Why don't people use toilet brushes in the USA?
For us, a brush is an essential element of the restroom.. In America, everything is different!

Differences from European plumbing
In the USA there are siphon toilets type, the water in them is always high, and the drain is characterized by increased power; it literally sucks in the entire contents of the bowl under enormous pressure, carrying it far into the pipes. The system allows you to immediately wash away dirt, protecting the walls of the plumbing. The reasons go deep into history. This happened because the Americans strive to redo everything in their own way. They took a British toilet as a basis and modified the design: they removed the tank and changed the principle of sewerage.
In Europe and in the territory of the former USSR, the sewage system is installed in the ceilings between floors, and in America - under them. The design is simple at first glance, but it is optimal for maintaining cleanliness and without the notorious brush. The European approach involves placing the drain pipe almost at the same level as the toilet, so there is no high pressure for quick flushing. The water in the bowl serves as a kind of stopper, which prevents unpleasant odors from the sewer from spreading throughout the house. During the discharge of the contents, the water is pushed through without additional pressure.
We can safely say that American sewerage works better! The question is: why wasn’t it implemented all over the world?
Most American institutions save on brushes, but in American homes they are still kept in a secret corner for cleaning, although most often this procedure is entrusted to the service personnel. At other times, this item is safely hidden in the pantry.
A little humor with a touch of philosophy
Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek joked that sewers reflect a nation's worldview. He made interesting conclusions.
- French people. Their drain is located in the back of the toilet, so as not to injure the delicate nature. It is not appropriate for the French to look at the waste of the body; their romantic soul cannot stand it.
- Germans. They carefully monitor their health, so they can analyze excrement for changes, so they have a drain ahead of them.
- Americans. They are known for their love of analysis, and their toilets allow you to combine the two above systems into one: both check and flush with noise.
A fun theory that finds an original explanation for perceived differences in culture and makes a subtle point in a humorous way.
Nobody denies the difference in worldviews. Every nation has its own quirks, and migrants often bring their own flavor. It is difficult to get rid of the habit, and our conservative people, when moving to the USA, do not forget about tradition even in the toilet, carefully placing the brush in the place they have been accustomed to since childhood.
I would like to note that good American housewives still have brushes. From time to time, limescale accumulates on the walls, and only this tool will give your plumbing fixtures pristine cleanliness. In any case, the unique sewage system saves you from the main dirt in almost 100% of cases!
It is worth concluding that Americans are a practical nation that knows how to break stereotypes in their favor.For centuries, the established design of the entire sewer system has flaws, and they managed to correct this and redo it in a unique manner, which is not devoid of aesthetics. So any seemingly quirk has its own logical explanation!
Lies and provocation, I’ve been to America and seen their “purity”, it’s scary to go near the toilet! Unless of course it's a 10 star hotel! The rest is just a nightmare.
nonsense, the author has never been to the States.
For 10 toilets with regular and different flushes, one may be American, so to speak.
There are big problems with cleanliness in the States.
I live a lot in Austria.
This is truly aerobatics.
I can’t answer for all of the States, but it’s hard for me to imagine problems with cleanliness in the toilets of California and Hawaii.
Has anyone seen what it all looks like during the process and before the contents are completely washed off? Such toilets are in Thailand. That's horrible!!!!!
G……..oh it’s also in Africa………
Also tactfully sticks to all toilets. And there’s no need to try to prove here that Pindos’s shit washes off better than others.
What a rotten article………………………………..
The situation is exactly the same with French cars, for example. Everything that seems strange about them actually turns out to be more convenient and reliable than that of competitors, take, for example, the famous Citroen hydraulic suspension.I used to think that this system was a complete hemorrhoid, but when I started using it, I realized that a regular spring suspension is both more complicated and more expensive to maintain.
The author does not understand what he is writing. He's just delusional. No one is laying sewerage in the ceilings. What is the pressure in a gravity sewer? Is a vertical drain more powerful? You not only didn’t study at school and don’t know how to translate from English into Russian, but you also haven’t seen a single toilet in your life. Apparently they've been shitting in a cesspool all their lives. And it's very liquid. A brush can help you.
In Soviet toilets, the flush tank was also located almost under the ceiling, what does the Americans have to do with it... They just found out that our flush tank flushes away feces more efficiently, so they introduced a more advanced system..
That’s how it got hold of people! It’s like verbal diarrhea! Apparently, it’s boiling in my soul))
I sat on the toilet, it felt as if my butt was floating in the water, and when you got up, you needed to dry it, and sometimes lubricate it for itching after the cleaner had cleaned it.
The water is high. It’s disgusting when you poop and the answer in the form of a cloudy splash flies into your third eye.
Pendos generally love everything that has to do with the ass. Hence the love of first notifying everyone that you are about to take a shit, then splashing shit into the water with a splash, raising it all higher in the toilet... And then notifying the whole house... I took a shit!!!!
Russians don’t always have toilets, mostly a hole in the floor, in a field.
And get a fountain of water with shit in your ass!
…HORRIBLE !!!!! I'VE LIVED IN THE USA SINCE 1993.I HAVE NOT SEEN A ONE HOUSE WHERE THEY ARE NOT USING A BRUSH, THE WASHING WASHER IS ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN APARTMENTS (AND NOT ALL OF THEM) AND......HOMELESS.... NORMAL HAVE A WASHER AND A DRYER. NEVER INVOLVED IN A MORE STUPID ARTICLE, A LIE THAT CAN EASILY BE CHECKED... IT’S LIKE THE OLD SOVIET STORIES...” I HAVEN’T READ SOLZHENITSYN MYSELF..., BUT I CONDEMN...”
The article is crap!
I have a completely American toilet at home and I’ll tell you, I still use brushes, and not to remove limescale, as the article says.
What kind of pressure should there be if when I take a shit, sometimes I have to rub it with a brush for half an hour, because... everything stuck and smeared! And then pick out this plasticine from the brush!
These are the comments!!!!
And I thought in American toilets they only smell roses...
As for the genius of the Americans with the toilet, it’s complete crap and completely inconvenient for us normal Europeans. All the excrement splashes into the stagnant and not always clean water, creating a fountain of spray that washes your entire butt. What if there is something already floating there or if there is a urea mixture instead of water? Brrrrr!! Such an abomination, but the Pindos apparently like it. They are not like everyone else, they are special...
I live in Russia and also don’t use a brush, because... I realized that toilet paper is nicer.
It killed me about the French, they and the whole of Europe too, they were still pigs, they never washed, they shit in palaces around the corners, they came up with perfumes to mask their stench. They said about our bathhouse that we were savages. I'm talking about the erosion and trauma of their romantic nature)))
It follows from the article that the American toilet is filled with water before use.The toilet essentially plays the role of a flush cistern. Therefore, the design must have a valve that opens the outlet of water into the sewer pipe, which must be periodically cleaned of water stone and adhering g... which is not ice. In fact, their toilet resembles a railway or airplane version. In some ways it may be better, and in some ways worse than the European one. A matter of taste. In fact, amers do not poop in the toilet (like normal people) but in the toilet flush cistern. :-))
Everything is correct because in such toilets there is more water, they become less dirty, it is very convenient, I wash it rarely, and for your information, the water is very soft and of good quality; there is not and cannot be any limescale deposits. In general, everything here is done for people’s convenience.

That's why Uncle Trump got high with ruffs at the back gate of Honduras
I used American toilets... God forbid that a cotton swab or a wad of hair or too much toilet paper gets into the toilet... all the crap will come from the outside. And when you get wet in a tank like that, your whole ass is wet and it’s not clear whether it’s from the water or the drizzle.
The author was joking. calm down
don't joke about serious topics
I haven’t been to the USA and haven’t used such toilets, but... when looking at the photo, I immediately have a question - when carrying out the process in a “sitting” position, won’t the splashes fly into your ass? In my opinion, this is not very hygienic and not at all pleasant... Especially in a public toilet.
I can’t speak for the Americans, but in the Russian Federation I distinguish two types of toilets: 1. A throne with a pedestal is a toilet where the poop first falls on a horizontal structure, separate from the colostomy bag.Convenient for analyzing poop, retains odor less well and is not suitable for large batches of feces (in one wash). 2. Diver's throne - this is a toilet where the poop either immediately “dives” into the colostomy bag with a characteristic gurgle, or is first smeared on the walls of the toilet, depending on the steepness of the so-called. "descent". Such a toilet retains odor better and is easier to clean, but it either gets dirty more often or is splashed heavily with slop water.
In order to use the “notorious” brush less (I don’t know why, the author called it that), I recommend putting some toilet paper on the pedestal before bombing. If you have a diver's throne, put some paper on the trigger, as well as in the colostomy bag - this will prevent splashing of sediment water.
But what about the splashes, or do they just walk around with wet w...?
A far-fetched article, of course.
