Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Sure! The best thing to do is to take a rubber glove (or alternatively a towel (but put it in the wash afterwards! 😉 ) or just some sheets of toilet paper), grab the head hard and just pull it off. After that you can simply put on the new head, just pay attention to the structure of the plug-in system!

We have 2 different thread sizes in our range for our interchangeable head, in order to cover as many common (and known to us) thread sizes as possible. The choice between “Thread wide M12” and “Thread narrow” you can meet in the shop on the side of the exchange head.

Phew, in principle you can do that of course, because the LOOWY_EN head withstands the temperatures in the dishwasher without any problems. But whether we would recommend it to you…? Hard to say, we can’t make that decision for you. But we would rather not do it!

(Note: Yes, we really have been asked this question a few times. We are surprised ourselves!)

Our LOOWY_EN head is made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomers). We have deliberately decided against silicone, because after some time, and especially with regular contact with water, silicone begins to smell unpleasant and can also lose its color and structure. Our innovative TPE composition is also the reason for LOOWY_ENspecial properties: antibacterial, germ-free and water-repellent! It’s also insanely sturdy and very durable!

Of course! All our woods are pure solid woods and come from controlled cultivation, all of which are FSC/PEFC certified. True to our motto of sustainability, we pay particular attention to the responsible selection of our materials.

Sure, our plastic holders have three rubber nubs, which keeps them from slipping and keeps them standing securely, and our ceramic holders are also stable due to their heavier weight and flat bottom.

Sure! With our “Head+” we offer a way to turn any standard interchangeable head toilet brush into a genuine LOOWY_EN. In order to cover as many brush types as possible, we offer the “Head+” with two different thread types (“M12” and “thread wide”). The exact dimensions of the respective thread type can be found on the product page in our shop!

Basically we can say here: very long, so at least times 5 years! Of course you can change the head as often as you like. With a little care and regular cleaning, however, there’s really no expiration date for your LOOWY_EN.

The brush itself you can theoretically even pass on, as long as no defects occur… 😉

No, definitely not! Most woods (including the ones we use) are naturally antibacterial and germ-free for several reasons. The two most important properties are the tannins of the wood and the hygroscopic properties, which give bacteria and germs no chance to survive on the surface.

Incidentally, this is also the reason why wooden cutting boards are usually considered the better alternative to plastic in the kitchen!

No. Our LOOWY_EN does not lose these properties because they are not present due to a special coating of the head, but due to the special mixing ratio of the material the head is made of. So as long as the head is there, LOOWY_EN does not lose these properties!

We could give you hundreds of reasons, but here is a selection of the most important (for us):

1. The head of the LOOWY_EN is not made of silicone, but of a silicone-like material. The advantage of this is that – just like silicone – it is naturally water-repellent, but at the same time much more robust, durable and odourless.
2. The replaceable head means that our customers are not forced to buy a completely new toilet brush every time the head stops working. This contributes to environmental protection and is cost-effective and good for the conscience.
3. The LOOWY_EN is produced exclusively in Bavaria and therefore has a significantly better CO2 footprint than brushes that are produced abroad and have to be imported first.
4. Due to the production in Bavaria we have the further advantage that we can carry out quality controls on a large scale ourselves without any problems. This guarantees our customers that they are buying a truly high-quality product that is Made in Germany. At SAUBA, we like to keep our promises of quality!
