Cleaning your toilet can be one of the MOST tasking & unenjoyable chores, especially after not doing it for long periods. It helps if you clean your toilet more often to keep the mess to a MINIMUM & make cleaning it MUCH LESS of a chore in the future. We highly suggest cleaning the inner & outer toilet ONCE a week & NO LESS than ONCE per month so that your bathroom ALWAYS looks & smells its best. Below are some helpful steps that will ENSURE you get a clean toilet, EXTEND the lifespan of your toilet & MAINTAIN your restrooms/bathroom's overall cleanliness.
If you have just googled how to clean a toilet, you have reached the RIGHT SPOT, as we will teach you EVERYTHING & even suggest some of the BEST cleaners our company currently uses!
#1: Begin With Toilet Bowl Cleaner!
Start with applying a toilet bowl cleaner such as Clorox toilet bowl cleaner (uses bleach) or Lysol toilet bowl cleaner (uses gel, ideal for more dirty toilets). BE SURE to read the instructions as some products have different application procedures, warnings & sitting times. Let it SOAK in for around 15 minutes (depending on the type of toilet cleaner you are using).
If you're using vinegar instead of your traditional toilet cleaners, you MUST pour one FULL cup into your toilet bowl. Afterward, swish the cleaner/vinegar inside the bowl using a brush. DO NOT FLUSH YET! Allow the cleaner to soak for another 5-15 minutes if the toilet is VERY dirty.
#2: Clean The Outer Toilet!
While this cleaner SOAKS in, SPRAY the OUTSIDE of the toilet using an all-purpose disinfectant spray such as Lysol power bathroom cleaner & Clorox Clean-Up cleaner + bleach. If the toilet is VERY dirty, WIPE it down the entire outside with wet paper towels, Lysol wipes, or Clorox wipes & then toss them in the trash.

#3: Time For Some Elbow Grease!
Next, use a SCRUB SPONGE such as Scotch-Brite (heavy-duty works best!) to clean the grime & hard to remove stains or dirt on the outsides of the toilet. Pay CLOSEATTENTION to the base & floor of the toilet while you are in there. If you have a modern-looking toilet with a quick disconnect toilet seat, get rid of the seat, & clean it SEPERATELY for a THOROUGH cleaning.

#4: Don't Forget To Brush!
Once the EXTERIOR of the toilet is clean, you must use the TOILET BRUSH to clean the inside of the bowl. For the BEST toilet brush on the market, we suggest looking at Home Depot, Canadian Tire, or Uline. You DON'T need anything too special, but you want it to last Rubbermaid always works GREAT. We suggest replacing your toilet brush ATLEAST 1-2 times per year.
If you have those rings caused by hard water or still have annoying stains, try using a PUMICE STONE to get rid of them. Pumice works perfectly as an abrasive material to remove ANY pesky stains! You can find PLENTY of GREAT options at Home Depot & Amazon. Be sure not to scrub TOO HARD when using a pumice stone, as you can REMOVE the finish inside the toilet!

#5: Be Thorough!
Do you know the area UNDER the rim where water pours out? Since it is out of sight, most people don't BOTHER to scrub it. DO NOT be MOST people & ignore this part as well since this is where ALOT of GERMS & BACTERIA can build up over time. Use your brush or sponge to THOROUGHLY clean the FULL underside of the rim, being sure NOT to miss a single spot.
#6: Clean You're Toilet Tank!
NEVER FORGET to clean your toilet tank. There is a VARIETY of different toilet tank cleaner options, such as Clorox bleach tablets & Scotch instant cleaner. You lift the tank & pour in the solution or drop the cleaning tablets into the toilet & allow them to sit, then flush afterward.
#7: Don't Forget To Flush!
Flush EVERYTHING down a few times & repeat the ENTIRE cycle above as many times as NEEDED until your toilet is SQUEAKY & SPARKLING clean.
