Of course, you can use the same cleaner and disinfectant to clean the toilet brush holder.

Why does it work?

Black soap is a multi-use household product, ideal for cleaning.

Soda crystals are a powerful disinfectant well known to our grandmothers.

Antibacterial, white vinegar is an excellent disinfectant. It also has the advantage of deodorizing.

Combined with soda crystals, it cleans and disinfects in depth.

Bonus tip

To clean the toilet brush, you can also put white vinegar in the bottom of the brush holder.

This way, the toilet brush will be disinfected every time you use it.

Precaution

Although it's tempting to use bleach to clean the toilet brush, NEVER mix bleach and white vinegar. The vapors from this mixture are very toxic.
