How to Clean Up the Toilet After Your Man

Today I reached the limit of my patience: I leaned over the toilet to grab a bag of trash, and all along the side of the commode I see streaks of yellow. Yech!

I had been, for maybe the last three weeks, thinking that my husband was faithfully scrubbing out our master bathroom toilet, just like he says he does every single Sunday. However, as I took a closer inspection of his one chore, I noticed not only more side streaks of yellow, but splotches of crusted-over yellow-orange on the underside of the seat too. There were also odd spots on the toilet cover, and a tell-tale river of yellow beyond the bowl itself, into the tank area. Leaning over to get my trusty Tidy-Bowl, which stands right by the toilet (since hubby claims he can't find it unless it is in plain sight), I noticed some more strange discoloration of the tile floor nearby.

Yep, hubby has certainly been doing his share of the toilet scrubbing. His share, which he will announce every Sunday, is to cover the inside bowl with the blue stuff, wait about half an hour until it "sets", then scrub the upper part of the bowl with a toilet brush and flush. The toilet brush is then deposited into its holder, and hubby goes on his merry way to toilet #2, which is in the guest bathroom. And while he performs the same routine to toilet #2, toilet #1 has accumulated even more yellow tint on its bottom half, which now makes the entire bowl appear as a half-white, half-sand colored chimera. The outside of the bowl has probably gained yet another blue streak or two, along with its previous yellow ones, making a final green-colored mesh. The underside of the toilet seat, which has been left untouched, has just crystallized out some more uric acid, and the lid has been blessed with several blue droplets of cleaning solution. That leaves the brush holder, which holds the Tidy Bowl/urine/etc.-infested brush, to collect nasty brush backwash, until wifey eventually discovers it when it is accidentally tipped over, and the contents spill onto her foot.
