I tried that once when I ran out of regular bathroom cleaner and it took the paint off my toilet seat. Beware!

I searched the site and could not find exactly how a toilet cleaning is done. Besides the obvious-Outside first: top, sides, botton then Inside: scrub. I have read you can use toilet bowl cleaner, diluted to clean the whole toilet. One must wear gloves of course. Please advise. Thanks so much!

Ideally, every week. That said, life often gets in the way and I get mine done about every 2 weeks or so.

Thanks! I just ported this to a Word Document. Next it will go in a notebook so I can get on top of this cleaning stuff. So, How often do you do this?

If hubby wants to clean toilets, more power to him and just get out of the way.

I’d make a weak bleach and water solution (I’d fill a bucket about half full and then pour in a dollop of bleach) and then wash the underside of the toilet with a rag dipped in the bleach water. If you have a fan in the bathroom, I’d run it just in case of fumes.

Here’s a question for you – I discovered the underside of my toilet tank is covered in MOLD. So far, I’ve just been flapping my hands and saying EEW. What can I do to actually take care of it?

As an aside, I know why it happens. There is no central air vent in our bathroom. Flush toilet, fills with cold water, warm room, steamy shower – I’m not surprised. Just grossed out. Halp!

You can also throw your shower curtain in the washing machine and just hang to drip dry!!
