Regular cleaning prevents small amounts of residue from becoming a much bigger problem.
Scrub the Waterline
The waterline is often one of the first places you’ll notice discoloration or mineral buildup.
A toilet brush can help keep this
area under control.
Clean the Seat and Exterior
Don’t forget the parts you touch most often.
Clean the seat, lid, flush handle, tank exterior, and surrounding surfaces with appropriate household cleaners.
Keep the Bathroom Ventilated
Good ventilation helps reduce excess moisture and makes the bathroom feel noticeably fresher.
If you have an exhaust fan, use it during and after showers when appropriate.
Deal With Problems Early
A toilet that flushes poorly, drains slowly, rocks at the base, or repeatedly develops clogs shouldn’t simply be treated with another cleaning hack.
Those
can be signs of an underlying problem.
