I’m not handling the stick of the toilet bowl brush unless I’ve cleaned the rest of the toilet. Laying the seat over that brush shouldn’t be done until you’ve wiped that toilet seat down. And once the rings have started seems impossible to get out.

About 3 years ago I discovered The Fly Lady system for maintaining my home. One of the daily chores is the Swish and Swipe. It is a quick - about 2 minutes total - swish and swipe of the bathroom. I have a non-toxic and environmentally safe cleaner that I spay the sink and toilet with - I also use the spray in the toilet bowl. I use the brush and do the swish (similar to your system), and then I wipe down the seat etc. Then weekly I do a deeper clean - I pay more attention to hidden areas. Then once every 5 weeks, I do a really deep clean. I spend 15 minutes a day for 4 days in the bathrooms. I start at the top and work my way down. I clean the top edge of my door, the light fixtures, the tile walls, top to bottom of my pedestal sink, and a thorough clean of the toilet and tank. At no point do I spend more than a combined total of 17 minutes in my bathroom. It is spotless and a joy to use. It is also easy to do a quick Swish and Swipe before guests arrive. It is truly amazing how easy it is to maintain a clean home if the chores are broken down into small manageable blocks of time.

Swishing the toilet, especially the waterline, daily, REALLY WORKS. This is so much better than having a cleaning person come every two weeks. That’s because having a clean toilet and a clean kitchen sink has a positive effect on ME. I feel better. Those two things help me feel better. They inspire me to tidy and clean other parts of the house. The problem is that I get grossed put by toilets with rings! The one at my Weight Watchers center is the worst!!!

I hadn’t thought of brushing the toilet every day,. I’ll increase a bit. My husband and I brush ours a few times a week. I keep a spray bottle of diluted vinegar and a little dawn by the toilet to wipe it down periodically. I started regular brushing because our guest bathroom that is seldom used was being forgotten. I have found I can touch that bathroom up so quickly that I am not even missed. I can run for a quick potty break, brush the toilet and wipe down the sink and be back for my turn during a board game. 😂 It’s been so nice to have the bathrooms better maintained. Now to tackle teaching teenagers to do this in their bathroom. So far they don’t see the vision. I’ve had to pick my battles. 😝

Since I’ve only ever had one bathroom, I try to clean it every day. Every day I give it a quick wipe down and three or four times a week, I clean the floor, behind the toilet, and the entire toilet apparatus. Once a week I scrub the sink with comet and the rest of the week I spray it with some sort of spray cleaner and wipe it down. The tub I don’t really worry that much about. I give it a quick clean as needed but once a week I scrub with comet. So, I basically do what you are recommending. Lol!! I try to follow the Fly Lady, and she said to fill a toilet brush container with some water and some shampoo, body wash or something soapy that you either don't like anymore or you decide that's what you're going to use, and keep your toilet brush in it and every morning, take it out and swish your toilet with it. I haven't done that yet, but, I do clean my toilet with something every day. Where I'm renting now, sometimes the toilet gets this pink stuff on the bowl, so I spray it with Lime Away or CLR and it goes away. That's a on a need to basis.

I do clean my toilet at least a little pretty much every day -- but definitely not at the beginning of the day! I'm as far from a morning person as it's possible to get and always, without fail, feel my absolute worst of the day when I first wake up. I definitely can't handle chores then. I can barely manage fixing just myself up for the day. So instead it's around the middle or end part of my day that I'll clean my toilet or do any other chores.

Comet is a great product and if used properly can be used without harming or scratching tubs, showers and sinks.

Angela, you suggested the Clorox toilet brush system with the disposable sponges. I ran out and got one and even got a big box of refills. You indicated that you could use the wand to clean all over the toilet like under the lid, around the base, etc before finishing the bowl and disposing of the sponge. Well the problem I’m having is that the color in the sponge is such a dark blue that I can’t use it anywhere but in the bowl itself. In fact when some bath water got in the floor it caused the sponges in the caddy to stain the grout dark blue. Is this a new feature? It’s very annoying! Thanks for your excellent channel. I’ve become a much better and more effective housekeeper at my own home. Just thought you should know about the product you suggested. Have a great day!

@AskAngelaBrown 2 жыл бұрын

Hi TalkShowKelly, The disposable wand is designed for inside the bowl. You can scrub up under the rim but that is still inside the toilet. It's important to note that you can use it in the neck of the toilet near where you flush, but it's not supposed to come out of the toilet around the base of the toilet. The wet sponges will stain anything it touches. Another important thing to note is that if the toilet has be scratched by a pumice stone and the porcelain coating has been scratched off, the toilet wand sponge (or any colored toilet bowl cleaner) can stain those scratched places as well. Thanks so much for the feedback. I appreciate you. 🙏

There is a definite odor of urine whenever I walk into the main bathroom in our home and honestly, I don’t know why. I’ve cleaned everything more than once and used comet, bathroom cleaner, and even some bleach, but it’s still there. I took down the shower curtain and liner and washed them (since by now, I was washing down everything and anything). Do you have any suggestions as to what this might be and what I can do about it. Thanks so much and sorry to bring up such a gross subject but that’s what I’m dealing with these days.

There are a couple of really great enzyme cleaners on the market, Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator amzn.to/31gvETC and the other Angry Orange amzn.to/3pa3phm. Cleaning the floor around the toilet, the base of the toilet and the walls behind the toilet will help control these smells. If this doesn't work you may want to try an ozone generator.

Probably spends about 30mins tops on it all every day. I use set my alarm 15mins earlier. It takes about 3 months to see a big difference over the whole house and garden and life but a week is good to see progress! Good luck and you can do anything!!

Just because a surface has a coating that "repels germs" the toilet is still used in the same way as any other toilet, and it will still collect dust, pee, poop and flushing overspray.

My experience is that tablets in the tank can keep the toilet clean. I've also noticed that the rubber flapper plugs that cover the drain have to be replaced more frequently as some chemicals dissolve them while dissolving gunk. If you don't have iron or hard water or a reason to use heavy-duty chemicals, don't. I've known homeowners that just liked having blue water in their toilet - with no real good reasons other than the color.

You might have to do more spraying and soaking depending on the toilet, but, after its cleaned as well as its going to be or completely, you turn your water back on and let the tank fill back up with water, and you should be good to go.

What do you do with rings and build up that is already in your toilet? They were there when we bought the house. It is at the water line and even the stongest of lysol toilet bowl cleaner for lime and rust does not get it off. There is no rust, just the rough build up. I am guessing it is mineral deposits due to the well water, but nothing is removing it.

@AskAngelaBrown 2 жыл бұрын

It sounds like a pumice stone was used. Many people swear by pumice stones which CAN remove toilet rings - and if not used 100% properly, can also remove the porcelain coating where the water line forms in your toilet. Once the porcelain coating has been scratched off, you're down to the bare ceramic which will soak up any future dyes or colorings of any kind. So the next time a liquid toilet bowl cleaner is used it will dye that to be a permanent ring. Could that possibly be the case with your toilet?
