10 Things You Need To Know About Cleaning Your Toilet

Thank you for modeling how to speak to people who disagree with you online (re: washing a toilet seat in the tub) while holding your ground. Very classy and professional. I hope you do very well!

Your enthusiasm about cleaning a toilet is amazing

I'm glad you mentioned drying the toilet brush before storing it. Not only does it help prevent mold and mildew, it keeps the brush holder from getting funk all over it. I give my brush a good spray with Lysol and let it air dry as you showed, resting between the seat and porcelain.

You helped me clean my bathroom for the first time in my first apartment! Thank you!

This is actually the best toilet cleaning video i have seen yet on Youtube.As a 52 year old guy who lives alone im always looking at new ways to improve my house and knowledge..Thanks ,great video.

One thing not mentioned is your water jets can get clogged over time. The best way to clean those is to add some white vinegar to the tank, after 3-5 flushes with vinegar all that grime around the top of the bowl should be gone

what is my life come too I'm sitting here watching a damn video about cleaning a toilets I’m getting old

5:38 or if your wearing a hoodie, do NOT keep your cell in the front pocket, as it may fall into the toilet😂

My dad was a janitor, and during my teens, I went with him on weekends to do his jobs. One of my responsibilities was the restrooms. We used simple powdered cleanser in the 1950-60s. I made a paste with it and did all the porcelain fixtures. After it dried, I could easily buff the surface with clean rags and bring up a shine. Today at home, I remove the toilet seats, take them out in yard by the drain and squirt them with a garden hose and an APC. I use my shower stall during inclement weather and clean the stall after. We used pure industrial strength pine oil back in the 50s, and a few drops in each bowl and sink drain would clear all odor from the place.

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.

If I were ever at your house I would be afraid to use the bathroom and ruin your masterpiece!😂 Amazing job though!

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.

The only thing that makes me hesitant about taking the toilet seat off is that we have a bidet installed which means just a little more effort in realigning things when it's time to put it all back together. Otherwise, great tips!

I'm a rookie bathroom cleaner - this was extremely helpful! 💯

I highly recommend “Quick release” toilet seats as you flip the covers and slide out. No screwing off and back on again - that’s too, too much work and would drive me crazy 😮 LoL

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.

I live in area with hard water. The best product I have used is Zep Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner. It's even better than Clorox.

Thank you! My biggest problem when cleaning toilets is the very narrow spaces between the toilet and the walls/tub or vanity. I’m not young anymore, and find it difficult getting down to get to the sides and back of the toilet, then trying to get back up. I think dry dusting should help a bit.

Yes on the folding of the towel. Thank god good on you for mentioning that. We have horrible allergies and this is tip number 1!!!

Funny toilet story… My college roommate told me this. There were four roommates. One guy just kept forgetting to flush. Finally, the others got pissed (pun intended?). They brought the young man into the bathroom, took a cup, dipped it into the toilet, and said “Flush it, or drink it!” They never had that problem again.
