Would you leave the toilet brush??

We're moving out of our (rented) place soon and we're leaving a toilet brush. We've bought a new one for 50p from Wilko's and we'll leave it with the sticker on so they know it's new lol. The first thing I do when I move in anywhere is bin the loo brush, regardless of whether it's on the inventory. I buy a new one to replace it but there's something REALLY horrible about the thought of someone else's loo brush *shudders*. We'll be leaving a loo roll too because there's never been one in anywhere that we've moved into and it's a real pain.

I left the toilet brush as I didn't want to pack it up and move it to my new house (yuck). They way I see it is if the new owner doesn't want it they can bin it (Along with the empty 50p bottle of "smile" wine I left them)

Just neatly cut some 6 x 6inch squares of old newspapers and leave them in a nice "pile" next to the bog.

You could also use squares of Yellow Pages or Thomsons Directory (the latter being a better texture) as an alternative just in case someone gets caught-short! ................. a very "cost effective" solution :rolleyes:

We left a new house card and some daffs in a milk bottle.
Its what I would have liked, didn't happen with the new house though - hohum.

Hi, When some friends moved into their first home, the previous owners had left them an "welcome pack" of loo roll, tea bags, sugar, coffee and a pint of milk and bottle of wine. They were so touched by this and say it really helped their move by making them feel so positive about the kindness of others!

If I find a toilet brush in a place I bin it and buy a new one.

Strangely lots of my friends' have spare new unused toilet brushes. I only found this out when I moved and rushed out the next day to buy a new one with other random bits and pieces. As a result I now have a spare new unused toilet brush.

I presume the reason people leave them is either because they are on the inventory, or because they don't realise someone else doesn't want to use their toilet brush.

I would do the decent thing..Leave the Brush, a bog roll & some Immodium , cos once they realise their investment is about reduce in value they will be sxxxxng themselves !!!

I'm with Melly - nasty things live in toilet brushes - so toilet brushes don't live in our house!!

Ha I didn't realise the loo brush dilemma was so widespread.

When we did our little move-out-to-move-back-in jobby to dupe our letting agents, we were doing a last scout round before the inspection and the place was empty and pristine. Then I noticed the offending article in all its faux-chrome glory and a three-way debate ensued.

Mr Phirefly was all for leaving it it while the PhireMother was insistant on binning it. I was torn... We were moving back in that night and while I wasn't keen on loading it in the Sprinter with the rest of our sneakily hidden posessions across the car park, I thought it was wasteful to get rid only to have to buy a new one.

In the end it wasn't till Martin from Lettings (yes in my world all property persons are 'Martin' - even the women. No ref to mse's founding father and all that) pulled up in his mid-exec-mobile that the object in question was hastily stashed behind the wheelie bin.

I never thought I'd EVER find occasion to recount that tale
