Does anyone really like cleaning the toilet? I do not. Since I have three boys, cleaning toilets is a frequent chore around my house.<\/p>\n<p>This summer I&#8217;m working with Scotch-Brite to share with you some of their awesome cleaning products. I figured I would start with my least favorite thing to clean, toilets!<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the bowl, because in a house with three boys this is actually the cleanest part of the toilet. I love the <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scotch-brite.com\/wps\/portal\/3M\/en_US\/Scotch-BriteBrand\/Scotch-Brite\/Products\/Product-Catalog\/~\/Upturned-Bristles-Toilet-Bowl-Brush-Holder?N=4337+3294543944&amp;rt=rud\" target=\"_blank\">Scotch-Brite toilet bowl brush<\/a> for a few reasons.<\/p>\n<p>First it comes with a holder. Personally, I prefer to have a toilet brush next to every toilet. It makes for easy cleaning and you don&#8217;t have to carry a wet and dripping brush that just came out of your toilet through your house. But if you don&#8217;t have room for a brush in every bathroom, the holder allows you to carry the brush without dripping toilet water on the floor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/toilet-brush.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26448\" alt=\"toilet brush\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/toilet-brush.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/toilet-brush.jpg 430w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/toilet-brush-300x246.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Second it has bristles. Whoever thought you could clean the toilet with a sponge did not live with my family. We need nice bristles that point in all sorts of directions to thoroughly clean around the bowl and under the rim. The Scotch-Brite toilet bowl brush has nice firm bristles that can get to all those hard to reach places.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/photo-41.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-26446\" alt=\"photo (41)\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/photo-41-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"491\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/photo-41-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/photo-41-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/files\/2013\/06\/photo-41.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you know how nervous I was taking a picture over the toilet?

I know everyone goes in there at least once a day. You don&#8217;t even have to use any cleaner. A quick swish with the brush will keep it cleaner longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Once a day have the people who miss the toilet bowl the most (aka the boys) wipe down the seat<\/strong>. You can have them use a baby wipe, a cleaner wipe, or \u00a0a paper towel. But daily wiping makes a huge difference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Giveaway<\/h3>\n<p>How do you keep your toilets clean? Share your tip in the comments and you&#8217;ll be entered to win a <strong>Scotch-Brite prize pack<\/strong>!
