Tip of the week: Toilet tune-ups Newer-model toilets with shiny finishes are easy to maintain by scrubbing with the toilet brush for a minute several times a week rather than only once a week. This will prevent a hard-water buildup. Here are some other tips: — For regular cleaning, use a disinfecting cleaner, and don’t forget to clean under the seat, the lid and around the base. — Make sure the debris you’re removing from the toilet doesn’t fester on the brush bristles and in its holder. — After cleaning the toilet, sandwich the toilet brush between the toilet rim and seat, so that the brush head is suspended over the bowl. Spray with a disinfecting cleaning spray and allow to sit for a few minutes. Rinse with hot water and allow to sit until dry. — Don’t put the brush back when it’s dirty or wet, because it will trap germs in the holder. — Replace the brush every six months. Source: heloise.com
