Although one of the most used pieces of hardware inside of a home, it is not uncommon for homeowners to neglect cleaning it as much as necessary to maintain an optimal bathroom environment. Cleaning a toilet is not necessarily considered a fun or calming process; however, it is necessary to keep it hygienic and avoid making the job harder later. Putting in the appropriate effort regularly can help ensure no build-up occurs from urine splash and odors are not able to accumulate. But how often should you clean your toilet and what steps can be taken to cut down on the overall need for deep cleanings? The answer may be more surprising than you think.
Toilets are often used multiple times a day for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, none of these reasons are particularly sanitary and the bathroom habits of the people using them may make the need for cleaning much more frequent. For most homeowners, cleaning a toilet once a week is optimal, although this includes cleaning not only the inside of the toilet bowl but also the exterior surfaces of the toilet as well. Using an antibacterial or spray disinfectant, apply a cleanser and let it sit for a minimum of 10 minutes to allow it to penetrate the dirt or germs that are inside of the bowl. After this time has passed, scrub the interior of the bowl with a toilet brush and flush with the lid closed, then wipe down the exterior surfaces to remove urine splash.
One major concern that homeowners might have is ensuring their toilet remains clean for cosmetic reasons. After all, no one wants to have company over if their toilet has ugly stains or marks inside of the bowl or crusted around the rim or seat of the toilet. Fortunately, most cosmetic cleanings only need to be completed as-needed during high traffic usage times or when company is coming. While not considered a comprehensive or deep clean, cosmetic cleaning instead focuses on wiping the surface clean with a disinfectant and sponge. For the best results, a quick daily clean may be required to eliminate potential mineral deposit buildup and urine splash that could potentially cake onto the surfaces.
In most instances, daily cleaning will take a minimal amount of time and requires no extra disinfectants or chemicals to complete. After the toilet has been flushed, take a toilet brush and scrub below the lip of the toilet bowl where water enters the chamber from the tank. If debris detaches, flush the toilet once more with the lid closed to avoid mist or other water from escaping the bowl before returning the brush to its holder. While this will not replace the need for weekly cleaning with disinfectant to remove urine splash or other bacteria buildup, it can help ensure that you are not collecting mineral deposits that will require a deep cleaning at a later time to remove.
