splatters of toilet water and cleaner. You may also want

kept away from areas where it could cross contaminate
with bacteria. Cheap brushes can also damage the toilet.

or cleaner during a good scrubbing. Protect your eyes with goggles and your

has become dirtier than the bowl. Using paper towels, rags, or
sponges along with a spray cleaner will get the outside as gleaming
as the bowl.

choice for cleaning. Use rags if you prefer, but wash right
away in hot water. Otherwise, go with paper towels, and
never use sponges.
