A brushroll dowel for a vacuum cleaner has a bristle stiffener protruding from a brush dowel. A plurality of stiffened bristles protrude from the brush dowel adjacent to the bristle stiffener, and a plurality of unstiffened bristles also protrude from the brush dowel and are non-adjacent to the bristle stiffener.

A liquid cosmetic material container includes a sleeve that includes a storage chamber that stores a liquid cosmetic material therein, a bead member that is disposed at a front end of the sleeve, has a through hole extending in an axial direction of the liquid cosmetic material container and configured to store a brush in the through hole, a relay core that is configured to connect the brush and the storage chamber, enter the brush, and send the liquid cosmetic material in the storage chamber to the brush, and a cap that is detachably attached to the sleeve. A rear portion of the through hole has a first cross sectional area, and a front portion of the through hole has a second cross sectional area which is smaller than the first cross sectional area.

An interdental cleaning tool capable of reducing possibility of a cleaning portion being detached from a shaft portion includes a base portion including a shaft portion (20) having a shape insertable in an interdental space, and a cleaning portion (50) that covers at least a portion of the shaft portion and is capable of cleaning an interdental space. The base portion further includes a protruding portion (40) that protrudes from a covered portion (22) in a direction intersecting the shaft portion (20), the covered portion (22) being a portion of the shaft portion (20) and covered by the cleaning portion (50).

A toilet brush 1 having an articulated connection 5 between brush head 4 and brush handle 3 has a targeted blocking or lock in one of the two possible pivoting directions of the articulated connection 5 formed as a rotatable joint 10. For this purpose, the rotatable joint 10 is formed by the two fork ends 32, 33 at the end of the brush handle 3 and an axis 11, whereby the fork ends 32, 33 permit pivoting towards the side 15, but lock towards the other side 16, because here the two fork ends 32, 33 are connected to each other via a locking shell 41 and prevent pivoting. This locked, articulated connection 5 permits on the one hand very intensive cleaning of the outlet of the toilet basin, because the brush head 4 is bent up when pushed through and can then also clean the upper area of the outlet pipe. In addition, when the toilet brush 1 is turned, this articulated connection 5 is locked simultaneously and can clean the rest of the toilet basin with the corresponding pressure and also the inner channel at the upper edge of the toilet basin, again with the curved brush head 4. This improved cleaning effect is further optimized by the fact that practically the entire brush head 4 especially with bristles 6, 7, 8 is made of flexible, hygienically flawless material.
