Cleaning the toilet is a crucial part of maintaining a fresh and hygienic bathroom, but many people make common mistakes that can make the task more difficult and less effective. Here’s how to avoid these pitfalls and achieve a cleaner, more hygienic toilet with less effort.

1. Skipping the Preliminary Dusting
Before applying a disinfectant to the exterior of your toilet, it’s important to remove any loose dust and debris.
If you don’t clear away the surface dirt first, the disinfectant won’t work as effectively. Think of it like trying to map a space without sweeping first—it’s not going to be as effective.
Fix: Start by using toilet paper to wipe down the exterior surfaces from top to bottom. This step might seem like extra work, but it actually saves time in the long run by preventing dirt from being spread around. Once you’ve cleared away the dust, apply your disinfectant cleaner and let it sit for ten minutes before starting your regular cleaning routine.
This method ensures that you’re not just moving dust around but effectively cleaning the surface.
