Toilet cleaning might not be the most glamorous task, but doing it wrong can leave your bathroom less clean than you'd think—or worse, lead to unwanted hygiene issues. Let’s dive into some common toilet cleaning mistakes and, more importantly, how to fix them, so your porcelain throne remains sparkling clean.
We tend to focus all our attention on the inside of the toilet bowl, but the exterior matters just as much.
The handle, seat, and base are prime spots for bacteria buildup, yet they’re often overlooked. As you clean, make sure to wipe down these areas with a disinfectant. Use a multi-purpose cleaner on the seat, handle, and outer surfaces, and don't forget the hard-to-reach spots near the base.
Fix: Make a habit of regularly disinfecting the entire toilet, not just the bowl. Spritz the outside with a cleaner, and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off.
More cleaner doesn't necessarily mean a cleaner toilet. Overusing toilet cleaners, especially bleach or strong chemicals, can damage your toilet's finish and the internal components.
