If you don’t have a toilet brush…

[onflic]

…what would you want guests to do with ‘below the line’ skid marks?

Had overnight stay this weekend with some friends and I felt terrible leaving a mess but there was nothing available. No cleaning products or toilet brush in bathroom.

Bleach down the pan sorts it.

If I were hosting, I would think "I must get a loo brush or leave some rubber gloves in the cupboard or something." Especially as you realise you left your guest in a potentially embarrassing situation.
It's not the guests fault if they couldn't do anything about it!
I wouldn't expect a guest to literally put their ungloved hand in the bog water of someone else's toilet!

In the future, when out the house, always use a piece or two of loo roll floating on the water pre-poo. Stops poo marks, secondary benefit of avoiding noises.

Pretty disgusting to expect guests to stick their hands in your toilet bowl because you haven’t provided them any way of cleaning up after themselves.

I just have a loo brush and it takes away the awkward situation for anyone using the loo.It really isn’t that hard!

This thread is making me splutter
😂
and whoever said they’re taking no chances & catching the poo first wins this thread

Pretty much says what I think.

Squeeze hand-soap into the bowl.
then fill any available container - a vase or glass with hot water and flush.
The resulting bubbles will clean and hide the marks.

Quite - also how toxic is the poo of the people who are objecting to removing it manually? Mine is quite benign. Does theirs bite or something?

I’ve never left a skid. For clarity, I take one laxido (prescribed) in the evening to counteract pain meds and always produce a number 4 poo on the Bristol stool chart in the morning. Job(bie) done.

Agree, I’m not putting my hand in toilet water.

Loo roll down the toilet before pooping stops this.. also stops the splash back 😬

I’ve got to know who’s vile.. the ones who are plunging their hands wrist deep into the toilet water or the ones who won’t?

I mean, you still shouldn’t touch your own excrement if you can help it. It’s a waste product for a reason.

I can recommend a silicone toilet brush to everyone, very clean.

I see the anti-bog-brush brigade are out in force here.

I am the proud owner of two bog brushes. One in the bathroom upstairs and on beside the downstairs toilet.

I would never expect anyone to have to put their hands down beneath the waterline of my toilet and I wouldn't expect to have to do the same in anyone else's house myself either.

I have no doubt that I will be branded disgusting and vile for saying this, but I don't really care. I am a bog brush fan.

Yes! And the irony being those that won't do it actually despoiled said pure toilet water with their own effluence first! I mean... flush once, sort out streaks with a wad of paper (not unlike the one you already used to wipe your own bummy bum bum) and then flush that too and wash your hands thoroughly.

You made the mess- you clean it up 🤷‍♀️ obviously 😂

🙈🙈🙈 you'd never be welcome round my house again if you left skid marks in my toilet. Proper grim that, your poor friend!

Haha

Is this about scraping your own shit stains off the bottom of the toilet bowl in someone else’s house?

I have never done this or ever worried about it

I would just wipe with toilet tissue

I’ve always wondered how the non toilet brush mnetters clean their loos and now I know, brush is disgusting but hang in poo water totally fine - got it! (I’ll stick to loo brushes and bleach)

Hopefully you friend has kids and you can just blame them

Congratulations! I take iron tablets for anaemia and have unpredictable consistency of poo.

I would look in all the storage in the room to find something.
If nothing, I’d check in utility/cupboard under kitchen sink/cupboard under stairs/other bathrooms for bleach/cleaning products.
No way would I be using toilet paper that would disintegrate in my hand to clean off shit.

Do people really never clean their toilet properly
Flushing water out snd scrubbing nowl with cloth in hand
Do they really just give it the odd poke with a brush.
