How to keep loo nice? Dh doesnt flush over night

[EnidBlyton]

The first flush is from me at 8.00 am

what can I do to make the loo lovely

no doubt there are other non flushers. for the yellow I mean

We don't flush on s night either. Brand new house and after 3 years two of the toilets are fine, kids toilet is minging but they just don't flush ever. So my point is leaving over night shouldn't affect the toilet but longer periods do.

We use bleach on ours a couple of times a week and a wash every weekend.

Keep a bottle of bleach in the bathroom. At night put some around the rim. Dont flush until morning.

We are the same TBH .I thought not good for the planet to flush every time?"If its yellow let it mellow""If its brown flush it down!" I just squirt some bleach down and scrub every other day to reduce bleach usage

My in-laws never flush overnight and have the cleanest toilets imaginable.

Beautiful3 This is nor recommended TBH, as Chlorine and wee mixed together can cause Chlorine Gas to be released .

I live in a part of the world where water is not exactly in short supply, and is hasn't been a rare commodity in any part of the UK this winter, so the environmental argument is irrelevant here.

Like PenelopeFlintstone I'm wondering just how noisy everyone's plumbing is, and just how many people are very light sleepers. Wouldn't putting the lid down and flushing with the door closed muffle the sound sufficiently?

We don't flush overnight. I flush in the morning. My toilet is perfectly clean without doing anything special.

We don't flush in the night for a wee and I'm not really sure why because it's not particularly noisy. I think it's through fear of waking the baby even though she'd sleep through a hurricane.

Is your husband not flushing at night actually causing a problem?

I don't flush at night. I get up for about 20 bazillion wees in the night so would be huge waste of water.

Our toilet isn't yellow though.

@cuckooken we absolutely used to tip toe around all evening after our DD went to bed because she was a terrible sleeper day and night. Any sort of noise would wake her and result in hours of crying.
If my DH had flushed the toilet I would have done more then LTB.

Our son on the other hand will sleep through anything. Different children.

Urine is sterile. In fact it has less bacteria in it than the clean toilet water it's going into. You are wasting water by flushing and putting excess chemicals into the environment by cleaning constantly. Why so fearful of a bowl of inert liquid?

I'm surprised on two fronts. Firstly that iyou're getting a cleaning problem from wee in the loo for a few hours and secondly that no one has asked why you are responsible for another adults unpleasant mess

Easy- your husband has to clean the toilet more often as he is causing the problem.

I would recommended him using Harpic limescalez

One of the best pieces of advice I was given when DD was born was to not make the house absolutely silent when trying to get DD to sleep. She often used to fall asleep while the TV was on or there were other household sounds in the background. As a result flushing the loo at night never woke her up.

DH usually gets up for a wee in the en suite. I have just asked him if he always flushes, and he does. It never wakes me up. He says it isn't the noise, but that the sound is a familiar one.

I live in Geneva where it is illegal to flush at night . Our toilets are fine, maybe your DH needs to drink more water so his wee isn’t dark!!

Bucket of water next to the loo to do a manual flush?

Just flush it once done. I don’t get all this don’t flush at night rubbish

Yup, we did this. As a little baby she'd sleep through the TV no problem. As she got older it became a distraction and she needed to sleep in a different room. Now depending on where she is in her sleep cycle, the loo flushing in a quiet house (as most are overnight!) will wake her about half the time. And about half of those she won't be able to get herself back over to sleep.

Everyone is different, and that's true for children as well as adults.

Just flush it once done. I don’t get all this don’t flush at night rubbish

Lucky you!

i dont think it is an unpleasant mess, well it is not pleasant but i would not want to hear the loo flushing in the middle of the night or early in the morning, when he leaves,
i dont like bleach, makes me cough, stains things.
will try something else, before going to bed.
thanks for the tip

tbh i think it was the disinfectant not helping

How often do you both wee during the night??

I hope he flushes after a poo?

The trick is to get rid of the limescale, and as far as I can tell bleach only whitens it. You can use stronger products to get rid of it if it’s built up, but a good scrub every week should be enough after that. It’s the limescale that stains rather than the porcelain.

Are you a particularly light sleeper EnidBlyton?

Would flushing with the lid down and the door closed still wake you up?
