    I also now use those Toilet Duck* "blobs" of cleaner stuck onto the inside.

    However, either the bowl or my bum isn't ... how can I put this kindly? ... well designed, so it also needs the toilet brush - trying very hard not to also remove the blob of cleaner.

    * Not so much a lounge lizard, more a toilet duck?
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)
  • Erm... When I think it needs it!


    A 1-adult household though, so any dirty is my own!
    Because it's fun to have money!

    Wiped down three times a week minimum, toilet duck and brush at same time. Also sprayed all over with a commercial bactericide that works in 60 seconds and dries at least every other day.

    Always give the guest loo a clean before visitors if I'm expecting them.

    Use harpic white once a week on a Friday night usually and leave till morning.

    I freak out that I'm not really doing it enough and once lo starts using it I'm sure I'll be doing it twice a day. X
  • A general spray and wipe every day and a proper good scrub under rim around base etc once a week :)

  • OMG I feel so dirty ! ;)

    Bleach round/under rim once a week. Wipe round seat/lid if needed or at least once a week with antibac wipes.

    No scrubbing here.... Cant abide bog brushes - have seen some horrors in some peoples bathrooms all brown and gruesome :eek:

  • Give it a good clean twice a week and a wipe as and when necessary.
  • mind you they do say that there are more germs on our chopping boards than in our loos....

    maybe the question should be how often do you clean your chopping board ! or

    do you make sure you put the lid down before flushing? I insist on this as remember seeing this on a Kim and Aggie programme.... Did you know when you flush germs travel 6 feet or more :eek:
