Do you wash the toilet with the same cloth as the rest of the bathroom ?

[xmastreezz]

I was always taught to have a special sponge / cloth which only gets used to wash / wipe the toilet.

The sink and shower etc are wiped down with a different cloth.

MIL uses the same cloth for the entire bathroom.

I find that strange. How do you do it ?

Blues for loos
Pinks for sinks

I wash the bathroom first, then the toilet last. Same cloth. Separate one for the floor as the cloth is too manky by then.

Same cloth, toilet last.

I’m now starting to see why other people go through so much toilet paper.

No not even the top of the cistern. Use a silicone brush and then spray and wipe the rest with loo roll.

When you say you use one cloth and then wash it after - do you do just a wash with one cloth in it? Or do you have many bathrooms / somehow make up a full load?

What about toilet brushes. If you don't have one, how do people clean the toilet after they've gone ?

Depends on my mood. Sometimes I have some of those v thin blue cloths you can buy for about £1 for 10, I'll use those on the toilet and throw away. But if I don't have any, I'll use the same bathroom cloth, clean the toilet last, then put it in a hot wash.

Pink for sink, blue for loo

Tbh I just spray it (last) and wipe it all off with toilet roll and flush it

My toilet is not in the bathroom so it has its own cleaning cloths.

Yes.

But I wash the whole rest of the bathroom, finish with the toilet and then boil wash the sponge.

I always use toilet paper for cleaning the loo and a toilet brush for the inside.

Hahahah. I love threads like this for making me feel like a slattern. I use the same cloth for the whole bathroom, toilet last (though not the bowl, that is done with a brush as needed), bung it in a normal wash.

Toilet paper, soaking in bleach, ‘flushable’ wipes, one-use cloths, boil washes… this all sounds pretty environmentally unfriendly.

Well I use the boil wash setting for more than just the sponge. It goes in with the towels.

Ew no, different cloths!

Wouldn't want to be putting toilet cloths in my washing machine. Also think toilet brushes are very unhygienic. Disposable wipes for toilet, bleach to keep bowl clean for me.

I only use antibacterial wipes on the toilet

@namechange30455

Yes, but do the toilet last

Surely there's no need for a special cloth if you do that

Thats what I do, and all the cleaning cloths go into the machine each time they are used on a hot hot wash with a bit of bleach.

Same cloth, do the toilet last. It isn't difficult. Using separate cloths is just wasteful.

You do realise that the washing machine's job is to wash right? At a temperature that kills germs? No wonder our planet is in the shit.

I use bleach spray on a wad of loo roll for wiping the toilet, then flush it away. Have a scratchy sponge for cleaning the bath and sink.

Also the whole toilet brush argument. Yes I suppose they're unhygienic and trap germs, but don't you use cleaner down the toilet with a brush anyway? So does it really matter?
Unless you're all licking the toilet bowl on a regular basis?

What do you scrub it with the if you don’t use a brush?

toilet paper with antibacterial spray, toilet brush with toilet cleaner for right into the bowl (have got those new hanging toilet cleaner devices which are good).

I also sometimes use a sponge from bathroom which is going to be binned to properly scrub seat, under seat, top of toilet where cistern is and then bin sponge afterwards.

I'm just really interested what people use instead for toilet brushes after they've gone to the loo and left marks ?? Sorry, gross !
