Do I need to consider the base when choosing a stainless steel toilet brush?

When choosing a stainless steel toilet brush, the base is a key factor that must be considered, as it directly affects the convenience of use, hygiene maintenance, and overall lifespan. The following are specific points to pay attention to:

1. Material and Durability
Priority should be given to 304 stainless steel: The base should be made of the same material as the brush handle (such as 304 stainless steel), with rust and corrosion resistance, and not easily rusted or deformed in long-term humid environments.
Structural strength: The base should be load-bearing and stable to avoid tipping over due to the weight of the brush. Some cheap bases only have stainless steel brush racks, and the bottom plastic is prone to aging. It is necessary to confirm the overall material consistency.

2. Drainage and odor prevention design
Drainage structure: The preferred base is equipped with a drainage bucket, and the residual water from the brush head flows into the bottom drainage area through the drainage hole to avoid the brush head from soaking in water and emitting a foul odor. For example, the detachable drainage bucket in the patented design can separate accumulated water from the brush head.
Convenience of drainage: The side wall of the base should have a tilted water outlet. When pouring accumulated water, the components do not need to be disassembled, and the water can be poured directly by tilting it to avoid hand contact with sewage.

3. Installation method and space adaptation
Wall mounted or floor standing: Choose according to the layout of the bathroom. Wall mounted (such as screw fixation) saves floor space, but requires wall load-bearing capacity; The floor standing design is more flexible and suitable for small apartments.
Anti slip base: The floor standing bottom should have anti slip pads to avoid displacement caused by water stains on the ground.

4. Compatibility with brush heads
Buckle matching degree: If the brush head is replaceable, the base should be adapted to the brush handle fixing groove to prevent the brush head from shaking or falling off.
Pop up design (advanced requirement): Some high-end bases (such as automatic pop-up models) have built-in spring mechanisms, and the brush head automatically pops up after pressing the button, ensuring that the brush does not get dirty, but the structural stability needs to be confirmed.

5. Convenience of cleaning and maintenance
Detachable components: The drain bucket, seat cup, etc. should be removable and washable to avoid dirt accumulation. The integrated base has many blind spots for cleaning and is prone to bacterial growth over the long term.
No dead corners structure: Avoid complex gaps (such as decorative grooves), smooth surfaces are easier to wipe.
