Clorox bright blue flexible toilet brush

Its narrow holder covers a smaller area but is easier to overturn. Target's exclusive brush has a soft neck that can bend under the edge of the toilet or sink into the bowl.

If you have a small bathroom, you may need a brush holder that takes up less space. In this case, the Clorox flexible toilet brush (more than $9, holder approximately $6) offers a similar appeal to Lysol, almost as easy to clean as a cheap alternative, and a base diameter of only 3.5-inch, compared to Lysol's 7 × 5.5-inch bottom.

Of course, there is a drawback: this foundation is more likely to overturn than the Lysol model. The holder makes the brush a little better than Lysol, but it also means its bristles don't dry easily, so it's easier to collect liquids and bacteria. The brush itself has a neck that bends under the edge of the toilet and goes deep into the bowl. It does it, but one more thing: it's hard to find it outside target's website or store.
