No brush by the toilet

Day of the journey
17

Public toilets and flats alike, there is almost never a brush. It puzzled me for a while before I worked out that there is nothing for one to do.

The bowls have a glaze nothing sticks to and the flush is generous. I have not missed it once, which is not what I would have guessed.
