@@rbeck3200tb40 Yes, that's what I'd do. You can get pretty good, heavy duty ones for less than $20 each at home depot. The porcelain itself can be cleaned up easily, unless the previous owners were really disgusting and never cleaned the thing. I'd much rather buy a new washer and dryer than a new toilet, again, unless it's stained beyond ability to clean. All of your clothes, bath and dish towels, baby stuff, etc have to go in the wash and who knows what people had or threw in there before you. Eww, cooties! Plus, in my experience, most people don't air out their machines or they forget wet stuff in there for days and the machines get mildewy and smelly, and then that nastiness will get into your stuff. You can't just close the lid on the dang thing after using it, it's wet in there, air it out for several hours first for goodness sake. And ventilate, that goes for everything in the house that gets damp, every machine and room, leave doors ajar, open windows, and use fans.

A bad toilet experience: when I was a cleaner, I cleaned a toilet that had never been cleaned at the back of it (or at all) for years and years. They had moved out and I was hired by the landlords. It was all black! I had bleached the hell out of it, made myself wheez and cry, have bad lungs, but it was white by the end of it! I still show people the before and after photo!

[@Lelouchie]

Should you clean all the way behind the toilet too?

[@awalton9024]

2 more tips. A plunger doesn't always work to lower the bowl water level, or worse can pull stuff back in. As an alternative, pour a bucket of water in the bowl which (counter-intuitively) lowers the water level. Also, the toilet in the video is not calked around the base. It's an easy DIY job that makes cleaning easier and prevents all sorts of nastiness from dwelling in that crevice.

[@lionintu]

I agree caulk around the base

[@lionintu]

Agree also about pouring water into the toilet rather than plunging

[@sextusempiricus7913]

um..........I don't think you want to do that. This area should remain DRY. If it's wet you have a problem. this is why they don't caulk there.. If you see moisture around the base you have a little problem.

[@lionintu]

@@sextusempiricus7913 I never have moisture sitting around the base. Thats not the reason for caulking it. Its caulked to create a seamless look. Its dry. The only reason it would be wet is if the toilet isn't mounted properly.

Yes, I noticed no caulk.. good comment

I realised what was about to happen and opened my mouth to shout 'OH NO!' just before the twisty thing uncoiled at speed and sent the nasty contents of the clogged toilet spraying through the air. It splattered everywhere, including me. It's essential to my sanity that I believe I managed to close my mouth before it hit.

Disinfecting-all-purpose cleaner? Your all-purpose cleaners usually involve only water and soap. Did you add alcohol for this one? Or was it just a disinfectant with water and alcohol?

[@AgaMonsterBitch]

soap water is actually just as effective as disinfection. that's why washing your hands with soap for half a minute is enough to kill all (not 100%, but close to) germs, bacteria, viruses. that's also why doctors and scrub nurses wash their hands and arms with soap and water for a few minutes, it does the same work as disinfectants, but it doesn't dry out one's skin too much. ☺

Same question here. I don’t see a DIY in your channel for a disinfectant all purpose cleaner combo. Need clarification. @cleanmyspace

I went in to clean a bathroom and found someone had left me several presents in the bathtub. a pile of crap..and a dirty tampon. as if that wasn't enuff they also dropped a #2 in the toilet and didn't flush but managed to strew dirty toilet paper everywhere.

A tip for thorough cleansing of the toilet seat: it comes off, and many of them come apart (lid, seat, 2 hinge pieces) You can soak it in a cleaning solution since they're all the same high quality plastic - no exposed metal to corrode or if there is, it's probably brass and thus very corrosion resistant. Takes a fair bit longer, but if you have time for passive cleaning and don't want to scrub, you have that option.

Since you mentioned the German toilet cleaning ladies and gentlemen: I was always wondering why your toilet brushes don't have that little thing on the side that makes cleaning under the rim super easy. Plus, I always get the toilet brush holder where the brush is in suspension so it can always drip dry. Is this a German thing? Are we obsessed with clean toilets? :-)

[@MissVasques]

Cleaning the toilet is quite easy, the oven on the other hand. It doesn’t get cleane weakly, more monthly or less. Because it has to cool down then it is forgotten. It needs rougher cleaning things to get clean and then you need to be extra meticilous to make sure all chemicals etc. are completely gone. So next Time I am using the oven the food won’t be tainted. Getting some rubber gloves to specifically use for the oven helped a bit. I dream of getting something like the H20 steam mop to hopefully clean quickly and chemical-free.

I'm so happy that in my house I have rimeless wall-mounted toilets - it makes cleaning them so much easier! I honestly hated cleaning toilets base in rented flats. Getting on your knees to properly clean behind it was the worst >.

[@themanwhoknewtoomuch6667]

My mother suffers from OCD. She is 60+ years old. She wakes up every morning and cleans the toilet. Talk about Spartan way of eating the frog first thing in the morning. And I f***in hate that. lol

Funniest toilet story for me was using the public toilets in Santorini. I couldn't figure out how to turn on the tap for hand washing. There was none, so I tried the swipe underneath thinking it was a motion sensored one, nope. Turns out there was a button on the floor I had to step on to make the water run. No wonder I was getting funny looks waving my hands madly at the basin 😂😂😂

If you have trouble with regular paper towels not holding up to cleaning then give blue shop towels a try. They are a little more expensive so try to get them when they are on sale. They are usually lintless too so make for a good towel to clean glass and mirrors. These towels are made of paper, not cloth or microfibers.

Working retail. My manager found me and asked (told) me to clean the woman's room. She knew I didn't have the nerve too say no. Some one had bent over in front of the toilet, took aim, and exploded! There was "stuff" on the wall two feet above the toilet, all over the tank, bowel and floor. Had to start with a mop on the wall and work down. Made the co-op student help. That was twenty years ago and I still don't under stand the physics behind that mess. 🚽😝

I had a similar situation with my dog. I had fallen asleep on the couch and she had stomach upset and it literally looked like somebody had sprayed poo everywhere. the dog is 10 in tall and it was eye level on the wall and I'm 5 foot 4 I'm almost sorry I missed it

When I bought my house about 2 years ago the underside of the white toilet seat was stained a brown yellowish color. It looked disgusting! I thoroughly cleaned and disinfected it but the stains remained. I had a new toilet installed about 4 months ago and unfortunately the same type of stain is beginning to form despite it's being cleaned almost daily. I've tried everything. Melissa and/or members of the CMS community, do you a solution? Thanks for your videos which are so helpful. I love your recipes for making our own cleaning products. Happy late Spring cleaning!

[@HallowqueenCrafting]

Sounds like rust stains from hard water. I'm not sure how you'd fix that, but I'm sure a google search could help.

[@eleanorberryman5003]

It is from iron in the water. There are special products for it.

[@lizabethma6363]

You can use products sometimes. Other times the finish is actually eaten away from the seat by the ammonia in urine or bad cleaning. You can purchase replacement seats for about $20.00 I believe. Be sure to take your current seat off and (if you dont want to take it with you) to lay parchment paper down and trace it. Also trace where it bolts on. Make sure the shape and spacing match when buying new. ;)

[@isabellelaval7294]

I have exactly the same problem. I clean the toilet thoroughly everyday but nothing works! I've yet to find a product that removes these hard water stains. It's especially embarassing when we have guests visit.

[@kuro.hitsuji]

I know you have an all purpose cleaner, but I must've missed the video on the *disinfecting* all purpose cleaner. Can you please point me to that direction?

For some strange reason I have always loved cleaning the toilets. My home's toilets, of course:) Thanks for the tips!

[@sheawineland1445]

My friend has one: she had a one night stand with this guy and woke up in his house in the morning, she was full of regret and extremely hungover and she suddenly was about to throw up so she ran to the bathroom and put her head in the toilet bowl n realised it was VERY overdue for a clean 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@64Biina]

This was a great reminder on how to clean something we use every day! My toilet story goes like this: I was travelling in a country in Eastern Europe BEFORE the wall came down. The toilet consisted of a hole in the ground with cement footholds on either side. This was for squatting only and toilet paper consisted of cut up newspaper! The smell was extraordinary and nearly made your eyes water! Blechhhh...........

[@theresafox2816]

Do you have anything on cleaning jet tubs I may have to buy a new one and this one isn’t old but the mildew smells so bad it burn my eyes ? Tried bleach, and the swimming pool bleach, amônia , pine sole , bathtub spray cleaners? Some work for a few days then the smell comes back!!! Help🙏🏻☹️😔😬😳

[@dianeo]

A thorough scrub like this just isn't possible with arthritic fingers. How about a video on cleaning tools that make the job less stressful on painful joints?

[@88Chelseym]

That might just come down to buying professional grade cleaning chemicals so you only have to wipe instead of scrubbing. I couldn't scrub off the stains stuck to the hard water build up in my toilet but when we moved out of our apartment our lease required us to hire a cleaning company and I could not believe how brand new they made the toilet look.

Vinegar and Oil Free Acne Wash in a 50/50 mix make a perfect toilet cleanser. Why? it makes it feel good to sit on so it must be a perfect cleanser. Use any kind of good vinegar white, distilled, apple cider. Wash all surfaces first then use in the water in the bowl.

How did you train him to do that? I was hoping I talked my dad into peeing like that. he's had prostate cancer and I told him it would empty his bladder more but he insists on standing up and he pees everywhere when he visits.

How and how often do you clean your plunger. I noticed you stored yours in a little container but if you put it in there wet every time wouldn’t it start to grow yucky stuff? (Especially after doing it’s intended job)

[@lisaylot5117]

[@TheKentuckylady717]

I dry my brush under toilet rim, then take fold up paper towel and put in the container before I put brush in...then next time I use it I pitch the paper towel....and use another one clean one for the container after I clean with the toilet brush ....nothing grows on it....I keep mine in laundry room next to furnace.... so it's bone dry ....don't like toilet brush behind toilet.....I think it's gross.....if I need it then I go get it.....no big deal....3/12/19

Please make a video on how to clean cat related items like litter etc and make sure home is ordor free of cat / pet smell

[@yviesunshine8176]

After years of having cats I finally perfected cleaning the cat smell out of the plastic box. 1. I make sure all litter dust and bits are out of the pan. I use a little water, make sure all areas get wet by tilting the pan, then I use a paper towel to wipe. 2. I scrub all areas of the pan with lots of baking soda. About a cup or cup and a half for a big box. I use just enough water to make a scrubbable paste. Then I let sit for 10 minutes. 3. I then pour undiluted vinegar into the mix and while it's foaming up I scrub and wipe all around. I use enough vinegar until the bubble reaction ceases. 4. Rinse the pan out and dry Go a head and put your nose right in there. I never smell anything. And your cats won't either. Scents from detergents can deter a cat from a box. For outside messes, I used dawn dish soap. Rinse let dry. Then I use a product called Zero Odor. I may have to spray and let dry a few times, but it is the only product I have found that takes the smell out. I have used it on my hardwood and concrete in the basement.

My most memorable experience - I was 18 and in Army basic training.

She would finish up by saying that she had a cure for that - scrubbing floors! That included scrubbing toilets with a toothbrush.

Every architect or designer should be forced to clean any prototype they design.

[@chantalalook2626]

Your suppose to let your chemical sit on the surface that you are cleaning for about 4-10 minutes after spraying it.. it depends on what the label says on your cleaner that you are using on how long you should let it sit and let the product do it's magic, so that being said it gives it more time to kill germs. I was a housekeeper for 5 years.

Keeping a water spray bottle handy that is set to "stream" allows a quick clean from anything that sticks to the bowl before you flush. Very handy if someone in your family is sick.

He stopped in the middle of the jungle a dark rest stop that you most likely are going to get murdered. I walked all by my self.Once I got close it was a luxurious and extremely clean rest Honestly when he stopped I thought I would be getting murdered or catching some disease
