonian, I would think that you would know the Oregon cure. A good washing with baby shampoo and a 30 day soak in water from Mt Hood. As to the cat, forget it. They own us, not we them.
Does that mean dipping the brush in the toilet before lathering is a bad idea?
Welcome to the small bathroom stinky fluffy skydiver club, dude. Do not worry... i have my own recipe to deal with that, and I am proud to share it with you.
#1-all the zoo your brush acquired at the toilet head is already known by your immunologic system, so you shall not fear.
#2-soap is good, other things don't.
#3-Buy a cheap Dove soap and beat about 5-6 newbie-lathering protocols from it (press till the knot against the bottom of mug to soak it with foam - my Dove reduced about 1/4 of its size after 6 mugs of "lather").
#4-Rinse brush until all soap is gone.
#5-Let the brush dry for about a week (bone-dry, dude... absence of water is what really kills everything) and voilą. Like new, and no smell at all.
Oh, forget about the cat, it will endure performing anything its little mind wants to do. Let's pray your cat was not amused watching your agony. If it had fun watching your despair, dude... you are screwed... it will repeat just to watch your reaction, just for fun. Drill a hole on your brush and give it a meter long lanyard attached to the cabinet... and live with it.
Get your self over to amazon. Follow the advise above then buy a uv steriliser. Yep 's' not 'z' English lol. However I Don't know how brushes react to uv sterilisation.
+1 on the Chlorine/Bleach and water... Public Pools that run Chlorine run around 5 parts per million Chlorine:Water... Couple minutes in that solution will take care of it all... Just Rinse/Dry well after.
Good Thread... Bonus Points on the Ick Factor!! :)

Lather it up in dishwashing liquid multiple times to get any clumpy stuff out. Rinse well. Soak in bleach water for a good 5 minutes. Wring it out and let it dry for a week. Do a normal lather, throw lather out, clean the brush with water. Should be good then.
Imagine what that brush went threw while still on the animal, this is way less gross then that. I agree with the light bleach, let it dry then build a couple lathers with it over the next few weeks. I should be good as new if not better.
I might be careful soaking the knot beyond the bristles. Bleach is pretty basic (pH) and might have a negative effect on the knots adhesive.
Ultrasonic cleaners are not terribly expensive (~$30) on The Big Website Named After a South American River.
Well, I would never of admitted this, you have bigger ones than me. Trash the brush and stand, sell the cat and buy a new one :)
Well my wife saved the day,she pointed out we still have a bottle of surgical scrub.So I loaded the brush with that and let it sit for 15 minutes,then rinsed with hot water.I'm gonna let it dry then load it with shave soap to get the hospital smell out.:wAfter hearing my howl of anguish the cat has been trying to make up to me all day and being extra cute.:chop:
Ya gotta luv those little furries.
Dude, i see a lot of overkill methods for this kind of phenomena (just my opinion, I do not want to offend anyone at all)... we are animals, fullfilled of sh**, you will not be harmed by the zoo that occupied your brush before the incident. If you wash your animal-haired brush with bleach or peroxide it will be discolored at least. Water, soap and sun will do the trick. Wash your inanimated object as I told you and let it dry for a week. While it dries, put you cat on you lap and pet the hell out of him... enjoy your cat, man, and relax... soap is enough... do not went paranoid. Hospital biocides have crazy amounts of SDS, synthetic detergents from hell, formaldehyde, methanol etc. A very weak solution of this kind of thing can destroy the plating on the frame and anti-reflex coatings on lenses of sunglasses (empiric observation). Trust the biochemist guy, and do not forget to pet the cat (this is good for both of you, enjoy the endorphins). We are, anyway, coated with bacterial film and they are not a menace for you.
Do a favor for all of us and avoid spread any kind of biocide on environment... they tend to select the nastiest MFkg bacteria, at the cost of the good ones.
Take it easy, dude, relax and enjoy... that“s life.
I agree. A diluted bleach solution to soak the brush, then a soak in warm water with some sort of shampoo. Finally let the brush thoroughly air dry.
That ought to do the trick.
Well, I won't even ask what the cat was doing in the John with you.
Personally I'd trash the whole thing.

IMO its no big deal just give it a wash with soap and carry on as normal. At the end of the day you will probably get more germs opening doors at work !
Urine is sterile...just a breeding ground for bacteria after it leaves your body...everyone should invest in a bottle of barbicide....kills anything....and safe to soak equipment in, its what us barbers use.
Flush before standing.
I dropped my new Semogue in a toilet full of pee. It was very sad to me, but my gf couldn't stop laughing. I just lathered it everyday for a week in soap, let it sit upside down a while, and finally wash and dry out. The presence of a deuce really makes this terrible. I learned never to leave the toilet seat up while shaving. Swmbo was quite happy about that too. I think daily soaping for a good while will take care if it. Think about it this way: you have poo all over your bum and you just wipe off the excess with some paper. Then you walk around all day thereafter; if this was any other part of your body nobody would be cool with that. It's all mental so just wash the brush a ton.

It's gonna be a giant craze! SRP is gonna start carrying catigo strops soon.
entropy1049 I'm laughing so hard I can't type.
:rock::rock::rock:
I am just thinking that I will be "not in" if I see a brush in a PIF from now on...
:hmmm:
A brush is so much easier to clean than a cell phone which has dropped into a toilet bowl containing organic deposited mass.
Thanks
Bob
Duh, just flush first and hope it doesnt overflow...phone cant fit down the drain...and if it was a bad poo just do a triple flush.Quote:

Depending on the size of the device, it can go down into the sewer or the septic tank but more likely it will get solidly jammed deep inside the toilet. You may not want to try flushing a phone for fear of being entirely too successful.Quote:
