Can MN settle this boring toilet cleaning debate at work please

[Factor37]

Very boring topic but can MN please settle this tedious toilet cleaning debate at work please.

I work in a salon. We all help clean up at the end of the day and we take turns to clean the salon toilet at the end of the day.

One of the girls I work with insists on leaving the bleach down overnight. Me and the other girl just tend to pop the bleach down and get stuck in straight away scrubbing with the loo brush (sorry anti loo brush people) and flushing. It's what I do at home aswell.

Mine and my other friend's argument is it stinks the toilet room out her way and she is not even giving it a scrub. Her argument is we are not actually giving it time to kill the germs our way and customers like to smell that it's been cleaned anyway.

It's only a light hearted argument between us. We are not coming to blows or work tribunal over it but the toilet room is stinking of bleach this morning. Who's in the right?

Bleach shouldn't be left depending on what toilet seat you have. If it's white plastic seat the fumes from the bleach if left down can stain the seat yellow. 10 minutes bleach and then brush and flush

Leave bleach overnight then use brush in the morning.

I wouldn’t leave bleach in overnight.

However, if the sink and dryer are in the same room, make sure to clean them efficiently too, as well as the door handle. Particles from the flush travel upto 1.5m so everyone who has flushed during the day will have spread their contents around. It’s one reason why single sex cubicles are healthier as the sink and dryer are outside the zone of fire! It’s also why I don’t leave my toothbrush out in the family bathroom anymore.
