10 Things You Need To Know About Cleaning Your Toilet

[@h3l3nn3tr4m4i]

Thank you for modeling how to speak to people who disagree with you online (re: washing a toilet seat in the tub) while holding your ground. Very classy and professional. I hope you do very well!

[@cheyspencer]

Yeah seriously! I like the idea. He even said he cleans both the toilet and the tub so I don't see the problem. We're talking about a guy that cleans for a living, I'm amazed people are so put off with anything he does thinking it's not clean enough lol.

[@juanitanoju2984]

I found myself wondering why the toilet seat in the tub was such a big deal. Then said to myself is your seat that nasty and aren't you cleaning the tub afterwards anyway?

[@junevmarshall4156]

👍. I agree 👍 🙏 🤗 This 💘 is 4 u. 😊

[@donnajaemoon]

I see nothing wrong with cleaning the toilet seat in the bathtub. What I *DO NOT* do is clean my fridge shelves in it, as Brandon demonstrated in another video.

I'm glad you mentioned drying the toilet brush before storing it. Not only does it help prevent mold and mildew, it keeps the brush holder from getting funk all over it. I give my brush a good spray with Lysol and let it air dry as you showed, resting between the seat and porcelain.

[@djbille4283]

I highly recommend “Quick release” toilet seats as you flip the covers and slide out. No screwing off and back on again - that’s too, too much work and would drive me crazy 😮 LoL

Do you know if these work with bidets too?

[@djbille4283]

@@pinkiepingas Sorry, I do not 😞

[@iwillstom]

Thanks for mentioning this. I don’t have the energy to fight with the toilet seat to get it back on once it’s completely taken apart. Constantly having to re-tighten the screws is bad enough.

[@valmanchuksart]

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Thank you! My biggest problem when cleaning toilets is the very narrow spaces between the toilet and the walls/tub or vanity. I’m not young anymore, and find it difficult getting down to get to the sides and back of the toilet, then trying to get back up. I think dry dusting should help a bit.

[@laurenskee2665]

[@markmartin8211]

I love your videos! I use paper towels to clean the exterior of the toilet just because it seems more sanitary.

[@kristinebailey6554]

I recommend the deluxe American Standard brand toilets, flat sided, no snaky pipes, no ledges for urine and dust to collect, sooooooooooooooo easy to clean. And only about 50.00 extra per fixture. Lowe's sells them for under 300.00.

[@altereddogma]

Toto also makes a toilet like that. I used to have one and it was easier to clean. Unfortunately, we just had two American Standard toilets installed and I did not know the company made that kind of base. Bummer. Also, because I left the project to my spouse who did not look everything over before the plumber installed them, I did not discover until after they were installed that one of the toilets came with a porcelain-finish flaw inside the bowl. The flaw is in front of the inside of the bowl, a little to the right side (not hidden under the rim) and large enough that it is highly visible, so it Always looks like the inside of the bowl has a piece of gunk of some kind in it. Because I did not want to pay to have the toilet removed, return it, wait for a second toilet to arrive, and then pay Again to have a second toilet installed, I decided to just live with it. However, every time I see that spot in the toilet, which is multiple times a day, I am annoyed by neither my spouse nor the plumber bothering to inspect the toilets before installation, and I am even more annoyed about American Standard’s poor quality-control. I hate having a brand new toilet that always looks like it is not completely clean even after it’s just been cleaned, and/or damaged when we did not damage it, so I resent American Standard and the home improvement store I purchased it from for selling goods that should be sold only as flawed-seconds, not as full-priced, first-grade products.

[@chickadeeacres3864]

Dusting beforehand and also the sanitizing the brush and drying it by putting the seat over it - genius! Thank you!

[@booyaah82]

One thing not mentioned is your water jets can get clogged over time. The best way to clean those is to add some white vinegar to the tank, after 3-5 flushes with vinegar all that grime around the top of the bowl should be gone

[@DebbieTDP]

I don't have a tank, I use anti scale and elbow grease with a tough scourer sponge 😅

[@ZooZoo293]

I didn't know that, I'm going to this. Thank you!

[@cacatr4495]

How much? Add some? How much is "some"? Half the tank? a half gallon?

[@eronavbj]

My dad was a janitor, and during my teens, I went with him on weekends to do his jobs. One of my responsibilities was the restrooms. We used simple powdered cleanser in the 1950-60s. I made a paste with it and did all the porcelain fixtures. After it dried, I could easily buff the surface with clean rags and bring up a shine. Today at home, I remove the toilet seats, take them out in yard by the drain and squirt them with a garden hose and an APC. I use my shower stall during inclement weather and clean the stall after. We used pure industrial strength pine oil back in the 50s, and a few drops in each bowl and sink drain would clear all odor from the place.

[@mildredmorine745]

Try using iron out get at hardware store. You can use it in your toilet tank let it set for quite a while when first using it you will be surprised, pleased because it does the job for you. I leave it over night in my toilet a least once a month. It is excellent does the job better than anything I have ever used, like I mentioned it does the work for you.

The dusting was a good tip. Another one he did, but didn't mention, is to clear the bowl of water by "flushing" with a few litres of water (instead of the flush knob). it won't refill, leaving most of the bowl empty for a good undiluted stay with the bleach, so you need less but get better disinfecting.

Thanks! This was a great video; love that you list and link preferred products. The dusting tip makes perfect sense, and, as in the world of nursing, work from the cleanest to the dirtiest areas in that order. When cleaning the bowl, I plunge the chute several times so the water level drops. This way, the product can cling to the surface not under water. I like lemon Soft Scrub; it smells good and does a really nice job cleaning and polishing the bowl. Thanks for such helpful videos.

He always says it isn't necessary and they make are financially OK. Though you probably know that, I understand the repetitiveness irks you.

If I haven't cleaned a surface within a week (or if visible particles), I use a washable microfiber duster *before* wet wiping. Just never considered a disposable duster for "dirty tasks" like the toilet base.

Zep Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Nothing cleans those hard water/ rust stains better-- and easier. Just be sure to rinse well and flash a few times because it's pretty powerful stuff.

[@mildredmorine745]

Bye iron out at hardware store let it set it will remove everything if you allow it to set to do the job. There are times if you can leave it over night it will look like it was used not flushed because of the build up down in the hole in the toilet, also put it in your toilet tank to keep it clean. It will do the job for you if you allow it to set for awhile, it’s amazing cleaner for a toilet. There is nothing out there that is as good.
