    I use Borax and baking soda for routine scrubbing with a toilet brush. In between these, I will use bleach for whitening.

    Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.  Thats pretty much what I use to clean everything in my house.  No nasty chemicals and environmentally friendly too.  Chemicals in cleaners are a big contributor to polluting our water.

    WalMart, though I detest the place, does have a double-headed toilet brush, one side a full round head, the second a looped head similar to the old-fashioned veggie scrubber, which can be angled up to scrub around the rim. I wonder how I ever managed without this utensil.

    Due to the nature of tenants, I use anything with chlorine in it.  With really bad stains, I put a little LimeAway in the water and walk away for a few minutes.

    I once had to clean a toilet which had been left full of *** and then dried out in a vacant house. Rubber gloves and a razor-blade scraper will pry this substance from around the edges and it will peel off in chunks, like peeling thick dried paint.

     I use the disposable scrubby pads and once a week put in The Works toilet cleaner  over night since we have incredibly hard water.  

    Have a wonderful day

    I use Comet (usually storebrand equivalent) to clean toilet, sink and tub each week.  In between, I use the FlyLady tip on spraying the seat and rim with Windex (antibacterial) and giving a quick wipe with toilet paper; no muss, no fuss and it stays fresh til the next cleaning.

    I do the similiar thing.  the lysol/clorox wipes are easier, just wipe and flush.

    I prefer the FlyLady way of just swishing the toilet each morning.  I use a brush though that has a bowl it sits in and I put in a little vinegar water, so I am sanitizing when I use it.  She recommends that if you have multiple toilets to use each bathroom throughout the day or evening and that way you swish each toilet.

    I have read, though I've never tried, to do the can of Coke cleaning method.  Apparently a can of coke poured into the toilet bowl and allowed to sit overnight works wonders.  Just flush in the morning and beautiful clean toilets!
