    hands from germs and cleaning chemicals.

3. Flush and Remove Water

    push water down the drain or turn off

    the water supply temporarily and flush

    to reduce water level.

4. Apply Toilet Bowl Cleaner
    Squeeze or pour toilet bowl cleaner

    inside the bowl, covering the entire

    bowl, including under the rim.
    Let the cleaner sit for a few minutes

    to penetrate and disinfect the surface.

    Use a toilet brush to scrub the inside of

    the bowl thoroughly, including the

    rim, under the rim, and the sides of

    the bowl.
    Pay extra attention to any stains or

    mineral deposits, using a scrub brush

    or old toothbrush for tougher areas.

6. Clean the Exterior
    Spray or apply an all-purpose cleaner

    or disinfectant spray on the exterior of

    the toilet, including the tank, seat, lid,

    and base.
    Wipe down the exterior surfaces with

    a microfiber cloth or cleaning

    sponge, focusing on area

    with fingerprints, spills, or soap residue.

7. Clean Toilet Seat and Lid
    Lift the toilet seat and lid and clean

    both sides with a disinfectant spray

    or wipes.
    Wipe down the hinges and underside

    of the seat and lid as well.

8. Clean Flush Handle and Controls
    Use a disinfectant wipe or damp cloth

    with all-purpose cleaner to clean the

    flush handle or buttons and anyother

    controls on the toilet.

9. Rinse and Flush
    Use a clean toilet brush or sponge to

    rinse the inside of the bowl, removing

    any remaining cleaner.
    Flush the toilet to rinse away loosened

    dirt and cleaner from the bowl.

10. Dry and Polish
      Use a dry microfiber cloth to dry

      and polish the toilet's exterior, surfaces,

      including the tank, seat, lid,

      and base.

11. Dispose of Gloves and Clean Tools
      Remove gloves carefully and dispose

      of them properly.
      Rinse and clean the toilet brush,

      scrub brush, or old toothbrush used

      for cleaning. Let them air dry

      before storing.

12. Final Touches
      Replace toilet paper or refill the

      toilet paper holder if needed.
      Close the toilet seat and lid.

By following these steps regularly, you can keep your toilet clean, germ-free, and pleasant to use.
