Not a nice subject, I know. But husband and I disagree on this.
He believes that the blue stuff you can put down is the answer. Whereas I think just water and a hand clothed in a disposable rubber glove.
No doubt I'll compromise as usual, just for peace.
How do you clean yours?

Domestis and a brush, nothing else works. If I go to anyone’s house and the lavatory isn’t clean I heave, make sure I never use it again it’s an immediate reaction, my mother was the same so I caught it, difficult when out and about or on holiday as I have to. Seat washed with soapy water after being wiped with bleach on a cloth, that’s why my wooden ones don’t last,

I realised this was a really old thread, when I spotted Jamila's name. I often wonder how she is.
I got a very sad PM from her before the pandemic, saying she had Alzheimers. She was such an intelligent lady.😢

Plastic gloves on, spray seat and cover and all porcelain areas wipe over with kitchen roll and buff up.
Spray limescale remover into bowl last thing at night for it to work.
Every other day bleach down the bowl leave flush later. If necessary scouring pad get your gloved hand down throw pad away.
Works for me
I see brushes as a good source of breeding germs wouldn't even consider them. YUK

I worked for a cleaning company for a year after I retired from nursing. I wasn't allowed to use bleach in the toilets. I had the blue toilet cleaner and a brush in each cubicle. I cleaned them daily. They never needed anything else, and were beautifully clean. I've never seen the brand in shops, so I assume that it's for commercial use only.

I think it dissolves limescale, although it does look quite grotty when poured around the loo.

Yes, I much prefer a g&t to Coca Cola!

I use bleach and scrub with aged washing up brush then throw it away and buy new one one for kitchen sink, prob not very green but suits me

Coca Cola (or any Cola in fact) is good for cleaning the loo.

It's much better than drinking the stuff too.
