Plant-powered toilet cleaners like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/household-cleaners\/toilet-cleaner-cedar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ECOS Toilet Bowl Cleaner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are a much better choice.

It can reach all of those places in the toilet bowl and under the rim where you can\u2019t see. Toilet brushes are made specifically for scrubbing toilet bowls, and their tough bristles can help remove spots and stains from your dirty toilet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one downside to many toilet brushes is that they\u2019re often made using plastic. Fortunately, more environmentally friendly options for toilet brushes do exist. Choose a toilet bowl brush that is made from biodegradable and compostable materials. Natural toilet brush materials like coconut fiber and bamboo can help you get the job done without the environmental impacts of plastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 2: Give the Bowl a Regular Full Cleaning Once a Week<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img data-opt-id=709722898  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22156\" src=\"https:\/\/mlcvmo0gntjk.i.optimole.com\/cb:ICH-.67306\/w:640\/h:427\/q:90\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-531424722.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlcvmo0gntjk.i.optimole.com\/cb:ICH-.67306\/w:640\/h:427\/q:90\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-531424722.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mlcvmo0gntjk.i.optimole.com\/cb:ICH-.67306\/w:1024\/h:683\/q:90\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-531424722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlcvmo0gntjk.i.optimole.com\/cb:ICH-.67306\/w:768\/h:512\/q:90\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-531424722.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlcvmo0gntjk.i.optimole.com\/cb:ICH-.67306\/w:1536\/h:1024\/q:90\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-531424722.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mlcvmo0gntjk.i.optimole.com\/cb:ICH-.67306\/w:1620\/h:1080\/q:90\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-531424722.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mlcvmo0gntjk.i.optimole.com\/cb:ICH-.67306\/w:18\/h:12\/q:90\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GettyImages-531424722.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A weekly bowl scrubbing to remove excess buildup in your toilet bowl can help you maintain an exceptionally clean toilet in the long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To give your toilet bowl a thorough weekly scrub, we recommend the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coat the inner part of the toilet bowl with your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/household-cleaners\/toilet-cleaner-cedar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plant-powered toilet bowl cleaner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the product sit for 5\u201310 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To remove any buildup, use your toilet brush to gently scrub the inside of the bowl.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flush the toilet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a step back and admire the sparkle.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>A toilet-cleaning tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning the bowl is important, but for a deep clean, don\u2019t forget to also scrub beneath the rim. A study in the Journal of Applied Microbiology<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">found that Salmonella<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could survive in domestic toilets for up to four weeks.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most of the surviving bacteria were found above the water line and beneath the lip of the toilet rim.

But how often should you clean your bathroom and toilet? Regular toilet cleaning and disinfecting can help you remove unwanted germs and keep the external parts of your toilet shining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you\u2019re cleaning the parts of the toilet that come into direct contact with your skin, you definitely need a bathroom cleaning product that won\u2019t leave behind any chemical residue. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecos.com\/household-cleaners\/bathroom-cleaner-tea-tree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ECOS Bathroom Cleaner<\/a> uses plant-derived water softeners to remove scum, smudges and stains.

This wait time allows the disinfectant to work its magic on germs and bacteria.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the time is up, wipe away the disinfectant with a towel &#8211; there\u2019s no need to rinse.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Step 4: Spot Clean as Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an effective weekly cleaning routine, maintaining a spotless toilet can be a cinch.
