I try to keep it clean on a weekly basis, but DH does a deep clean when we have our big cleaning sessions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46630 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:45:29 +0000 dvsmom 46630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do them, but recently I tried these in the bowls: <a href="http://www.scrubbingbubbles.com/Products/Pages/toilet-cleaning-gel.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.scrubbingbubbles.com/Products/Pages/toilet-cleaning-gel.aspx</a></p> <p> I am surprised to say that the bowl is much cleaner longer and doesn't need as much scrubbing as often. There is no ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46624 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:19:20 +0000 mrbee 46624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: Haha I was just happier pretending to myself that it was minerals in the water. :-)</p> <p>Now I will scrub the toilet more often, so I guess it's a good thing I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46622 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:16:38 +0000 PawPrints 46622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Ha, I think it's just the same stuff as the "soap scum" that develops in between shower tiles! I'd think that having changed the diapers of two kids, you wouldn't be so easily grossed out ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46618 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:10:37 +0000 mrbee 46618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I am officially traumatized! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46617 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:09:45 +0000 PawPrints 46617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: It's reddish/pink; I have never known what caused it, but your question inspired me to google it, and I found this:</p> <p><a href="http://askville.amazon.com/toilet-develop-pink-ring/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=1464150" rel="nofollow">http://askville.amazon.com/toilet-develop-pink-ring/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=1464150</a></p> <p>So I guess it's bacteria. My husband put in some of those 2000 flushes things in our toilet tank this weekend, so maybe that will be the end of the weird ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46608 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:59:11 +0000 mrbee 46608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: What is that ring exactly... please tell me it's minerals from the water. The alternative is too disgusting to bear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46600 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:48:21 +0000 leelee 46600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does right now. He doesn't want me inhaling any of the chemicals. I'm sure after LO is here he would be more than happy to relinquish that duty to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46572 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:18:01 +0000 PawPrints 46572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL @mrbee's reply to Rubies.</p> <p>The bathrooms are my husband's job. The toilets get a weird ring if they don't get cleaned at least every 1.5 weeks or so. That ends up providing a pretty good reminder that the whole bathroom needs it; which reminds me that I need to vacuum. Which sucks a lot, since we have four flights of carpeted stairs and three shedding pets. I just might trade him for the bathrooms one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46555 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:58:21 +0000 sulli301 46555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, every single Thursday! Unless it is week like this one where we have plans tomorrow so I did it today. I have a "chore chart" that I made myself to stay on top of all the cleaning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46554 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:56:07 +0000 mrbee 46554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46519 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:21:27 +0000 Rubies 46519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do and I HATE it so much. I hate the toilet. I hate it toilet so much that once when I was sick and needed to barf, the thought of sticking my head in the toilet MADE me throw up but I did it in the bathtub instead. Am I gross? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46354 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:15:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 46354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. My husband has never once cleaned a toilet. It grosses him out too much. I'm pretty sure in his bachelor days he never cleaned his bathroom at all. Ewww </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46346 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:08:36 +0000 Mrs Sorbet 46346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband does. He's pretty great.</p> <p>He's much more of a clean freak than I am, and I will go much longer without (deep) cleaning certain things than he will. So he just does it himself usually. However, I exclusively do the laundry, cooking, vacuuming, dusting, and other little things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46307 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:48:23 +0000 mynoahbear 46307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaning lady </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46250 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:57:39 +0000 heffalump 46250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our cleaning lady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46248 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:57:21 +0000 mamimami 46248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nanny/maid.

We have never had a house cleaner because we've never lived in larger than a 1 bedroom apartment, so it doesn't really make sense. It takes us about an hour a week to clean top to bottom, no biggie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46196 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:18:46 +0000 T.H.O.U. 46196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: This is pretty much us as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-cleans-the-toilet#post-46193 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:15:54 +0000 DillonLion 46193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. Ugh. So gross.</p> <p>I had a maid come once to do an all-over really deep cleaning. It was great, but it only lasted a few days, so I can't decide if it was worth it. </p>
