and that is probably one of the grossest things you're going to see today and
that's my toilet. Welcome back it's Hannah this is Chore With Me and today
we're going to be doing an epic toilet clean and by epic I mean like we're
taking the lid off that's how serious this is in just
glancing at the toilet it might not actually seem that dirty but there are
parts of this toilet that I feel like I haven't cleaned in basically forever so
it's time until about a week or so ago I had absolutely no idea how to remove the
toilet lid but I figured it out and I'm gonna show you how to do it today and
trust me you're gonna want to do it because there's some nastiness back
there obviously every toilet is a little bit different but the principle of how
the lid goes on is pretty much the same for every toilet so I grabbed a
screwdriver with a flathead and that helped me pop these little things open
which oh that's disgusting so once you open those little flaps and you find
where the screws are they'll hold you toilet down you're gonna want to look
under your toilet and you're gonna see how the screw goes through the toilet
and there's gonna be that plastic bolt or kind of like a nut that keeps it in
place and keeps it tight up against the toilet also forgive my lack of correct
terminology when referencing these mechanical types of things I don't know
anything about mechanics so I'm probably using the wrong terms but you get by the
video what it is I'm actually referring to so then I use the screwdriver to
loosen the bolts on both sides once you've loosened both of those you can go
ahead and look under your toilet and you're going to notice everything isn't
snug up against the toilet anymore so then you're going to be able to grab
that bolt and you're gonna be able to twist it until it comes completely off
and then you can grab the bolt out of the toilet I actually found that by
using the screwdriver I'm putting it into the screw and holding it tight I
was able to move the bolt off a lot easier otherwise this screw just kind of
moved around and it was taking a lot longer okay so there we go we got the
screws / bolts whatever you call them out and they look to be in pretty good
condition just a little dirty so I set those on top of the toilet on a paper
towel so they hopefully wouldn't roll anywhere and that I wouldn't lose them
and now for the big reveal the moment we've all been waiting for
I removed the toilet seats Wow that is disgusting I really hope
you're not having a snack while you're watching this but it's toilet cleaning
so I'm assuming you assumed it would be disgusting next I'm going to start with
some Lysol wipes and just give this toilet a quick wipe down just to get rid
of some of that nastiness and surprisingly all that gross stuff seemed
to come off really easily so that kind of made me feel a little better like it
hasn't been there fur and that long that it's crusted on this is really gross and
I'm actually embarrassed that I'm putting this on line but let's get real
most of our toilets probably look like this if we don't clean them on the
regular so you know and after that's all the way down we're just gonna flush that
memory away and pretend it didn't happen and I'm already feeling a little better
watching that disappear so next I decided I'm gonna give the toilet seat a
serious bath with a bunch of bleach in it because we want to just disinfect
that thing but before we start the bath I'm just gonna rinse it off because it's
a bunch of yucky nasty stuff on there so let's get rid of that first and then do
the bath side
and just doing that rinse with hot water took a lot of the caked on stuff that
was there right off and it is bath time so let's get that hot water running
let's fill up that tub and get this thing disinfected
I didn't measure the bleach I just poured a bunch of it in because it's a
toilet did you ever use too much bleach on the toilet I don't think so and then
I added some soap too because for some reason in my mind you have to add soap
to get things clean I don't know if this is even a good combination but it seemed
to work out ok nothing blew up then I add it in all the bits and pieces and
we're going to let all that sit and disinfect for a while and there it is
looking happy and having a good time in the hot water and then I spent the next
30 minutes scrubbing down the toilet and we're gonna fast-forward through that
because that's kind of boring but very necessary
swims over toilet let's get you out and cleaned up I'm also going to use a
toothbrush and scrub everything down just to make sure it's extra clean and
clearly I was having a really hard time picking up that plug because I kept
dropping it
and one last rinse and then it's ready to be dried
thanks for the Coffman like I said and now I'm going to dry it off and put it
back together hopefully
look how incredibly clean this part of the toilet is I'm very happy it came out
looking like this
and now it's time to put everything back together so while I was busy cleaning
someone was busy chewing and you wouldn't happen to know anything about
this love with the hole in now would you Leila yeah I didn't think you'd do
something like that and now I'm hoping I'm gonna be able to put a link back on
the toilet
and once the lid is on I'm just gonna give it a bit of a wiggle and make sure
that it's actually secure so when someone sits down you know they don't
wiggle over
I also realized I had to turn the screw the other way to get the little flap
closed okay come on Hannah it isn't that hard. There we go!
