I wish I knew! Maybe he doesn’t get enough fiber.
My guess is that MOST people will flush twice if they need to flush twice, if you know what i mean. If you don’t flush twice, and you don’t clean, eventually skids develop into a toxic landfill. Especially with low-flow toilet.
Hmmm… Tell him he has 2 choices and they both involve him. Choice 1, he cleans the bathroom. Choice 2, you clean the bathroom using his head as a toilet brush.
I have better luck with Kaboom. Cuts through the buildup in the shower better including any organisms contemplating a hostile takeover.
Plan B - get him so drunk he has to throw up in his own toilet. The smell of it will may kill him but all is fair in love and war.
Be warned, I used some Drano to clean my sink once (and only once!) It ate the chrome right off the drain opening. Not a good thing when you’re renting.
Big Bad Voodoo Lou, use bamboo skewers instead. The longest ones you can find. Break the sharp tip off of one and insert the ragged end down the drain. Twist and pull a couple of times and all the longer hair will form a secure little tangle around it, ready to be tossed in the trash. Run the length of the skewer around the inside of the drain and all the black slimy stuff and shaved hairs will be ready to be rinsed away.
This is my favorite self-learned household tip. I haven’t had to use Drano in years because of it.
Alcohol.
You mean we don’t get to watch you?
Forbid yourself from doing or getting something you enjoy until said task is done.
I’ll do that sometimes, and it helps get my rear in gear. I’ll tell myself something like, “Finish the dishes, then I can go play Splinter Cell.”
So. Today I took apart our living room. Moved all the furniture, rolled up the rugs, cleaned the woods floors, vacuumed the underside of the rugs, and re-arranged the furniture twice.
It looks great, I’m exhausted, and I am completely astonished by the lengths I will go to to procrastinate and avoid this toilet.
I was thinking the same thing. I use the comet and toilet brush about every 6 weeks, sometimes 2 months or so.
The toilet never smells or anything, the worst that happens is that dog hairs get stuck to the tank from static and those I do dust off frequently.
What on earth is he doing to the toilet???
Thank you so much for directing me to that website. That was the exact problem, and I cleaned everything yesterday. I took the website’s advice and wore latex gloves, but I still used chopsticks because I didn’t have a drain auger or **Tikki/b]'s bamboo skewers. I managed to pull out several huge disgusting black slimy hairy masses, scraped all the black slime off the drain stopper itself, screwed everything back in place, and now my sink drains just fine. I did actual plumbing – I feel like such a manly man!
