There's a vast array of methods for keeping your house clean and organised, but some people go to extremes in the name of efficiency.

Take this hack, for example, where one woman revealed that she cleans her toilet brush in the dishwasher.

You read that right, folks! The woman explained that she bends the brush bristles back and over the dishwasher door before placing the brush and its holder inside the appliance for a 'hot wash'.

She wrote: 'I clean my toilet brush in the dishwasher every few months.'

'I just put the brush and holder in, on their own, on a hot wash and they come out like new.'

'A friend popped by this morning for coffee, and I opened the dishwasher to get out a couple of mugs, forgetting that I had put the toilet items in last night.'

'She totally freaked out, saying this is totally disgusting, and re-washed the mugs I had then taken out from the cupboard AND poured boiling water on them before she would allow me to make her coffee!!

'Was my friend being unreasonable? The mugs and loo bush were washed in separate loads!'

The post gained traction after The Project host Carrie Bickmore shared with her co-host Tommy Little that she stumbled upon the 'most revolting cleaning hack of all time' online.

Carrie Bickmore declared that she would definitely not use the 'cleaning hack'. Credit: Ten.

Carrie joked: 'She just never wants visitors again... Once you do that no one is ever going to pop around.'

'Not to mention nothing is ever fully clean when it's done in the dishwasher.'

Meanwhile, Tommy said that he would simply 'splurge’ and purchase a new one instead.

The post, as on Mumsnet, received a staggering 205 replies from fellow users who were stunned by the shocking revelation.

One user wrote: 'That is absolutely disgusting!'

'Why would you do that…' another asked.

A third chimed in: 'That’s so foul, I'd be ashamed to admit to doing that.'

'I'm with your friend there. How on earth could you even contemplate putting a toilet brush and holder into your dishwasher?' added another.

Key Takeaways

• Carrie Bickmore is disgusted by the idea of washing a toilet brush in the dishwasher, calling it 'revolting'.
• However, some people believe that it is fine to wash toilet brushes in the dishwasher, as long as the water is hot enough.
• Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide whether or not they want to wash their toilet brush in the dishwasher.

Some users, however, said that they back the hack if the tools were completely dry before using them again.

One person argued: 'Well if your dishwasher gets hot enough then I don't see a problem with it from a hygiene perspective, though I can understand it making people squeamish.'

'It's fine. My ex-partner used to do the same. We're both still alive. And still friends,' another shared.

We don't know how the other anonymous woman's coffee-drinking friend felt, but we are certainly not amused…

To make matters worse, they’re not the only one to have this idea… check out this story we shared in the past.

How about you? What's your take on this? Do you think this is an 'unhygienic' cleaning tip? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Could put it in a bucket of very hot water with a dishwasher tablet. Water can go down the drain then.

Unbelievable and so disgusting

 

[Sloopy]

I guess if you sterilised the dishwasher afterwards...

Since I don't have a dishwasher, I am "marked safe" from even contemplating this.

 

[terri]

How hard is it to just dunk your toilet brush in a bucket of very hot soapy water. Yuck, yuck, yuck to using the dishwasher. And with a load of dishes at the same time. Has common sense been completely lost by some??????

 

[Suzanne rose]

And just when you thought you heard it all . Gross and soooo Disgusting

 

[RTS]

Yuck! No, no, no! Never! That's the worst cleaning hack I've ever heard.
I can't imagine how anyone would think it was OK.

 

[Macarj]

Silly girl

 

[Maurie7]

Disgusting , wonder how she washes the kitty litter tray if she has a cat.

 

[JayKay]

Who would even think of it, let alone act on it?
Never, never, never....ever....

I won't even mention what she does with the scotch-brites that she washes the dishes with.

 

[gordon1940]

Come On!!! Surely....Surely this cannot be true but a crazy attempt for a few minutes of Fame and Attention.

 

[Singomate]

Pour some detergent over brush and flush in bowl very easy and clean.

 

[Penny4]

Anything to stay relevant in the media.
Akin to that crazy Lisa Wilkinson.
