Step 1: Start With a Flush
Before getting into it, flush the toilet to remove any loose debris. It also helps prep the bowl for the cleaning agent.
STEP 2: Apply your cleaning Solution
Apply your favourite bleach or disinfectant inside the toilet bowl, on the seat, and around high-contact areas (like the flush handle/button, and lid). Let it sit for about 10 minutes to break down stains and kill bacteria.
STEP 3: Lather the toilet with detergent.
After 10 minutes, apply a generous amount of detergent inside the bowl and around the toilet. This helps loosen any remaining stains and makes scrubbing more effective. It will also leave a pleasant scent.
STEP 4: Scrub, Scrub, Scrub
Now it is time to get your hands (or rather your gloves) dirty!
For the inside of the toilet bowl: Use a toilet brush to scrub under the rim, and around the bowl, and down under the water trap. Don’t forget those hard to reach spots!
For the outer surfaces: Use a scouring pad or sponge to wipe down the seat, lid and tank.
STEP 5: Rinse thoroughly
Once you are done scrubbing, rinse all soapy surfaces with clean water. Make sure no residue is left behind.
STEP 6: Dry and Shine
Using a bathroom cloth, or cellulose sponge, wipe all surfaces dry. This prevents water stains, and guarantees that sparkle!
MORE TIPS AND TRICKS
- Use a toilet deodorizer to keep things smelling fresh.
- Never mix bleach with other cleaners—it can create harmful fumes.
- Regularly clean your toilet brush — it can easily become a breeding ground for bacteria!
- Disinfect high-touch areas like the flush handle and seat regularly.
Final thoughts:
Your toilet deserves as much attention as the rest of your home. By following these steps, you’ll maintain a hygienic bathroom that you can be proud of.
