How to clean a toilet without a brush

Jet wash it clean with the shiffter

The shiffter is a brushless and therefore hygienic alternative to the toilet brush. It simply uses water. Here’s a quick run down of how it works – from filling it up to using it. You can also check out the advantages and disadvantages to show how it compares as a toilet brush alternative. The shiffter is used to clean the toilet immediately after you have been to the loo. You clean as you go. It is not designed to remove ingrained stains during your weekly clean. And if you clean as you go, there won’t be any ingrained marks to remove anyway!

So, here’s how you use it…

It isn't rocket science...or is it?

It works with a simple system of valves

The shiffter isn’t just a squeezy bottle – although that is where the original inspiration came from. Here’s how it works:

  • there are two valves – one to let water out and one to let air in
  • the combination of the water and air valves allows the shiffter to stay non-drip when not in use but allow it to immediately retain its shape by letting air in
    • this maintains water pressure, and
    • makes it easy to squeeze
  • the inclusion of valves also means that you can simply pick the shiffter up from its stand and put it back in place without any complicated fiddling
  • the cross slit valve at the squirting end keeps water in until you squeeze it – therefore you don’t need to have a lid to cover the spout this saves time and there’s nothing to drop down the loo.
  • the air valve and filler cap are at the opposite end to the squirting nozzle – much more hygienic
