: Kitty Litter Brush Accident

[ZackP]

Oh, it's true. The brush all lathered fell into the kitty litter. Did it get anything on it? Probably not. But I'm still freaked. I cleaned it with shampoo, then put some dish detergent, some alcohol, and some hot water and it's sitting for awhile...will I get toxoplasmosis or something?

Yep. Your days are now numbered.

 

[Foyle]

I'm sort of wondering why your brush and the cat litter box are in such close proximity in the first place.

The only way you can possibly counteract the effects is by licking the brush

Don't feel bad, My 18 month old took my Merkur and vulfix for a dunk in the toilet.

Jerry wouldn't use it, that's for sure.

How'd that turn out? And, although it isn't really anyone's business, I do have an issue with germs, more so than most, so an issue is ten fold worse than what many may feel it is to them. So, I legitimately am curious to know if this brush will be clean after all of this. The toxoplasmosis part was a joke!

If you are really freaked out, pick up some Barbicide at Sally Beauty supply.

I soaked both in Oxy Clean for an hour. And I realize it happens. I already spent money on them, I wasn't going to just toss them. I have issues with germs as well but the toilet was clean I clean it daily. The toilet hadn't been used other than for pee. And pee is sterile as far as I know. So cleaning it put me at ease. I have used it for the last 3 days it happen 4 days ago. Judge me I won't mind.

I don't have a cat, so need something clarified.

is the kitty litter box, normally in the bathroom or were you walking around the house lathering?

I always thought they were in basements or somewhere with little traffic, with the exposed turds and all.

I won't judge a veteran, that'd be dumb Thank you for your service by the way and the good words. I know theoretically the germs are gone, but I guess it's the thought. I love the brush though so I need to truck on!

You could always train the cat to use the toilet and would never have this issue again.

Problem solved.

 

[franz]

That's hilarious.

I think you'll be fine. A gentle scrub/soak with dish soap is enough.

One of the Mods needs to merge this thread with that blow torch thread from yesterday

will I get toxoplasmosis or something?

I wouldn't worry much as long as you aren't pregnant or breast feeding.

 

[Mad Man]

Ok, here's the solution.

Clipper the cat, send the fur to Rudy or Tony or Mark to make a knot, leave the original brush in the litter.

Fair trade methinks...

 

[musicman1951]

I would wash the brush and refrain from putting it into my mouth for at least a week. Do a more severe lip roll when lathering.

 

[Porp]

Hrm, a Veg scented brush, interesting.

 

[Crag]

Send me the brush, Zack...I'll keep good care of it for you...I'll send it back when I'm done usin...er cleaning it.
