How To Clean Your Toilet The Right Way

How Clean Is Your Toilet Seat?

Having a dirty toilet at home is the perfect breeding ground for hundreds of diseases. For those that don’t have a habit of cleaning their toilet seats, it’s high time that you should begin.

Every time someone uses a toilet, it accumulates dead skin cells, skin oil, and grease, which float off their body and sticks atop the toilet seat and ring. These stinky substances, which are barely visible from naked eyes, can wreak havoc on your health.

Often starting with minor allergies and fever, the diseases that accompany an ill-kept toilet is immense. It’s always better to clean it regularly or hire a professional maid service periodically to take care of it for you.

Having good cleaning habits will always work in your favor, especially if you have kids. They alone bring all kinds of germs home from school.

Don’t Scour Toilet Seats



One of the easiest and simplest ways of not letting the toilet become an active source of germs is to clean them on a daily or weekly basis. Not all of us have the time to spend hours cleaning our toilets, but maintaining a daily routine makes things quick and easy.

You can also try using toilet liners, which are easy to use and throw away.

However, try not to use any scouring sponges or powder on a toilet seat. Extra scrubbing makes the surface rough and creates new crevices where the toilet germs can cling. Making future cleaning a tedious task.

Remember to check out best toilets 2021 guides for more ideas for a clean toilet. Also, consider buying a self-closing toilet seat, so you won’t have to worry about doing it yourself.

Cleaning Toilets With Baking Soda

Worried about poisonous products and your children? One of the least toxic cleaning supplies you can use is baking soda. It’s a fabulous cleaner too!

A box of baking soda works perfectly to remove common stains from your toilet. Take a damp sponge or a cloth rag and apply a thick paste of some baking soda, lime juice, and some dishwashing agent to remove the toughest of stains.

Allow the paste to rest for some time and then wipe it off using a gentle brush or a sponge. Rinse it thoroughly after using a typical toilet cleaner for a shiny, sparkly toilet.

Baby Shampoo To The Rescue


Another fantastic technique to keep your toilet squeaky clean is to grab an old bath sponge and some baby shampoo. Cover the sponge with baby shampoo, and run it across the surface of the toilet so that it creates a lot of lather.

Keep scrubbing and flush/rinse when you think it’s clean.

The same technique can be applied to areas outside the toilet as well. Don’t forget the toilet seat hinges, pipes, and the backside of the tank. They are other areas where germs breed quickly.

Get your sponge nice and foamy and scrub these parts to get rid of the sticky grease that could have been stuck since who knows when.

Live In A Frat House?

If your toilet resembles a gas station toilet, you may need some heavy-duty cleaner, instead. Using commercial cleaners should be done very carefully.
Make sure to follow all instructions and wear a mask. These toilet cleaning agents have strong dirt removing elements that can remove and kill the toughest of germs. Loaded with disinfectants, these will put a final stop on disease-spreading viruses!

    Great tips, we have iron in our water and if we don’t clean it 2-3 times a week, it just turns orange. I’m going to try some of your tips on cleaning products, it will be great not to use harsh chemicals.
