A person I know says (in his words) "I chucked our toilet brush out ages ago"
He the went on to say, the *toilet* "It is cleaned with bleach, bathroom cleaner and disinfectant using kitchen roll. Gloves are worn and disposed of."
Does anyone else go through this regime every time they do a No.2?
I think it is verging on OCD behaviour. He thinks not.
Opinions?
The cleaning regime seems fair enough - toilet brushed are natural breeding grounds for disease. Dip them in s*it then keep them in a tub? Not the most hygenic.
Using that regime every day (or more than once a day) does semm a bit OTT.
Thanks for your reply.
Nope. Just once a lifetime whether it needs it or not. ;-)

Bleach is useless for cleaning toilets.
Bollocks.

because...
Good for cleaning your bollocks!!?
What would you use bleach for Bod? Or, don't you buy it?
Don't buy it nor need it. Before you say it, our loo is sparkling clean.
It's also useless for cleaning those. And painful I suspect.
The inside of a WC is a smooth, glazed surface, which makes it very difficult for soiling to stick to. A detergent & a brush will shift any residues.
Problem occurs in hard water areas of limescale (a rough surface) building up, giving the dirt somewhere to lodge & bacteria to multiply.
Bleach kills the bacteria (until next use) and removes the discoloration, but it doesn't remove the limescale - so the cycle continues.
All you need to keep a toilet clean & hygienic is regular use of a mild detergent & a brush and periodic application of a limescale remover.
Totally agreed. That's exactly what we do.
And while we are on the subject, the lifting of the toilet seat does concern me. This is a surface that falls into TMH's category of a rough surface and yet every time I have a pee I am expected to lift it and then drop it back down.
Nah, once a year whether it needs it or not.
Yup agree, I mean it must depend on how messy you are I guess, if its that bad maybe he needs to see a doctor!

I don't do that *ever*
And I'm surprised that Bill still has the agility to climb up on the worktop to.

The trick is to make sure you use someone else's sink.
Although if you are a bottle blond, may help make the collar match the cuffs ;-)
Is the kitchen roll also disposed of, or does that get washed, dried, and re-used?
