Toilet Cleaning: Preparation and Supplies
Supplies for a Clean Toilet
To clean your toilet, you will need the right tools and cleaning supplies. Make sure you have a good toilet brush, a microfiber cloth, a bucket, a sponge, and cleaning supplies such as vinegar, baking soda, and all-purpose cleaner on hand. Always start by gathering all of these supplies before you start cleaning.
Preparing the Toilet
Before you start cleaning your toilet, it is important to prepare the inside and outside properly. First, flush the toilet and wipe away all dust and dirt with a dry cloth. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a dash of all-purpose cleaner or cleaning vinegar to create an effective cleaning solution.
Step-by-step plan for cleaning your toilet
Cleaning the Outside and Inside
Outside and Top of the Toilet Bowl
Start with the outside of the toilet bowl. Wipe down the top and sides with a damp cloth and all-purpose cleaner. Use a iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth to remove stubborn stains and dirt without leaving scratches.
Inside of the toilet bowl
For the inside of the toilet bowl, use a toilet brush and a cleaner such as vinegar or toilet cleaner. Pour the cleaner around the rim of the bowl and let it work for a few minutes. Then scrub the inside of the bowl thoroughly and flush the toilet.
Cleaning the Toilet Seat
Top of the toilet seat
The toilet seat is one of the most used parts of the toilet and should be cleaned thoroughly. Wipe the top of the toilet seat with a cloth and all-purpose cleaner. Use a iZi-Dry Towel to dry the top and get a streak-free result.
Bottom of the toilet seat
The underside of the toilet seat can also collect dirt and bacteria. Wipe it thoroughly with a cloth and all-purpose cleaner. Use a iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth to remove any remaining dirt particles and dry with a clean cloth.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Avoid Overuse of Cleaning Products
A common mistake when cleaning the toilet is using too much cleaning solution. This can lead to residues that are difficult to remove and leave streaks.Instead, use a moderate amount of cleanser and a iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth to wipe away excess cleaning agent.
Don't Forget the Smaller Parts
When cleaning the toilet, the smaller parts such as the flush button, door handle and the bottom of the toilet bowl are often forgotten. Use a microfiber cloth and all-purpose cleaner to clean these parts and make sure you don't miss any part.

Advanced Tips for Stubborn Stains and Dirt
Removing Limescale with Vinegar
Limescale can be stubborn and difficult to remove. Pour a cup of vinegar into the toilet bowl and let it sit for a few hours. Then brush away the limescale with a toilet brush and flush the toilet.
Remove Urine Stones with Baking Soda
Urine scale can also be a problem in many toilets. Sprinkle baking soda into the toilet bowl and add a little vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes and then brush away the urinary scale. Flush the toilet for a clean result.
Using a Soap with Chlorine
For very dirty toilets, you can use a soapy solution with a dash of chlorine. Chlorine helps to dissolve stubborn dirt and bacteria. Make sure you dilute it well with water and wear gloves when using it. Then wipe the toilet bowl clean with a squeegee and dry with a microfiber cloth.
Cleaning the Door Knob and Flush Knob
The doorknob and flush knob are often touched and can harbor bacteria. Use a cloth and all-purpose cleaner to clean these parts regularly. For an extra hygienic result, use the iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth to wipe the buttons.
Tips for Daily Toilet Maintenance
Daily Quick Cleaning
Sweep and Rinse
A quick daily cleaning can help keep your toilet fresh and hygienic. Wipe the toilet seat and flush button daily with a cloth and all-purpose cleaner. Flush the toilet bowl and use the toilet brush to remove any stains immediately.
Use of Air Fresheners
To keep your toilet fresh every day, you can use air fresheners. Place a toilet block in the bowl or use a spray to neutralize unwanted odors. This ensures that your toilet always smells fresh.
Weekly Deep Cleaning
Inside and Outside of the Pot
In addition to daily cleaning, it is important to perform a thorough cleaning weekly. Use an all-purpose cleaner and a microfiber cloth to clean the inside and outside of the toilet bowl. Don't forget to clean the flush button, door handle, and other touched surfaces.
Disinfecting the Toilet Brush
The toilet brush itself should also be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Soak the brush in a bucket of warm water with a dash of bleach for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly afterwards and let the brush dry.
