Reminds me of  the "pour into pan, heat" instructions on soup.  Guess people would bite right into the can otherwise.

That's why those disposable toilet brushes annoy me. Whay the hell else is any sane person going to use a toilet brush for??  :blink: Just more landfill cloggers, no pun intended.  :angry:

Have you tried one?  I wasn't impressed.  <_<  Does a great job on the baby powder in the commercial, though.  

There was a brush on the market last year that was one-use, but I don't find it anymore.  Apparently, the plastic part was flimsy & unsatisfying for most consumers' toilet-scrunbbing experiences.  The one out now by Scotch-Brite has a pad that is thrown away (do NOT flush, according to the package) but if you get a defective brush that won't release the pad like my sister did, you either have to wrangle the doody-water soaked pad off or throw the whole damn thing away & start over.   :lol:

The reason these warnings exist is because people actually do them, and THEN they sue when they don't work out the way they seemed to expect them to.

I remember reading where a hotel had a sign on their window balconies that said "no fishing or diving from balcony".  I guess it'd been done before and they wanted to prevent a reoccurance.

The people that do those things deserve to die.

I use a Swiffer and I rather like it.  My girls (my indoor cats) are a rather messy bunch and this house for some reason collects an insane amount of dust quickly, so I found it an easy solution.  I've had the same Swiffer for a couple of months now and the only waste is the little napkin thingy you attach to the head to clean with.

As for toilets, and I have a feeling no one's gonna wanna shake my hand when I say this, but I'd rather just slap on a glove and scrub down there myself.  Then after I'm done, scalding hot water and some bleach.  Brushes are ass.  Most of them are too weak for good scrubbing and the non-disposable ones just sit there in the corner, bits of your own waste still on them, mocking you.
