    Hi,
    I'm a bit of a lurker, aiming to join in officially soon but for now i'm looking for a bit of advice. Has anyone got some tips for me - when cleaning the bathroom i find that i cannot get rid of an 'offensive' smell around the toilet. I've tried all different kinds of products - i'm not sure if it's the seat but i don't want to replace it as it'd cost me around £70 ( we have a square shaped toilet). Have cleaned this morning but there's still a stale smell if you know what i mean. I know it's a really gross subject but any suggestions would be fab.


    Hi Rachelkate,

    some suggestions here and here re toilet.:D
