    I assume you are concerned because they came in contact with the toilet. You can wash them in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry them and add oil to those tools which need it. You can also spray them with disinfecting spray.

    Yes, hot soapy water does the trick with a brush, rinse with clear water and allow to dry, I would put them on newspaper outside so they get the benefit of the sun. Oil if they will rust. As Tom said, spray them with a disinfecting spray, this will kill any remaining bacteria.

    A soak in lysol solution might be recommended. Actually they teach us to do that with garden tools with each pruning as not to transmit disease plant to plant.
