Once upon a time, me on my knees in front to the toilet would be because I was hungover, now it's because I have 3 of the male species in my house and none of them have perfect aim!
Cleaning the toilet is the bane of my life and by far the most hated job in the house, I have even been known to tell my kids off for using it as soon as I close the door after cleaning the foul beast.
Now I have tried numerous air fresheners to mask the smell, but they all smell sickly and besides my hubby has a hatred of all household fresheners.....I have tried putting on a mask and entering the bathroom duel wielding bleach sprays and plastering the toilet area like a machine gun maniac, but the only thing I have found that actually works is to take off the toilet seat!
Once it's off put the whole seat in a bucket of hot water and disinfectant. As much as it would make my life easier I know that I can't actually leave the seat off permanently, so here is what I do.
Get some bicarbonate of soda and mix it into a paste with a few squirts of lemon juice. Spread it all around the holes of the basin and around the grouting on the floor next to the toilet. Leave this on for about 10 minutes then add a few drops of vinegar and leave for a further 5 mins. After this wipe it all off and rinse with clean water and VOILA ....like magic the toilet will be fresh as a daisy!
I don't do this every day but once every 2 weeks and you will never have a stinky toilet again!
