Skid Marks

[marvoni]

I have several toilets in my house and they're used daily by several teenagers. I'm not sure why but the teenagers obviously don't sit centrally on the toilets and almost always leave skidmarks. The two first floor toilets will usually come clean even after an hour or two with just an extra flush. One of the ground floor toilets however will never come clean just by flushing, you've invariably got to get down and dirty with some elbow grease and a toilet brush.

I've closely inspected all the toilets and the glaze on the porcelain seems pretty similar, it's not like some of the toilets have a better finish than others. None of the toilets were particularly expensive but they're all recognised brand names.

Any ideas why some are more self cleaning that others? Also I've tried putting a hanging thing inside the cystern (toilet duck) which turns the water blue but it doesn't help with the problem. Is there any product available that might assist?

I haven't tried T-Cut but I did try silicon spray, PTFE spray, casting release agent and even WD40 plus one or two others but with limited success only. The PTFE was the better of the bunch but it didn't have any effect after a few toilet uses. Maybe there's a business opportunity here if you can find something that works for a week or so, just bottle it and label it 'Skid Stop'. If you do then please put me down for a few bottles and I'll provide your testimonials for you sales literature if it works.

You could try lining your WC with bankers; nothing sticks to them.

 

[marvoni]

I'd rather have skid marks than bankers to be honest, skid marks are much more socially acceptable.

Make them clean their own skids off and if you don't see any improvement threaten them with violence.

Perhaps its a medical condition? Maybe he has a wonky sphincter. ..

Better diet lol

Explain that either they can use the brush to solve this problem, or you will shove it up so far that the whole question of skidmarks will be purely hypothetical for some weeks .

There is probably a hydrophobic coating for that. I imagine it has to be applied at manufacturing though. Much like the waterless urinals. Nothing wet will stick to a hrdrophobic coating.

why dont you stick their heads down the loo each time they leave an extra deposit they will soon learn to clean the loo for the next user and put and end to this filthy dirty disgusting habit, i am away to throw up thinking about it,yuk

Most skid marks can be wee'd off with a good strong morning wee, you don't see many toilet brushes around these days as they are always in a vile and disgusting state.
I tend to go outside and get a twig or a branch in the garden and wrap it in toilet paper and then throw it out of a window (not the toilet paper).

Cleaning the scummy build up of encrusted wee and jobbie below the water level is nothing that caustic soda wont shift, just leave to soak but don't let anyone jobbie in there without flushing and/or laying toilet paper on the water to stop it splashing back up your donk. :cheesy:

I've set up an experiment that will be ongoing for the next few months. I've organised 7 different products that I'm testing out on the two worst toilets. Here's the line up so far;









I'm applying each product once on a bowl that I cleaned with a caustic soda solution followed by a solvent. I'm gong to check each bowl once or twice each day and if/when there's skid marks I'm going to note how many flushes it requires to remove them.

I have already been applied the chain lube and the cobra wax so game-on.
