You might be doing your best to achieve a clean and shiny toilet. But chances are you might not be seeing the desired results. Despite scrubbing the toilet every now and then, your toilet might still have stains and odor. This can be due to some mistakes made unintentionally that could be keeping your toilet dirty. In order to get a germ-free, clean-as-new toilet, listed below are some mistakes you need to avoid.

Rushing the process
Disinfectants need time to be effective. When you spray the toilet with a disinfectant and immediately wipe it off, you are allowing germs to grow. It is important to let the disinfectant or solution stay on the surface for some time. Wiping and rinsing the solution off should be the last step in your cleaning routine.

Putting away wet toilet brushes
Washing your toilet with the brush or a wand and then putting them into their holder while still wet can cause problems. The humid environment is the perfect breeding ground for microbes to grow and multiply. Using the same brush to clean the toilet will only lead to the spread of more germs.

Irregular cleaning habits
When it comes to toilet cleaning, the germs pile up upon every visit. To prevent the spread of infections, you will have to be fairly regular with your cleaning schedule. It is important to wash your toilet brush every time you clean your bathroom.

Overlooking hot spots
There are spots outside the toilet that could be harboring multiple germs. These places include toilet seats, the area behind it, faucets, and the flush handle. Ignoring these germ-ridden spots is a common cleaning mistake that should be avoided. Since these spots are often in your contact, you might end up carrying these germs and getting infected.

Using the wrong tools
Toilet brushes can come in various types. Similarly, their effectiveness varies too. It is essential to choose the right cleaning brush for freedom from germs and disease-causing microbes. One such efficient tool is the Clorox® ToiletWand® System. The disposable cleaning heads save you from the hassle of drying cleaning brushes. Simply fit the disposable head onto the wand and scrub the toilet clean. Then, flush off the remnants in 5-10 minutes.
