Best way to clean the toilet rim daily for hygiene

My son has phimosis and isn't old enough to get treatment for it. As a result when he goes to the toilet he tends to get some urine on the rim of the toilet.

I therefore need to clean it daily as opposed to weekly, what would be the best way to do this?

Should I use wipes, spray and kitchen towel or spray and microfibre (should I bin it or wash it in washing machine)?

Urine is sterile so it’s not something to get very exercised about. A spray and a wipe with a bit of damp toilet paper is plenty.

Loo roll and spray then you can flush it away without worry. (Don’t think you’re spuopossd to put kitchen roll down the loo!)

I don’t know this condition- can he sit down to wee?

Cleaning spray and whatever type of cloth you usually use then into the washing machine. It’s no different to washing re-useable nappies or clothes they’ve had an accident in. No need to give it lots of thought.

Urine is not sterile.

Antibac spray and white/blue roll in my experience. Much cheaper and better than wipes. Bin in bathroom ao you can bin the paper right away.
You can buy them quite cheaply especially if you look at some shops which cater to businesses
