What's the most hygienic way to clean a toilet?

[thirdhair]

Toilet brush or no toilet brush?!

@MrsAriadneOliver 😂 it certainly does

It's grey grout

Donestos - left overnight and each time you are out - nothing survives that

Toilet brushes 🤮

This is my bathroom cleaning routine. ( we have no bath)
First spray shower with shower cleaner.
Bleach in toilet. Clean sink and mirror.
Clean outside of toilet and seat with reuseable cloth rinse in dilute bleach.
Scrub bowl with brush. Flush loo with brush in bowl. Squirt a bit more bleach and leave brush soaking.
Rinse cloth in dilute bleach again.
Use spongy scrubby thingy to clean shower all over. Rinse. Use squeegee to dry off.

I bleach mine daily. I have never owned a brush.

I want a Loo Blade which solves several problems at once:

I actually have this as a sort of Poo Knife (also good) that does some basic cleaning:

and a standard brush that I use if necessary (but also a steam cleaner and borax).

How to clean the toilet

1. Lift the toilet lid and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and quickly close the lid. You may need to sit on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample soap suds. Ignore the noises from the toilet; the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash' and 'rinse'.
6. Get someone to open your front door. Check that there is no one between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand well behind the toilet and quickly lift the lid.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the toilet and the cat will be sparkling clean.

I don't understand how people don't have poomageddon without a brush....even if you put bleach down. Fuck me napalm wouldn't work in our toilet. All hail the brush.

I've got the Joseph silicone toilet 'brush'

Just get a new one installed every day. Doesn’t everyone do this?😳

What happens to your toilets that needs shit cleaning off them so much!! Genuine question - it doesn’t happen in our house!

Of course my toddler isn’t yet toilet trained so I’m sure that will change... I can honestly say that if there have been any marks then bleach sorts it. I’ve never ever had my hand down the loo!

Dam the dog is wondering why I'm exploding with laughter. If only he knew! 😂

Smash it to smithereens with a sledge hammer after every use and replace with a new one. Job done.

How do you clean the face visor/eye protection, boiler suit, and protective gloves you doubtless use for this task?

Sorry but there are shit marks that bleach alone can't get rid off. A brush is required. I can't be squirting bleach down after every shit with 2 little ones running about.

Bleach all round, leave as long as possible, give it a scrub with a toilet brush then put the brush back in it’s holder with a squirt of bleach at the bottom.

A toilet brush.

I’m not eating from the bowl or within the bowl.

I use a brush for the inside of the toilet. It sits in bleach killing all bloody germs.

I used rubber gloves and a cloth for the rest of the toilet, cleaning the cloth in boiling water after each use.

@stonesof is right. Nothing survives domestos left on for a good while. No brushes required (never had one).

To clean it properly, you're meant to take the water out. Use a mop.
Then use a scouring pad and thoroughly clean all round.

Or, you could stick a couple of loo bloo in the cistern to hide the evidence.

The skids my lot leave need serious elbow grease

I've so much sympathy with this. Cleaning mess like this works if, and only if, everybody cleans up after themselves at the point it is needed. I'd managed to introduce this as a household rule but now we're looking after ill friends and family who can't do this other people are taking it as an opportunity to stop cleaning up and implicitly leaving it to look like the people with a 'free pass' are to blame. Some people have neither self-respect nor consideration for others.

Exactly.

Plus how much bleach are these people using? It can't be good for them or the environment.

Just listen to you lot you savage pack of germ murderers

That’s how I clean our loos too TwelveThirtyTwo, and they’re always clean, although DH has taken some training to get him to remember to squirt bleach after he has been!

No bleach or brush here.

We manage to survive.

you savage pack of germ murderers

It's my potty and I'll slay if I want to
( Slay if I want to, slay if I want to )
You should slay too, when you clean up your loo

Zoflora goes in the loo bowl a smidge
But post the buff up and shine
First brush round skid marks and wipe
With a cloth scented with pine.
