if you don't have a toilet brush, and hate bleach, what do you use on skid marks?

[addictedtosugar]

Sorry for the title, and no, I'm not the poo troll.
So I get the idea about no toilet brushes; they are grim
But I also get the impression bleach is much maligned on MN.
So, when DH leaves skid marks down the toilet, how do you get rid of them?
Currently he squirts bleach on them, but he gets through gallons of the stuff. What is a better option?

tell him to wipe them with a bit of toilet roll. I dont use our brush on skid marks, just to scrub the toilet cleaner stuff that gets squirted on when cleaning it.

why would you not have a toilet brush???
they are grim, yes, because they are for cleaning toilets...but only for toilets...it's not like you then go and clean the fridge with them.

I don't understand the hate on MN towards toilet brushes either. Everybody I know in real life has them

Putting your hand in the loo is equally grim. How do you get below the waterline?

Gesh get a toilet brush!

the below the waterline stuff washes away in a couple of flushes

Not owning a toilet brush is grimmer than owning a toilet brush.

If you are an absolute precious poppet you could get those disposable things?

Not in our house ilove poo streaks from hell!

Wipe it with bog paper.

Thread titles like this one = why I love mn! The question you would never ask your girlfriends in rl!

Questions! Tut!

Tell him to clean it. He's already wiped it off his own arse so can't see why he'd be squeamish about cleaning it off a flushed toilet.

WipsGlitter I read that as 'i love poo streaks from hell!'

What's wrong with a toilet brush? You don't have to brush your hair with it.

And what's wrong with bleach? Is there an MN alternative made out of couscous and a spritz of balsamic?

Just get a loo brush. Think of your poor guests trying to get rid of a skid without one.

ikea sells toilet brushes for about one p. get a toilet brush, instruct your household in its use, replace regularly. seriously, it's no worse to own a toilet brush than it is to own a toilet, in terms of ickiness.

oh, and quangle - the poo/couscous/balsamic melange? thanks for that thought.

I have a toilet brush which uses disposable, flushable single use pads. I don't flush them though - I bin them (which I acknowledge still isn't especially green) here

Meant to add - much better imo than some crusty festering brush coated in flecks of poo

Why are you asking how your DH will clean the loo? Get to the FWR board pronto!!!

I use a dettol type wipe round the seat then fling it into the pan before using a loo brush on top of the wipe to clean the poo. Avoids the brush getting loads of poo on it.

That said, I do find myself frantically waving the brush around trying to get the sodden shit-covered wipe off the bristles!

fresh skid marks can be wiped with loo roll.

Girly if you are flushing said sodden shit covered wipe then flush it before you use the brush.

My fucking toilets have a really deep whatever it's called space behind the rim that I have to clean with a scourer and my, gloved, hand nearly disappears. That's grim.

OP firstly, tell DH to clean it if he's made it dirty, seriously. I cured my DH and the then teenaged step-son of this when I came in from work after a two hour commute, went to use the bathroom, exited swiftly and hollered "which one of you left the toilet dirty and which one of you is going to clean it".

Then either get a brush and replace frequently or tell him not to use so much toilet paper when wiping it that he blocks the bloody thing. Because then he'll have to unblock it.

Bleach or cleaner in the bowl, use brush whilst flushing, brush is cleaned with the bleach and water

Well my family must have super adhesive shit, because flushing in bleachy water never satisfactorily cleaned a traditional loo brush (hence now using the disposable system)

I do sometimes have to rinse and repeat
