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 ?

yes , do the loo last and then put it in the wash
loo roll used for cleaning = what a waste of paper !

yes , do the loo last and then put it in the wash

Although, yes... I do this sometimes.

We have a new toilet installed every week. HTH

Same cloth, toilet last boil wash straight afterwards.

Spray toilet with antibac whatever, leave for required contact time, wipe with loo roll and flush.

Blue for the loo, pink for the sink!

Blues for loos Pinks for sinks

Came on to say the exact same thing! My DM taught me that from and early age 😀

Yeah, I like to clean, then rinse the cloth and wipe again, I'm not going to do that if I've already cleaned my sink, so loo defo has to be the first thing cleaned for me!

Like your MIL. Toilet last. Chuck all the cloths in for a hot wash after.

Never been sick so even if its perceived as disgusting by mumsnet it cant actually be spreading poo particles sround.

Yuk. Anti bac spray and loo roll. White vinegar, bicarbonate of soda and silicon loo brush for scale, which is fairly often given the amount of limescale generated in this area.

Different cloths. Never in a million years loo roll or wet wipes. Ditto the toilet brush which is ony suitable for surface skid marks and does not keep limescale at bay.

Yes. I clean the basin, then the bath, window sills etc, then the loo.

Then the cloth goes in a bucket of weak bleach, is rinsed in cold water, then goes in a hot wash with jeans etc.

Use those cheap sponge scourers - clean bath and sink first, loo last and then throw away. Sometimes use the disposable wet-wipes (again sorry planet). I hope I make up for the environment in other ways but I suppose that's what everyone says.

I don't like the thought of washing the loo cloth with my towels etc. (although I'm sure a hot wash would deal with germs).

I only do a 'full' clean once a week so don't use a sponge every day.

I use a cloth for bathroom ( seperate to toilet) and for the toilet I ise toilet paper and flush after.
All sprayed with bleach.
Using the same cloth for toilet is grim

Toilet gets cleaned with wipes or a sponge that’s binned each time.

I am not having a toilet rag In My washer that’s just eugh.

I use paper kichen towel for the loo and cloths for the sink, shower and bath. I wash all cloths on a hot wash once a week with the towels.

When I was a chambermaid at a posh hotel, I was taught for each en suite to clean the toilet last. The cloth was then washed at maximum temperature to kill the germs.

I use an old dishwashing sponge. Loo last, then soak the sponge in bleach.

Same cloth I use for my bum.

I use the same but do the toilet last and clean on a hot wash

I just use wet wipes on external parts and a toilet brush on the bowl. It gets changed regularly though and isn't used to clean skid marks.

I draw the line with flushable wipes, they block drains (our outside drain is prone to blocking v easily) or make their way to join one of those giant fatbergs 🤢

A few years ago they might have, but not any more. They disintegrate in water.

Gross!

I once saw my mother in law wipe the downstairs toilet and then walk into the kitchen and wipe down the worktop, yes with the SAME cloth 🤮

No I use a separate sponge and wear blue cleaning gloves. I also do the loo last after bath, sink and shower.

As most of us use fairly strong chemicals it’s probably not the end of the world either way, but I wouldn’t use the same cloth.
