Seriously, how do I clean a bathroom?

I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone in RL especially my mother who will never let me hear the end of it but having grown up in forrin parts with servants etc I was domestically clueless upon leaving home. Four years and one small DS on I have just about mastered most basics but for some reason the bathroom continues to defeat me! I look like I just move dust and gunk from one surface to another! How many cloths should I use? Should the one for the loo be ceremonially burned binned after use? WHY can I not get rid of the sodding limescale no matter which products I buy? Why is the inside of the loo under the water always brown no matter how I religiously loo brush it daily? Is it normal to get through nearly a bottle of bleach every time and still look like I've made no sodding difference???

Argh.

Before someone asks why he doesn't do it, DP is also clueless as MIL decided early on he was a useless and disobedient child who would never learn so didn't bother showing him any domestic skills (and he's bloody lazy and doesn't notice or care if he lives in filth Hmm ).

HELP ME.

You can get a loo block that goes inside the cistern which will constantly dissolve the lime scale every time you flush. After a week or so you should notice the difference.
Can't remember what it's called sorry, but I bought in tesco.

crappy it depends on your valve inside the tank. At my last house it was a rubber O ring thing that lifted up to allow water underneath. Those blocks released bits that get stuck underneath and so it leaks but leaks into the actual toilet bowl. A bugger if you are on a water meter Grin
