Method
- Put on gloves and apply toilet cleaner under the rim and around the bowl, then leave it for the time on the label
- Clean the seat, lid and hinges with a bathroom spray and a dedicated cloth
- Wipe the cistern, the flush handle and the pipework
- Brush the bowl, under the rim and the waterline, then flush
- Clean the base and the floor around it last
Limescale rings
- Use a descaler designed for toilets, and leave it to work
- Scrub with a toilet brush or a pumice stick made for porcelain
- Never mix bleach with limescale remover or any other product
Good habits
- Use a separate cloth and gloves for the toilet, and wash them afterwards
- Put the lid down before flushing to cut spray
