Clean a toilet properly

  1. 1

    Cleaner under the rim first.

    Squirt, then let it sit while you do everything else. Dwell time does the work.

  2. 2

    Wipe top down, outside first.

    Cistern, lid, seat, hinges, base. The bowl comes last so drips land where you have not cleaned yet.

  3. 3

    Brush the bowl and the waterline.

    The line is limescale plus film; the brush plus dwell handles fresh, acid handles old.

  4. 4

    Attack old limescale with citric acid.

    A cup in the bowl overnight. It dissolves what bleach only whitens.

  5. 5

    Clean the brush in the flush.

    Rinse in fresh flush water, then let it drip dry clamped under the seat. A wet caddy grows things.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
