Valet: The Stylish and Hygienic Toilet Brush Ensemble

A Unique Combination of Functionality and Elegance

The inspiration for Valet came to Tom Doull over a decade ago while designing residential bathrooms. He noticed that toilet brushes on the market were either uncomplimentary to the rest of the bathroom fixtures or expensive and difficult to clean. Determined to create a better solution, Doull teamed up with engineer Michael Bowen to bring Valet to life.

Valet stands out from other toilet brushes with its all-in-one design. It features a wall-mounted brush and an additional roll holder, combining two essential bathroom accessories into a single, elegant unit. The brush is stored in a sleeve that drains into a removable bottom cup, making it easy to clean and maintain hygiene. The bottom cup can be detached and rinsed in a hand basin, ensuring regular and effective cleaning.

One of the unique features of Valet is its slimline design, allowing the brush to be withdrawn from the sleeve without disrupting the stored rolls. This thoughtful design ensures convenience and functionality, making it a practical choice for any bathroom.

The materials used in the construction of Valet are carefully selected for their durability and hygienic properties. The brush bristles and stem are made from anti-microbial silicone, ensuring effective cleaning and tap drying. The storage sleeve is made of hygienic stainless steel, while the bottom cup is translucent ABS plastic. The wall bracket and handle are crafted from brass, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. Valet can be customized with a range of finishes, including powder-coated colors, brushed brass, nickel, or chrome, allowing it to seamlessly blend with any bathroom decor.

Measuring at just 50mm in width, 117mm in depth, and 435mm in height, Valet is a compact and space-saving solution for modern bathrooms. Its minimalist design and clean lines make it a versatile choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

Developed and tested over the course of a year, Valet is a product of Australian design and ingenuity. The design process involved drawings, digital models, and 3D printed prototypes, ensuring that every aspect of Valet was meticulously refined to meet the highest standards of functionality and aesthetics.

Valet is not only a practical and stylish addition to any bathroom but also a testament to the power of research and innovation. Tom Doull and Michael Bowen recognized a gap in the market and responded with a design that combines elegance, functionality, and ease of use. With a patent pending, Valet is set to revolutionize the way we think about toilet brushes.

Recognized for its exceptional design, Valet was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware category in 2023. This award celebrates well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Valet's integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and contribution to a better world make it a true standout in the field.

With Valet, cleaning your toilet has never been more stylish or hygienic. Say goodbye to unsightly and unhygienic toilet brushes and welcome the future of bathroom design.
