I figure if a silicone blade is good for baking and cooking, it's good enough for the shitter.
They are confusing themselves over the material properties.
If you pooped on your baking tray then of course it would slide right off.
If you baked it for 2 hours first it then would still slide right off (...all in the name of Science!!!)
I wasn't talking about baking trays, I meant those silicone spatula thingy's. They are great for getting all sorts of sticky gunk off the sides of bowls etc...
As for the anti-bacterial properties, yeh, well, I don't really care about that. At the end of the day, IT'S A TOILET BRUSH. I just hate the thought of poop getting stuck in between bristles of a regular brush. At least the silicone ones can be easily cleaned and disinfected when required. Silicon, by nature, is hydrophobic so you don't need to shake it around to get the excess water off (and hope you don't splash yourself in the process).
They do claim that the silicone they use is embedded with some kind of silver ion or something (the same stuff fridge manufacturers boast about) but IT'S A TOILET BRUSH, so who cares? Function, looks and longevity are far more important.
...and the toilet brush in particular is something they prefer to hide behind covers.
I'm not sure I fully agree with that. Yes, it'd be nice to be able to hide away a "stick used for scrubbing poop" but on the same token I see it as something my guests should be able to easily find. If it's near the toilet, it's obvious what its use is. However if a guest happens to need it and it's hidden away, they might not necessarily go looking for it if it's not in the expected place. They are also very highly unlikely to ask where it is. That's just my opinion though, maybe people in other countries see it differently??
heh.. I can imagine a display saying "poop job spooled waiting for the buffer to clear" before flushing .... when the person in the next cubicle just beat you to the 'button' ![Cheesy :D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
I wonder what would happen if something were to get stuck in the queue and the system locked up? There would be pending poop everywhere! Would you then log a job with IT?
