About this video:
Cleaning the toilet is an easy task. But if you run out of toilet bowl cleaner, it's still an easy task with this bathroom cleaning hack. You can easily clean your toilet bowl stains by using powder laundry detergent on your toilet bowl.
The lighting was dark in this bathroom and despite what it looks like in the video, the crevices around my toilet and sink are not black. It's just the lighting. 🤣🤣🤣
Some people have dark grout also. Not all grout is white. Grout comes in many colors.
Will this method remove a blue ring too? I have that and I have some bleach cleaner but the blue ring is still there. Right now I have laundry pods so I’ll have to get some powder detergent,
I don’t think so
That was a nasty video, No 0ffense**(The laundry detergent Hack in T.Bowl was good-2-know)your grout & tile behind your toilet is "Grimy" & black (in some places) you need to clean the floors as well with some kind of bleach or OxiClean, Vinegar or some kind of tile cleanser..🤭
What kind of germaphobe touches the toilet handle with her bare hand?!? We're revoking your membership! =>)
I used to be a custom picture framer and I have some advice about cleaning mirrors. Do NOT spray the cleaner directly on the mirror. Spray it on the cleaning cloth. When you spray it directly on the mirror it can run down into the frame. That will cause the silver on the mirror to erode and ruin it.
Nice tip. Thanks👍
Thanks Liz Cheney
Ty! 4.the tip!
ALSO A great,thing to use to clean the toliet bowl is DAWN dish soap!
Also! I use to clean New homes,after being built!
DONT USE PAPER,TOWLS
It leaves streaks!
Use that NEWSPAPER!!
Your hands will get a lil black! But No big deal!

Hello, I am a house cleaner and all I use for bathrooms is a teaspoon of tide powder detergent and a 3/4 cup of bleach with a gallon of very hot water. When cleaning stone I just don’t use bleach. Its the best bathroom/multipurpose I’ve used and trust me I’ve used so many 😁 this recipe is from Go Clean Company.
Thanks for the great tip. 👍
I use the tide to clean floors. Now I will try with the toilet bowl
Except bleach is bad on a septic tank. The soda is great an won't hurt septic tank

You are so right! Thanks for the tip on the toilet brush (leaving it to dry so as to limit the bacteria build up as well as letting it rinse in the flush).
I have a lavatory brush, but it's just for show as I NEVER use it. I clean "skid marks" with the tissue paper which is then flushed away.
My holes in toilet bowl get plugged up, and it doesnt work well, really hard water, what can I do
@@eattherich9215 what about the bowl? I want to not use my brush lol
Wash the brush off with bleach after each use
Put the toilet brush out in the sun for half an hour or so and the number of bacteria on it will be massively reduced.
One word. Comet. Good enough for us in the 60s/70s, good enough today.
I love Comet. And you’re totally right.
I use Comet and it's much cheaper than using laundry detergent. Note that they make an updated version of Comet that is lemon-scented that is more bleachy.
I do the exact same thing, only with liquid laundry detergent and bleach.. brush that all along the sides of the bowl, let it sit for 15-20, scrub it down.. perfectly cleaned toilet bowel !
That was some of the best advice I think i have ever seen - after 2 years as a Public Area cleaner - you have finally simplified my household toilet cleaning tasks! 😇
3:47, Using the lid to hold the brush, I never thought about that before, smart tips!
I do this already, the lid thing! Who knew!
Until a teenage boy does his number 1 on it and you dont know it, LOL
I’m more concerned about the floor around the toilet 😳
Same thought
with all due respect, me too....maybe it's messy grout but clean ???
Thank you and Yes. The grout is dark. Everyone thinks it's dirty but that is just the color🙄 I have considered pulling out the whole floor because it always looks dirty.
Me too The floor is filthy
@@maryeddy8976 Did you really think she didn't know what she was doing,
Tip: instead of using plastic detergent measuring cup to toss in the laundry detergent ( *powdered alternative to TB cleaner)...get on of the 2 pk clear condiment squeeze bottles and cut the tip off just large enough to easily spray powdered soap onto wet toilet bowl walls. Make sure to mark the bottle clearly with a permanent marker or label ----

I use tide bleach! Has to have bleach! I will never stop using this method! Love it. I let it sit in the toilet for an hour before brushing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You will never stop polluting the groundwater! ☠☠☠☠☠
Trying to leave something soaking in my toilets for an hour around my house is an exercise in futility. I have to literally stay in the bathroom while it's soaking or someone will come in and flush it. It drives me crazy because they always think I'm "camping" in there for a #2. LOL
I love using grout renew for my tile grout. Looks white and brand new once painted on.
I don’t have a toilet brush. I bought the Clorox wand with the sponge refills and I dispose them after use , that way I’m no storing a brush with dirty water in my bathroom.
Me too !! I’ve always hated those toilet brushes!
Me too! Love those
I have the wand, too. I couldn't find refills during pandemic so I had to get a toilet brush.
@@CatmommieKG Amazon or home depot
People put brush in toilet cleaner container
I pour a little pine sol in my toilet brush holder for keeping bacteria away and makes the bathroom always smell like freshly cleaned 👍🏻
I tried this and it became a dark green mess in my brush scrubbing holder and as well it seemed all over the floor and even the wall behind and beside the brush holder... also turned goopy and dripped onto the floor when I would use the brush.. so that does not work for me
@@moniqued9715your holder must not be water tight
I always rinse my toilet brush under the tub faucet first too!
But afterwards it always smell like someone crapped a pine tree. 😬
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus I haven’t had that smell problem I change out the pine sol every week and sometimes use lemon and sometimes fabulosa brand smells great don’t let it sit long dump it in the toilet often and clean that and refill with fresh cleaner of your choice doesn’t have to be pine scent 😁
I just use a bit of bleach to clean my toilet and it works great. I also just use baking soda to scrub my tub and water and vinegar to wash my floors. They get sparkling clean and I'm always amazed at how much better these cheaper products do. Most of the time any type of soap works if you scrub hard enough. When I ran out of shower cleaner I used shampoo to scrub my shower and it worked just as good as the shower cleanser I was buying.
Shampoo cleaning the shower? Doesn't it leave it slippery?
@@indigowolf556 Not the kind I used and I rinsed it after scrubbing.
Yes we r def being sold a bill of goods that r killing the planet when it comes to cleaning products. My great gram cleaned almost everything with salt, soap powder, baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, orange peel and a scrub brush.... she deodorized with cinnamon b4 vacuuming carpets n soda on upholstery .... her home was always fresh n pristine.
You are sooo right
Yes, the natural products are best for our Earth, therefore us
literally ran out of toilet bowl cleaner today after cleaning one of my toilets so i used this trick on the other one. it worked so great i went back and did it on the first one!
So happy to help. Thanks for letting us know how it did for you😃
This is terrific. I've watched TONS of videos with people applying bicarb of soda, lemon juice and other perfectly ineffective products. The closest I got was purchasing Barkeeper's Friend, which is very toxic and needs scrubbing like hell to have any effect. And it's expensive. So when I viewed this video I thought .. "Oh yeah ... here we go again..". But it actually WORKS. Unbelievable. I used some Oxyclean I already had in the house (Oxyclean is fantastic at ruining your clothes) .. but I think it has enzymes in it, so I figured, nothing to lose. Wow. Just did a brilliant job. Thanks so much for saving me a lot of money, time and EFFORT. I HATE cleaning - particularly toilets, but makes it so easy I might be tempted to clean them once a year - even if they don't need it. Lol. Thank you. 👍👍👍
You should spray your brush with vinegar before leaving it to dry. Vinegar will kill any bacteria.
Thanks! Great idea! I always dry mine, now I will add vinegar as it dries!
Spraying Lysol on the brush works well.
The tile needs to be clean also
Vinegar is my favorite cleaning agent!
@@AimeeAimee444 agree
This is not new you guys. My mother has used powdered laundry detergent and bleach for cleaning toilets since I was a tot back in the 1950s. And I did it for decades myself. This saves you $$$! ☺
Many years ago I learned a hack that if you had a different type of toilet brush holder would help to disinfect your toilet brush. Fill the enclosed container with a disinfectant cleaning solution and leave it to sit in it. Everytime you go to use your brush you just switch the cleaning solution out. It doesn't even have to be completely full, just enough to immerse the head of the brush into the liquid!!! Just a suggestion!!!
That’s what I do! And it makes the bathroom smell nice.
@@joannsanders242 exactly!!!
That has worked for me through the years.
Instead of wasting water flushing before you use the powder, why not just use toilet brush to put water around the inside of the bowl? Save water!!
Save water for what? If you're not talking about the bill, then save water for what? The water gets recycled.
I use Comet or Ajax powder. Works the same way.
This is what I’m thinking!
I clean homes just tried comet it helped but not enough
Comet will scratch the porcelain finish over time
Also less rinsing than w Comet
I'm not a gemaphobe and I'm not the best cleaner in the world., but I have a question. Do you ever use your brush to clean under the toilet seat? Also, that was a cool hack for drying the brush. I put the brush back in the holder. Then I pour Lysol to clean it. Then I just pour the used liquid back in the toilet bowl. So, I clean it without touching it. Thanks for sharing.
I use an old toothbrush to clean the hard to reach spots around the toilet seat, store it w/ toilet brush and pour bleach on them.
I would use a parmesan cheese container to put my laundry powder in for toilets
Now that is a hack! This video was not.
There is mold around the edge of the sink on the outside. Is there mold underneath the edge of the toilet since you didn't clean that area?
Much quicker and less expensive method - substitute cleanser ( Ajax, comet ) put it around the sides as the laundry detergent was spread. Take your toilet brush and do exactly as she do BUT you do NOT have to wait 15 minutes…. Or even 2 minutes. Does exactly the same job as her method but for less money and less time!
If you like the tile, but not the grout, call Grout Doctor if they are in your area. They will thoroughly clean the floor, paint, (whatever color you choose) and seal the grout. It turns out very nice.
I will look them up. My new home has tile in kitchen/dining/mud room and all the dark grout is coming out in chunks and strips!!!! Ugh!
"Robbery" What They Charge ! !
I wouldn’t do this very often…powdered laundry soap will clog your plumbing especially Tide!
Love how you pointed at the bowl and told us to "sit tight" LOL!!!
Toilet bowl brush drying hack is genius!!!
I always clean the toilet first because if you don't have the toilet lid down when you flush, all of the "bacteria" Sprays the room and contaminates all surfaces.
That would be the case with the old style toilets. The newer ones do not splash water, and in fact just swirl the water all the way from the top.
Short version: use powdered laundry detergent to scrub your toilet.
I loved powdered sanitizer flush or powdered vanish. They worked so well
Comet or Ajax will do the same and at least they have some chlorine in them for the disinfecting
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP WE USED SANI-FLUSH IN A CANISTER IT WAS A POWDER, IT WORKED GREAT !! ITS NOT ON THE MARKET ANYMORE.
It's important to wipe front to back to avoid infecting bladder. Also, when standing, be sure to rest back of legs against toilet or bidet to keep balanced.
What is that brown ring around near the lid?
I’m in the UK and if the water sat so high up in the bowl, it would mean there’s a problem with the drains!
The first time I went on holiday in America, I was surprised at the water level in the bowl. I fully expected it to overflow as the bowl refilled.
In America, we can still use things that flush the first time.
Yeah, I know right ! I’m in Oz and I would freak out if my dunny water came up so high. What’s the deal with that ? LoL
@@ucanleaveyourhaton It’s so you only have to flush once. You can adjust the water level as desired, but flushing multiple times wastes water.
Well we can’t help you here because this is not a plumbing show he need to call a plumber. What part of Kentucky are you from
Vinegar or pure uncut( not diluted) lemon juice does just as well especially if you live in zones with " hard water"... Using vinegar also shines your mirror,faucets beautifully. Remarkable on all of windows and glassware, shines like a diamond!!!!⭐🌟✨🌟⭐✨🌟✨⭐
Once in a while, I empty my tank and pour vinegar straight in it. Then flush and leave for an hour and scrub every inch inside and flush again.
Oh yeah and lingering vinegar smell is wonderful.
Amazed by the "squatty poddy" behind toilet! Never thought about using my Arm n Hammer powder on toilet. I do scrub my porch w/ it & it's amazing for white soles on shoes!!
Clorox has a toilet wand and refills so you don't have to use the brush. There's bacteria there anyway after the 1st use. Toilet bowl cleaner helps to clean the grout. I'm going to try it for my tiles and floor.
Baking soda and vinegar foam then take brush and go under the rim and the bottom of toilet and flush clean.
If you clean with bleach there’s no bacteria 😉.Suer chea all purpose cleaner.
I would love to see a video on the removal of build up around the sink bowl, and a shining of the drain hole in the sink.
I used Vanish powder when I was first married in mid 70’s. It worked fantastic!! But, of course, they quit making it. Why?? It was the best!
Vanish powder is on Amazon. Not sure if it's the same.
It was great heck can't find powdered dishwasher soap any more
I Loved Vanish! It cleaned so well.
Vanish still exists in germany haha.
@@terismith4512 Aldi
Why not blend the powder around with brush before setting? Wouldn’t it be placed more evenly than throwing it on there.
Oooh, your taps are PRETTY!
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. 👍
That was very light cleaning for a germaphobe! I'm pretty much the opposite of a germaphobe, and I clean more intensely than that!!!
Thx for the tips but I don't know how this is better than squirting the liquid cleaner under the rim, no waiting and just give it a quick scrub - also, much easier is pouring bleach in the bowl, come back in half an hour and just flush the toilet with no scrubbing - you do need to scrub every once in a while under the rim - great video
We use dawn dish detergent antibacterial apple blossom to keep our toilets clean and it works great 👍
What ratio do you use because Dawn is very soapy. I have terrible rings.
I'm into car detailing ~People need to STOP using those abrasive toilet type brushes and switch to either a disposable one or a sponge one. All those hard plastic bristle brushes cause thousands of micro scratches allowing bacteria an even better place to grab onto. You wouldn't wash your car with steel wool , so why scrub the porcelain right off your toilet. Just a small bit of bleach in the tank helps and a tablet to reduce hard water minerals will help with the ring in the bowl
Thank you!
Much easier to use the Clorox ToiletWand with disposable scrub pads as it cleans AND disinfects the toilet. Also, you don’t have to deal with those bacteria trap toilet brushes.🤓
I am frugal, but I totally splurge on those. Hate nasty toilet brushes.
It’s called bleach. Add it to the water and swish your brush while cleaning. Everything in the bowl and brush will be dead.
I use them. They also have enough cleaner that I can use on more than one toilet.
Just rinse the brush with Clorox and hot water each time
Reuse toilet tushes are disgusting. Use disposable brushes and you an wear a mask bec there is clorox in the brush.
Vinegar/soap and baking soda work great on cleaning a toilet bowl too
I use this. Less chemicals getting absorbed into our bodies that away.
Yep
Really I didn't know that thanks for the info
I actually put bleach and a little of my favorite good smelling hand soap in my toilet brush holder. Then whenever the toilet needs a quick clean I just grab it, let it drip, swipe the toilet, flush and put it back. No germs at all.
I can't believe that I never thought to just put like a couple drops of bleach or something in the toilet brush holder
Isn't there some risk? A guest or other might use the brush (goggle free, of course) and accidentally splash droplets into their eyes, not knowing about the bleach.
The vapors will put chlorine in the air. Long-term exposure risks lung and eye irritation..... *but also lung disease.* That's after reading Michigan gov fact sheet. The vapors combine with the moisture in our eyes *to form an acid, causing burning an irritation.*
Thanks for this! I am going to give it try.
Well you’re welcome and I hope it works out for you
You could use a steamer on the cracks around the sink
Nice.
I use dawn, vinegar and baking soda, then wipe down with clean cloth with soapy water and then a Clorox wipe.
I always use the laundry Pods and toss them in the tank every couple days and I never have the water stains .
Yep

Me and the boys just use ajax and dish Detergent 😂💯👍🏾
Excellent idea! Big like. Bravo!! ❤👍🙏
Kudos to you for resisting for us. I personally do not love anyone enough to go 2 weeks without cleaning the toilet. Id lose my mind. As long as i have autonomy and breath I will be cleaning my house
When cleaning mirror DO NOT SPRAY MIRROR DIRECTLY IT RUNS DOWN IN TO FRAME TRACK! Spray paper towel or micro cloth directly not mirror
If you have a septic tank it would not be such a great idea . Any thing that suds like laundry detergent causes a crust on top water in septic causing the septic not to drain properly. Cost about 400.00 to get a service ocean out septic. Just thought might want to know this .
I clean after going all the time and have a bleach/ blue tablet in tank. Clean brown w/ bleach/ h20 soon and Lysol all the time. It soaks all the time but deep clean once.
I keep Dawn/vinegar/ lemon dish wand in shower. Wipe down almost daily or at least hot spots. Maintaining is easier than soap buildup.
Agree
Thanks mom
You betcha 😃
I have used nothing but Comet... My mother and her mother only used Comet.. Does the same thing but cheaper and i also let the brush dry before putting it back in the holder.
Hi from Sydney Australia. WoW! I can’t get over just how much water is in that toilet ….. ⚛️☮️🌏
I use toilet brush to scrub around base! Yes it’s clean but it works
Letting it dry is brilliant
Thank you! I am going to try with an oxy powder. Can't wait to see results.
Let us know how it works for you
The package says there are over 100 used for oxyclean. Check online
Oxyclean needs to be activated with hot water first- so don’t miss that step. Dissolver in hot water then use it.
@@happycamper4ever873 yes you're right hot water kills bacteria and removes black stains
I only have liquid deterrent.
Will that work in place of the powder deterrent?
I'm sure it would
I use the blue awesome blue dish soap from the dollar store. Put some in the toilet, NOT the tank unless you want a Jacuzzi in your toilet.! Lol. Scrub, Let it sit 5 to 15 minutes to really work on its own and flush. Your bowl is clean, white and fresh. You get many cleanings with a 40 oz. Bottle for a dollar.!
Yes
Yes. Dish detergent pods also work
I use the toilet wand because I can't handle having a reusable brush by my toilet :x
If you use bleach, your brush gets sterilized. No need to waste on disposables.
Then you don’t have the faintest idea of going green, do you. How many disposable sponges will you use in your life time?
You need to do something about the grout on your floor
I find Oxy Clean works pretty much.
Just the brush by itself will get a lot of the deposit after only two weeks. Just use your spray on cleaner that you used on the counter/sink, etc to sanitize. I learned long ago to have two bottles of cleaners, when one is used, replace it.
I never knew about the Squatty Potty, I will have to get that.

just learned a new thing about the toilet brush ...also about the cleaning
If you’re single and have your own bathroom, a capful of bleach in the toilet bowl once per week, or after each flush, will prevent having to scrub altogether. I’m a single male, and live alone, and I’ve never needed to scrub my toilets. My biggest bathroom cleaning challenge has been cleaning the sink and countertops after a head and face shave. Hair everywhere!!!😅I want to add pics but can’t figure out how😩
Yes! Bleach, dish soap and hot water. The best no need for scrub hack
The easiest way to pickup hair is with your vacuum. I vacuum everywhere now
a really quick easy way to pick up hair on and around the sink is with a dryer sheet 😊 works like a charm! ENJOY!
i will give you a thumbs up after i try detergent in toilet. i tried everything else without help
Put it into a spray bottle and get up under the rim as well. Second, let your post-scrub sit until the next person uses the toilet.
There’s only one thing that can make toilet bowl cleaning better.
ICE CREAM
Was that an answer or do you have tourette syndrome?
Ice cream solves everything!! 😁
I will go try this cleaning method because we have two bathrooms that I have to clean everyday (the toilet)
Hey, I need help with a toilet, we bought a house and one of the toilets is so bad almost crusty. We can't afford to get new one rt now. So how do I get it clean?
pumice stone
Same problem
I use liquid detergent in mine. Would the same thing apply? I was thinking splash lemon juice with coarse salt as an abrasive.
Or...and I know I will get yelled at for this... Just use the toilet brush. Most of that ring will wipe/scrub right off. If you need a deep clean, then use the "cleaner" later. No need to use the cleaning agent every single time. It IS ok to skip that once in a while.
Not in my hard water area!!
@@carolynwightman4022 Same. Sprays and toilet brush doesn’t get it all off.
