Is your lavatory spotless?

I have owned numerous lavatories in my time including those in business premises and holiday apartments. I have also brought up three children. The lavatories in my house are spotlessly clean (normally).
Sometimes, after a particularly good result, the pan can be left foul after flushing. I find that a bottle of bleach and a toilet brush can solve that problem in a moment.
However, I remember from my holiday apartments that after they were vacated some users had obviously never done this and the accumulated mess (which they had lived with during their stay) was appalling.
Last night we had some very educated and respectable guests but this morning I noticed that the lavatory they had used was in the aforementioned horrible state.
Is your lavatory pan spotlessly white or it it stained with accumulated skid marks?
Are people so afraid of their own excretia they would rather leave it to someone else to clean up?
Do you know how to use a toilet brush?
Am I being over fastidious?

This is a bit of an obsession of mine. My loo is spotless, it gets cleaned with bleach and a brush, but I also have disinfectant wipes for use in between cleans. I also have a scented thingy that hangs over the rim of the loo.

I can't stand dirty toilets.

Why do you use bleach? It doesn't make the cleaning process any quicker.

The loos at our old house were pretty clean all of the time - as long as we followed the children around. The new house have different designs of loo to the old and are, apparently, designed to reduce "splash back". As a result they are very liable to acquire skid marks and not relinquish them easily enough for the flush to get rid of them.

The only thing for it is mechanical removal with a loo brush.

I can't believe the an eminent member like John brought this subject up and that I am replying to it.

John?.. (no pun intended, I'm sure) he has to sit on the pan like the rest of us!

Can't believe it? He's always been a sh1t-stirrer...

Actually, I can't stand the way most of the people I work with are incapable of urinating into the bowl without spraying the floor.

And, sometimes, the seat.

And never wiping up their errant wee.

Or replacing empty rolls of lavatory paper, leaving the cardboard tube on the holder and the new roll on the pee-sodden floor.

Or...

My loo is spotless. There is nothing worse than someone elses skidmarks. Even my son doesn't like it.
(although occasionally he leaves dribbles, but at least I have him trained to put the seat and lid down )

What is it with YD at the moment and all these threads on bodily functions? Is it the time of year? The thought of all that chocolate over the weekend Soemthing int he water?

Because it smells nice. My current bottle is 'Aqua' scented (whatever that is).

I can't stand a dirty loo either.

Oh and people who leave the seat/lid up - what's that all about? Just bloomin' lazy in my opinion.

My loo is spotless. I am fastidious about making sure I don't leave a mess in other people's loos too. Having IBS means going to the toilet can be...errr...interesting, as I never quite know what's going to happen when I get there I'd hate people to think I was minging.
