How to Clean the Toilet Easily

Cleaning the toilet is not a fun job for anyone, but it has to be done regularly for hygiene and sanitation reasons. There are ways to make the toilet cleaning go much quicker, especially useful for someone who considers themselves a tad lazy. Try the following strategies to save time on this unsavory job.
Use the right tools
A long wand brush will allow you to easily clean the toilet. They make many different types, and you may find that one works better for your particular toilet. Read reviews to find one that is rated highly on quick cleanups; try the different brands yourself.
They make disposable toilet cleaning wands that contain one-time use ends. These allow you to clean the toilet and then just throw out the part you used instead of needing to “clean the cleaner.” Try the Clorox 03191 Toilet Wand Disposable Toilet Cleaning Starter Kit with Handle, 6 Pads and Caddy, which is rated very highly. Some of these already have cleaner in them, saving another step. Of course it costs more money than using one brush, but it can save time.
Use wipes for the outside
Cleaning wipes provide an easy way to clean the outside of the bowl. Instead of needing to spray, get a rag, wipe and then clean the rag, you simply use the wipe and then throw it away.
Use the right chemicals
The right chemicals can make it much easier to clean your toilet bowl. For instance, if you put in two denture cleaners into the bowl the night before, you can scrub in the morning. There are a great many cleaners, and some work better than others. Try the different ones to see which is the most effective.
Keep it Generally Clean
Of course it is much easier to keep the toilet generally clean if you clean it regularly. For instance, if something spills on the outside of the toilet bowl, do not wait for cleaning day to clean it, when it has had time to solidify and possibly stain. Instead, keep wipes in the bathroom so that you can quickly wipe it up.
In general, you can work much quicker if you do not allow a long time in between cleanings. Even if you clean more often, the total time cleaning may be less because it is easier to remove stains and address problem areas.
You can clean a toilet much quicker if you use the right tools and procedures. The Learning Channel recommends using gloves if you will be using chemicals, and make sure not to mix hazardous chemicals together because they can make a toxic airborne chemical. The above tips can help a lazy person get through it quickly and with less pain.
