toilet cleaner

[tracymort]

no matter what i try i cant get my loo clean. i am currently trying coca cola (it is rather corrosive). any other ideas (i have trued the usual cleaners by the way) ?

I recently found Parazone 100% limescale remover. After moving into a house previously owned by a single man the loos were none too spotless! But a couple of goes with Parazone and a good scrub, and Parazone tabs in the cistern, and they've come up a treat! No longer am I ashamed of my loos!

Are you stereotriping men as dirty pigs Flirty ;-) Coca Cola is highly reccomended but Harpic will do it too. Once you get it clean wouldn't it be nice to forget about limescale? To help with this Tracyh, here is a link. http://www.universal-love.co.uk/phpcart/answers3.h
tml Businesses will try to sell you their 'special' magnet for an arm and leg and maybe they're very efficient but since I jammed an old speaker magnet behind my water pipe, limescale is a thing of the past and I used to get Loads. :-)

xyzzy: sorry if I offended you and your fellow men! But I think most women would agree that loo-cleaning does not seem to come high up on the list of a man's priorities! But I'm prepared to be proved wrong!

Flirty, I have a wife and three daughters and clean the toilet more often than any of them... I'm also the only person in the house who puts the lid down after using the toilet, and I don't pee on the seat or the floor! It's me who removes all of the hairs which block the bath plughole on a daily basis and as my hair is cut to a No.2 every month I don't think I'm to blame for blocking it in the first place. I'm also the only one who seems bothered in any way about cleanliness of the bathroom, kitchen, lounge hall, bedrooms etc.

To add just a bit more, all of our girls are in their teens and old enough to tidy up after them but I have to constantly remind them/make them put their stuff away. Whenever I am cooking I clean up as I go and after you can't even tell I've been there. Contrast this with my wife who will think nothing of starting to prepare food in six square inches of clear worktop and end up with one square inch to work on and a mountain of rubbish which she will then leave in-situ...

I feel I'm fighting a losing battle...I'm not a cleanliness freak, all I want is a place to relax in which is relatively clean and tidy.

And I've got dazzling good looks and great manners too, so I guess I'm just about perfect!!!

[gazzawazza]

Only joking...!

You tell 'em Flirty....filthy pigs the lot of them. Having recently done some market research on bleaches i can recommend Vortex as the one of choice! If you prefer a more eco-friendly solution try Bicarbonate of Soda BUT DON'T mix your cleaning products in the loo....explosive combinations have been known to result from whacking different cleaners doon the cludgie!!

I can understand both viewpoints expressed here: Men are not known for cleaning up after women (or sometimes even themselves), those who do resent being wrongly stereotyped. On the other hand, talking of image, what do men now think of the scents worn by lots of women - Eau de Rothmans anyone, or L'air du Benson & Hedges ? I find it very off-putting and a huge disappointment to see an otherwise attractive girl bordering on being repulsive (so unnecessary), am I alone ?

[flirty41]

gazza - you nearly had me there! Good one! :-)

[gazzawazza]

Yeah, the bit about dazzling good looks and good manners wasn't true!

[gazzawazza]

No Karl, you're not alone... I realise some people want to smoke, that's up to them, but I wonder if they would still smoke if they realised how bad it makes them smell.

I hate to be stood in a shop queue when someone stands next to me stinking of fags, it almost makes me want to say to the cashier, "I hope you don't think it's me that stinks!!!"

[xyzzyplugh]

Well, you got a link Tracyh. Sorry if I caused a threadjack.

[Gef]

tracyh - it's no good just pouring them down the loo, you need a bit of elbow grease as well :-)

Gazzawazza, you sound delightful, fancy living with me for a while? I agree with relaxing in a tidy and clean house, I can't stand leaving things lying around and always make sure all dirty glasses are put away before going to bed so that when I come down in the morning to get brekkie the house is lovely and tidy. I don't care if you're good looking or not, a domesticated man is quite hard to find!! Your wife's a lucky woman! ;o) x

[gazzawazza]

Whey-hey! He shoots - He scores!!! What a result... I haven't visited this question for days and only popped back in by chance!

And I really am good looking (and modest) too!
