Biodegradable disposable toilet brush
A biodegradable toilet brush includes a biodegradable handle. The biodegradable toilet brush includes a brush head made of multiple layers of biodegradable fabric disks attached to and radiating outwardly from their attachment to the handle. Each of the fabric disks has a central slot dimensioned to receive the handle therethrough. The biodegradable toilet brush includes brush head retention pins that extend through spaced holes in the handle near a top of the handle and hold the fabric disks in place on the handle.
