Dude... I had cleaning jobs for 18 years - NEVER thought of dusting the toilet first 😬 That 'moving wet particles around on a pristine white bowl' has always been the most annoying thing to me.... And somehow I never thought of dusting it first 😶 Thanks. Really. Haha - PS. I could've used some more tips on cleaning under the rim... In my experience, a lot of times there's a lot of calcium buildup there - particularly on toilets in workplaces that get a lot of use during the week.

@bettysue8011 3 ай бұрын

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.

I appreciate how efficiently you delivered the info instead of wasting our time with a long intro telling us all about your personal life and/or repeating yourself over and over. You delivered the information efficiently in a very pleasant manner. One spot you forgot: Wipe down and disinfect the side of the sink-cabinet that is facing the toilet. It, too, gets urine splatters on it, especially in a house with males who pee standing up.

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.

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 5 сағат бұрын

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.

Thanks very informative. What do you say to the other cleaning and disinfecting videos which say there are 3 separate steps: 1) Cleaning (Soap, Vinegar etc) 2) Rinsing 3) Disinfecting which makes everything..... Sanitized This video seems to combine the two cleaning and sanitizing together - which is sure to be better at cleaning and sanitizing than no cleaning or no sanitizing. Also, can I ask what video and audio equipment you used or recommend? I'd like to do some cleaning videos in my home and in neighboring bars , coffee shops. I'm good with an iPhone, but don't want to tie up all my memory on my personal IPhone. I have a GoPro Camera that I haven't figured out how to use - I think that 's more for secret filming of Chicago thugs and abusive cops messing with regular folks (Like me) I can set up a tripod and I purchased some lighting.

I soak the bathroom while I do everything else then i sponge everything and mop up the floor last rince the mop filling up the bucket in the tub and dumping the water down the flush one last cleaning of the sponge and mop in bleach water i let it sit in the flush and outside to dry... If I get a spill between cleaning everything is ready to go... Once a year I'll do the CLR and put it in the tank when it's filling up and let it soak... When I go on vacation i clean everything and put purple power degreaser down the drains and let it soak so when I come back everything is fresh... CLR/ purple the washer and stop it come back the next day and finish the cycle... After a shower i let the water run while im getting dressed and clean out anything that gets down the trap... Always free drains and nothing gets built up... If im boiling eggs ill put the water down the tub and if that's not OCD enough once a year i put the garden hose sprayer down the drains and blast everything down.... The inside of my plumbing is cleaner than most people dinner plates... For an additional step. Rain X everything after it's been done... RainX the fridge after a good cleaning... And if you're not going to be around or a rental that might be vacant... Go around the outside of the place with Biffen XTS bug killer... 😊

If you're using just a mushroom head brush, you're not getting the underside of the toilet rim clean. If you don't believe me, grab a wad of toilet paper, wet it, and wipe the underside of that rim. You'll be disgusted. They make flatish brushes that have maybe a 30° bend in them, supposedly to enable you to clean that underside. They don't work very well, or maybe they wear out quickly. My brush has a separate set of bristles that point back almost vertically upwards. It works well.
