I hold on and poo at work, clean toilet at home.
beat me..
Oh poo hoo.
Saves on the cost of toilet paper plus you're getting paid too
nice. you are getting paid to do shit
Remember, if you are in the Government and in IT, every minute you spend in the loo, and you are not at your desk building some software that is eventually going to cost the taxpayers millions, so you are actually doing us all a big favour.
Just kidding.
On that point, I have noticed that most of the public toilets here (including at work places) don't have disposable seat covers to cover the seats or disinfectant sprays to clean them. It's annoying to see pee on the seats all over in male toilets. Wiping along just won't do.
I worked in the states for some years and it was common to find these in toilets. What's people's experience from visiting other countries?
Put toilet paper on the seat, you don't have to have a specially made cover.
So instead of spending a bit more on your water bill you're destroying the environment a bit more and costing taxpayers money.
In b4 negs but seriously if you're going to neg me please reply with why I'm wrong.
@Putnum:
They were talking about lack of paper covers, all I suggested was it's easy to put a couple of sheets down if they wish. Geesh.
Japan, Singapore also have the disinfectant spray to clean the seat.
Australia is a country full of morons where people are not considerate to fathom the inconvenience they can cause to others.
A can of Glen 20 should be compulsory in every workplace lavatory.
@CheapRichGuy:
Totally agree with you. There are people who want to take a leak, not in the urinal but in the toilet cubicle. However, they are so lazy/disgusting that they can't even lift up the seat. They spray all over as if it was a 🔥 they were trying to douse.
We have automatic toilet which washes down itself periodically in the Melbourne city. Not sure about other places.
Washes down the seats?
Also, I am referring to the issue which can happen after every person's visit to the public/ work toilet. Periodic cleaning won't help much.
Well they are essentially useless, a placebo, potentially leading to better hygiene practices (apparently some people hover over the seat instead of sitting on it which makes things worse according to this article)

Also interestingly using toilet paper instead isn't any good either.
Why would you clean the toilet at home if you poo at work.
Weekends must suck
Have you ever done a reveese poo?
Only go at work . Never let guests use.
You're creepy
I use the kitchen sink instead.
There was a song about that, it had the line "but I move the dishes first".
Same here. I use the opposite end of the washing up brush to push it through those gaps in the plug hole.
I just waffle stomp it 4sure.
i only ever poop at work
Paid to poop. I like your style.
Impeccable aim and a low-fibre diet
Try adult diapers
Pissing out the window of a 3rd story apartment onto passers-by.
Bleach. Spray some onto the bowl at night once a week. Very cheap, highly effective
Is bleach more effective at night?
it is, keeps the aliens away too.
I think he means let it soak overnight
This but a no no for septic sewerage.
How do you clean the water stains at the sharp contours of the bowl under the water line?
With your tongue.
Is it low carb?
Yes and gluten free
I've heard denture cleaning tablets can help, drop one in the bowl, leave for 30 minutes and then scrub. Have never tried it myself though.
I’ll try that tonight, I’ve got a shitload of denture cleaning tablets my grandma left behind when she came to visit
I just piss really hard at it and it slowly goes away. Works for skids too
Yea, that's how I do my share of the housework too… every bloody day I clean (piss) the stains off. once in a while though, someone makes a rally big mess and I run out just short of doing a proper job.
That's when I moan for one of my flatties to help, as all the required elbow grease is getting too much.
Put vinegar on toilet paper, stick it to the stain overnight. Repeat until everything falls off.
My hand fell off, should I stop now?
Swap hands at 500
This can be due to mineral (iron/calcium) buildup from the water. Looks disgusting due to the brown colour, but at least it is just minerals :-)
Aldi sells an All Purpose Cleaner (Rust, Lime & Calcium remover) which will do the job in clearing it. Probably can buy similar cleaners from elsewhere too. Spray on the stain, and leave for up to 5 minutes. Use toilet brush and rub a bit as well. It will come off easily.
The stains are under the water, like near the start of the S bend. I'll try drain the bowl and use the Aldi cleaner on it tonight. I've currently got some bleach sitting in the bowl at the moment.
Typically, it is only at the water line. As for the rest, bleach will probably do a good job at removing non-mineral stuff. If bleach fails, then your proposed method is worth pursuing. How to drain a bowl is the question. Siphon it off? :-)
If u can see it surely u can attack it with a brush? I don't have any stains etc on mine…
The brush head can’t get into the little crevice-like joined bits. I suppose I could drain the water and scrub it with a smaller brush like a toothbrush, but I really would rather not.
Hydrochloric acid - bunnings.
A bit of CLR should do the trick.
Had an old toilet, would not come clean.
CLR did not touch it, tried many times.
Hydrochloric Acid - 2 hour soak, flush - like brand new!
Do try CLR first, but for when that fails, call in the big guns!
Do it in the garden - kill two birds with one stone - excellent compost and clean toilet.
Was about to say this but you beat me to it.
And to save money on paper toilet use a stone to wipe off
And then use the same stone to kill a bird. Business done and the meal sorted.
Find a germaphobic roommate. Gumtree.
The lemon tree gets a good workout !!!
Never even taken the plastic off.
I usually just use some dishwashing detergent along with a toilet brush for the bowl and a microfibre cloth for seat/lid etc. Works out pretty cheap.
shower waffle stomp
Real pros unscrew the drain cover first.
I have a maid that comes every Monday.
Unless the skid marks are out of this world, they stay until Monday morning.
Go buy a large 2.5 liter jug of White King bleach for a few dollars and store it next to the bowl. Around once a day, before long periods of no use (before going to bed, before going to work or going shopping) just pop a splash into the water or pour some around the inner wall. You only need a quarter of a cup or so, but more won't hurt, but could be wasteful. DON'T FLUSH, but let it sit until the next time it gets used, you could also give it a swirl and a light scrub with your toilet brush to get it into all the fine micro-scratches in your porcelain. In the meantime, your stains will magically become transparent and disappear. A lot of those stains around water lines are algae/mold based, once killed off they tend to take longer to re-appear. For some reason this method tends to reduce or eliminate those fine brown streaks at the bottom of the S-bend where "non-floaters" tend to scrape when being flushed.
This is terrible advice, bleach exudes a poisonous odor, you should never let bleach sit for more than 5-10 mins. Always keep it in a sealed bottle.
He's not gonna be standing there breathing it
This is awful advice. Odors cannot be poisonous.
This is horrible advice, tell that to 5 million Jews in Germany a while back
@idontalwaysnotlie: the gas was odourless wasn't it?
Also I know the most lovely couple that were in aushwits when that was going on, lady is 89 husband is 91. They are so happy and greatful for everything, just yesterday they were telling me this is the best country in the world :)
But no doubt better than the smell of what created the stain. Chlorine is clean, at least, lol! Some Einstein tried sniffing bleach in a plastic bag once, it burned out of the plastic and they managed to breathe in the melting BPA as well as the Chlorine gas.
Painful way to skill yourself up for a workday, unless perhaps you are doing short-term labour on the sly, making barrel bombs for despotic regimes.
And not a good thing to go putting down your pipes, it kills or harms everything downstream, inc. just about everything still alive on our planet.
Carbon monoxide is odourless but can kill you if there is a leak.
bleach exudes a poisonous odor,
You exude a poisonous odor
Your mum exudes a poisonous odor
I'm more worried about the bleach splashback on my arse…
legit concern noted!
Isn't anal bleaching a thing with some folks?
The lemon white king smells decent enough.
Don't forget to add half a cup of ammonia in after for that extra sparkly clean.
Edit: On second thought thought I might edit this in case someone is actually stupid enough to try this. Don't do this, you will create chlorine gas
dont ever try to mix these two together..
I think vinegar($1.2 for 2 L )is cheap enough to clean the toilets
Get my wife to do it.
Not to mention that bleach (sodium hypochlorite) also destroys the ozone layer…oops
I use that cheap white vinegar. Fill a spray dispenser with it and a quick spray gets rid of stains and smells. I also occasionally spray some on my hands and feet to stop them from cracking. Works perfect!
I use vinegar with baking soda. Works a treat and environmentally friendly too.
Spraying vinegar on hands and feet, wouldn't there be the unpleasant (vinegar) smell? Or do you spray on, leave a bit, wash off quickly, then apply lotion?
would have thought Vinegar being acidic would sting the cracks & also dry them out ?
never heard of vinegar as a skin softener.
would have thought Vinegar being acidic would sting the cracks
To minimise stinging don't spray it on your arse.
Throw in couple tablespoons bi- carb and then a cup of vinegar. Leave for abt half and hour and use toilet brush to clean. This works!
