Going to be away for awhile? Pour 1/4 cup of bleach into the bowel before you leave to come home to a sanitized and cleaned bowel. Never use bleach or any other strong cleanser in your toilet if you use automatic chemical releasers, unless you do a little research first. Bleach will react with many of them! To keep rings from forming, pour a half-gallon of white vinegar in the bowel every four weeks or so. Close the lid and let it soak overnight before flushing. To avoid a slow drain and to minimize odors, pour one cup baking soda down your toilet weekly. With just a few simple steps, you can all but remove the need for breaking out the nasty scrub brush and rubber gloves!
