A Simple Brush Design Tweak that Makes Cleaning Toilets Slightly Less... Gross
Since its conception, the toilet brush has been prone to creating less than desirable conditions, including a build up of residue and wastewater when stowed away. Through some very simple design changes, the Balance Brush provides an effortless solution to this.
A perfectly weighted redesign allows the Balance Brush to sit up and drip-dry over the toilet bowl after cleaning, disposing of wastewater down the toilet and preventing a build up of swampy waste when stowed in its holder.
While some toilet brush holders do provide drainage or suspend the brush to help with the drying process, this merely transfers the wastewater and residue from the brush to the holder. The Balance Brush's simple redesign provides the much-needed mechanism to rid itself of waste before it even leaves the toilet.

The design also has features you would expect from a toilet brush. It is equipped with drainage and a removable evaporator tray for times of hurried cleaning, a soft flexible collar that bends out of the way when cleaning deep that won't scratch the bowl, and a replaceable brush head to extend the life of the product.
Even with its form true to function, Balance Brush still manages to be visually striking, which certainly provides an interesting juxtaposition with its intended use.

What a crappy idea *giggle*. But seriously, I´d rather close the lid on the toilet and empty the brush holder more frequently. An better improvement would be to add a good way to grab and empty the holder than to have a poopwater-trebuchet sitting there for your toddler to activate. Typical "single male designer household" improvement. I would take bets on it.
I've been closing the lid on a regular brush, pinning it down. That also helps to keep it from launching when someone bumps it by accident.
Wanted to say the same thing.
