I think most of us can agree that cleaning the bathroom toilets is one of the most disliked of household chores. For me it’s the chore I wish I could do least often but find myself doing most often. At our house the bathrooms get a deep cleaning every many days but the toilets always need to get cleaned in between.
The folks at Clorox sent me a Clorox toilet Wand to try. What I liked the best about the Clorox Wand was that it did a great job at quickly cleaning the toilets. The starter kit that I received came with a caddy that kept the wand at hand. The heads are disposable and require hand-free connecting and disconnecting. What I didn’t like about the wand: that it is disposable. I got around this by using each head to quickly clean as many toilets as I could. I found that the head provided enough foam the first time around to clean other toilets. While foaming went down as I turned to clean a second and third toilet, all three toilets were cleaned just as well.

One of the things that I do to keep cleaning easier is I put everything that I will need in my, “cleaning bucket”. That way I can just bring my bucket from room to room, and I have everything I need.
Just found your website – love it! Have really wanted to try one of these. We have a new toliet and our current brush is too fat to get all the way down!
I’m sure this is not the best for the environment, but I use cleaning products like the Clorox Toilet Wand to clean my toilets, and Swiffer for the floors…so much easier than the old fashioned methods :-).
Clorox Toilet Wand makes cleaning the bathroom less of a chore. I love this product.
it takes up less time!
Thanks for the opportunity.
I look forward to making cleaning that much easier! Thank you.
I get my husband to help out as much as possible!!
I try to make chores easier by doing at least two of them each day. That way I don’t get overwhelmed.
I put down a schedule and try to stick to it! Thanks for the giveaway
I can’t really say that I “HATE” to clean, I just don’t have the time to! With two small kids running around, I barely am able to keep the cobwebs out of the house, let alone the toilets clean!
I look for things like the Toilet Wand to help me!
My husband will only help me with the vacuuming, the rest is up to me!
For laundry…I stain treat my baby clothes as they are worn that way it doesnt take me an hour to stain treat everything before washing.
I make things easier by cleaning up as I go. For example, I don’t have a dishwasher, so I do a load of dishes after every meal so that I don’t get a huge sinkful in the evening. Thank you for the giveaway!
I would love to try this. I am a single mom of 3 kids who dance and play sports, and we are very busy with church and school and work and … I would love something to make my life just a little bit easier.
I try to clean as I go so that one mess never gets too big. Once you get in the habit, it isn’t too hard to follow.
I have 2.5 bathrooms and keep cleaning products in each bathroom. I find that it’s easier than toting things upstairs and room to room. I’m also more likely to do quick cleaning jobs if the products are at my fingertips.
Would love love love to win this! I use these regularly and have enough time to do it quickly while my daughter is playing in the bathtub!
I bribe my husband into cleaning the toliets.
I asked the kids and hubby to help out with the chores.
I enjoy any “shortcut” that makes cleanier easier and faster. My 10 month old doesn’t give me much time to clean!
I make it easier on me by having the kids help! I would love a toilet wand for the bathroom!
We don’t get to clean as often as we should. We keep toilet cleaning supplies in two bathrooms.
I get my husband to distract the kids. That’s the worst think ever when you are cleaning the toilet and your baby comes crawling in!
I do a quick pick up every night. Put all toys/books/clothes away and I am ready for the next day.
I try to have a weekly schedule of cleaning so I make sure I hit all the areas in the house each week.
I would put it in my son’s bathroom hoping a new gadget would make him clean his bathroom more frequently.
I’m a neat freak when it comes to clean toilets and I clean ours several times a week. This would be my “Magic Wand” so to speak! 🙂
I hate hate hate cleaning the toilet so this sounds like one of those wonder products that would make my most loathed chore 1,000 times easier.
My husband divide and conquer! I don’t worry about the bathroom because I know he’ll clean it top to bottom and he doesn’t worry about the family room because he knows I’ll go through to dust, pick up clutter, vacuum, etc. It takes some of the stress out of cleaning the whole house.
I make cleaning easier on myself by delegating!!
My daughter told me about this giveaway and I couldn’t pass it up. Clean toilets are a must! 🙂
I would like to try this.
Using gloves for me does wonders. It makes me do so much without worrying about getting my hands messed up.
I have a cleaning bucket that stores everything – so I can tote it around. Also, listening to 80s music on the iPod helps. LOL
I try to give the kids little “cleaning jobs” to keep them busy when I’m cleaning.
I love this product and would love to win won! It makes cleaning so easy!
My husband usually tackles the bathrooms for me, making it easier to get to the other chores.
I usually get my chores done by bribing people.
I like to make a list so I can cross things off after they’re done! What a sense of accomplishment. 🙂
I try to spend even just a few minutes straigtening and cleaning. If I know I only have to do it for 15 minutes it makes it easier. You’d be surprised how much you can pick up, dust, sweep in just 15 minutes!
I think that it would make it earier to clean the toilet. thanks for a chance to win
One way I use to make my cleaning easier is that I started buying the wipes version of many cleaning products. They are simple to grab and bring with me around the house while I’m chasing my 2 year old and you can do the whole job with just one hand.
I am NOT a pro when it comes to chores, but I have a few tips. I try to rinse dishes RIGHT after meals so that when I’m ready to load the dishwasher, they’re all set and it only takes me 2 minutes. Also, I fold laundry during tv commercials. And I wash all the toilets at once while I’ve got the cleaning solution and scrubber out.
I don’t have the cleanest house…with 2 boys under 4 running around all the time it’s hard to keep anything “clean”. But, I get motivated to clean by having friends over once or twice a week. That makes me power clean the house at least once a week. After the kids are in bed I also take that time to pick up around the house before I relax and go to bed.
We just moved and ditched the old toilet brush. I would love to start a cleaning routine with this product. It looks so easy!
I can’t lie… I hire a maid service to come once every few weeks. Now that my 3 daughters have moved away, my house is too big for me to clean by myself, and my ‘helpers’ are all gone! But I do maintain many things on my own, like laundry, dishes, toilets, and tidying. Thanks!
I try to keep things straight as I go, but for a more thorough cleaning I wait until the kids are gone so they can’t follow behind me and mess up what I just cleaned. I want it to stay clean for a few minutes anyway!
I would love to try this Clorex wand. I hate hate hate cleaning bathrooms. I use the Flylady website and now I don’t hate it so much since you clean it in babysteps!
Nicole
i clip coupons and look for bargains so i can try new cleaning items for free or close to it. while it’s not ‘fun’ it sure does make it nice to try new things cheaply!!
I tidy up every night after I put my kids to bed. I usually spend 20-30 minutes on various tasks like laundry, dishes, putting things away, etc. Then I give myself a few hours of free time each night! It’s so nice getting the cleaning out of the way and then rewarding myself for it.
After everyone is in bed it is time to clean the bathroom and make sure the chores are done. THis Clorox cleaning brush will speed this process.
I have a schedule for cleaning like on Monday I run the vaccuum, clean the bathrooms, Wednesday I dust and scrub the floors that way I am not so over whelmed with getting everything done at once in one day.

I keep duplicate sets of cleaning supplies in each bathroom, so everything’s right there when I get a chance to clean – no trekking around the house to get everything together!
I’ve learned to let cleaning products sit for awhile before I start scrubbing. It gives them time to work and makes my job MUCH easier. Cleaning the toilet, especially, is a snap if I pour some Mr. Clean in there and just let it sit until I’m ready.
I like disposable cleaning supplies. Makes things that much easier.
I love this product, it makes cleaning the toilet EASY!
I have started to use clorox cleaning wands for cleaning now since I got 1 wand and 7 refill boxes for $1 the other week. They work great!
with boys who cant use this…for the obvious reasons! lol
I sat down with my girls and made a schedule. So they know when they are supposed to clean their room, sweep porch etc.
I clean the toilets at 5am before the kids get up. They are still young and I don’t want them to try cleaning them with their toothbrushes or hair brushes!
I share the love with having chores done by everyone in the house. Mainly my daughter and I do the rooms together and your kid will tell you everything going on in her life. So far it works…
I try and do a little each day so the load isn’t so heavy come the weekend. This wand looks like it would be great!
THanks
I DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY SO IT DOESN’T GET PILED UP. THANKS
I have a cleaning schedule that keeps the cleaning from building up at the end of the week. Also, everyone must clean up after themselves.
One thing I do to cut cleaning time is clean my shower while I’m in it. I do this multiple times per week to prevent mildew from building up. I spray cleaner in the shower and soon as I wake up and let it soak for a few minutes, then I use a sponge to scrub the shower while I’m actually showering. It only takes a few minutes and I don’t have to set aside time to clean my shower!
I have my husband help out! 😀
I try to stick to a schedule. I also use flylady.net for ideas and motivation.
I try to set a schedule but don’t usually stick to it. I would love to try this product!
Have my son help me with the chores!!
I give the kids bathrooms a quick cleaning while they are in the tub. I wipe down the sink, toilet and floor. With three boys under three, the bathroom is always in need of attention.
I actually do not mind cleaning – it gives me such a good feeling when completed. This sounds like a great product.
I keep cleaning products where I need them so that it’s super easy to do quick touch ups. I keep a tub of Lysol wipes under the sink in both bathrooms and the kitchen for wiping off counters. There’s a stick vac in the master bathroom and just yesterday I bought two Clorox wands on clearance at CVS so now there’s one ready to go in each bathroom (when we moved we lost our wand and my husband bought the Scrubbing Bubbles brand instead; it’s not nearly as good and it doesn’t have the caddy).
I’d love to win one for my mom!!
It’s easier for me to get chores done if I set up a specific time and day to do them. For example, I do laundry on Tuesdays and iron on Saturdays during my baby’s nap.
Looks like a wonderful product to make a despised chore easier 🙂
I keep all my supplies in a bucket so it’s easier to get them from room to room while cleaning.
I make my household chores easier by purchasing (with coupons, of course!) products that make it easier to do the jobs I really hate (toilets being one of them, showers the other).
looks like a great product that will make it easier to clean the potty, esp with a little one potty training that is all I seem to do…clean and reclean the potty. thanks for the chance to win
I make sure I have all the cleaning products in each bathroom. This way I don’t have to carry them around.

We turn on some upbeat music, and make a “game” out of it.
I focus on one chore a day – like laundry day for the bigger chores otherwise just 10 minutes in any room makes a big difference so I pick a room a day!
I try not to get overwhelmed – I try to keep things picked up, and if it gets out of control, which of course it does sometimes, I just tell myself one room at a time & it’ll get done! thanks
I use the Toilet Wand for more then a year.
To get the most out of one head you can start with cleaning the sink or tub and clean the toilet last. Or use one for 2-3 toilets.
I personaly add a cleaner if needed. As a nurse I think it is important to keep bathrooms clean and avoid reusing sponges or brushes.
We clean as we go. The kids pitch in a lot, too.
since I am in the bathroom when our young son is taking a bath, I use this time to clean and tidy up the bathroom!
I am always looking for ways to give me more time to spend with my family.
I clean the toilets while my daughter is in the bath. I spray the toilet, let it sit while I bathe her, and then clean the toilet while she plays. We alternate bathrooms so I get both toilets done on a regular basis!
I TRY to hint around to my husband what needs done, but sometimes that doesn’t seem to get him up and moving to help. But, a wife/mom can dream and hope someone else will see the mess besides her can’t she?
alka-seltzer tabs in the toilet help with the scale/rust build-up flush and presto clean!
I would love to win this Clorox Toilet Wand. Toilets are gross, nasty, foul….need I go on. I spray, let sit and swish….
I divide up my cleaning jobs by doing a load of laundry everyday, one bathroom cleaning job, and an extra cleaning job in the kitchen; that way I am never overwhelmed and nothing is ever a week away from being clean.
I usually don’t clean the house all at once–I do different chores each day so I don’t wear myself out. This way I don’t avoid housework because I know it doesn’t take that long to do a few things.
I turn some music on and get my 4 kids to help me. Time flies much quicker when you have helpers and are having fun!
I try to vaccuum the stairs more regularly…stops tracking of dirt. And have people leave shoes at the door.
I find it simplifies things to do just a few minutes every night to help maintain things
I always try to clean in the bathroom while I am in there doing something else, say bathing children or waiting for the curling iron to heat up or something. Bathrooms are the most hated chore!
I turn on music and rock out while I’m cleaning! That makes it so much more enjoyable.
I keep everything for cleaning a bucket for fast and efficient cleaning.
I only have one bathroom in my house to clean but I do a swipe to clean a small part of it every day.. One day it’ll be the sink & bannister, the next I’ll focus on the toilet itself, then the next day I’ll hit the other counter tops and spaces.. I’ll wait for the weekend to do a good shower scrubbing and sweep & mop but the cleaning on the run first thing in the morning during the week makes my weekend cleaning alot faster & easier.
I wipe the bathrooms down every morning after everyone is done getting ready for their day….this way they never get dirty!!
Listen to music does make it easier to clean as it not my favorite thing to do. If i have to clean the bathroom is my favorite. Having a wand to clean the toilet would be great
I am not very good at getting my cleaning done but I a lot of straightening by every night when I put the dogs to bed I pick up the messes they have made and every morning I pick up after the cats (before I get the dogs up). Believe me it was much easier when I only had to clean up after my son.

I try to get my husband to do them!! 🙂
I make a list for my days off and tackle the list first thing in the morning. That way I’m very motivated to get the cleaning done quickly- a little ‘me time’ in the afternoon is my incentive!
I make it easier on me by taking it at my own pace, make my husband help and listen to some fun music. This allows us to play around while still getting the cleaning done!
My kiddo helps with some of the chores, I throw the laundry in first so while I’m cleaning the laundry is going then I can relax and fold clothes after the cleaning is done.
I set aside 15 minutes everyday to tidy up a different room
I DESPISE cleaning the bathroom! How can such nice people have such a disgusting bathroom! (hint 3 boys, one is a toddler!) I reward myself with a hot shower when I get that nasty room cleaned up!
I schedule my cleaning — it’s easier for me to stay organized that way. When I see it in writing I feel like I have to do it — and when I mark off a task I feel like I’ve accomplished something 🙂 *Thanks* for the giveaway!
The cleaner is already in the brush-that will make cleaning the toilet so much easier!
I love the Clorox Toilet Wand and could really use some more!! I try to clean as I go as much as possible. If I don’t, I get lazy and things start to pile up and then it takes me twice as long to clean!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Jamie
I like the Clorox cleaning wipes. I try to wipe down the bathroom sink/counter every day. By doing it daily, things don’t build up. Plus it only takes a few seconds because there isn’t time for it to get super dirty.

I hope I win so I can try this product! One of my favorite cleaning tricks to speed up the process (and storage) are the Purex 3 in 1 laundry sheets, with a Tide Stain Release tabs. I pretreat any BIG stains with Oxy Clean laundry spray as the clothes are worn to save me more time. I LOVE the Purex sheets so much that I bought approx. 2 years worth of them when they were on sale with coupons. I don’t have to worry about any liquid laundry spills from when my 11 yr old does laundry- whoo hoo! =)
I blush to respond, but I put off cleaning as long as I can and hope no one comes to visit.

My hubby and I share chores and try to do them while baby is sleeping in order to get them done faster…. I would love to win this product because it seems easier than my traditional toilet scrubber….
Great Giveaway!! Thanks!
I use a Scunci handheld steam cleaner for spot cleaning & to make it easier to loosen dirt before wiping down with a damp cloth.
I do one room a day. So cleaning them up doesn’t feel that bad.
I try to do at least one chore everyday, after work. That way, I’m not bogged down on the weekends.
The only trick I have is enlisting the masses (my kids.) Even at 3 and 5 there are things that they can do to help.
I try to make a schedule and even though it makes me feel like a kid sometimes, it helps! I get a lot more done if I can see my list right in front of me. 🙂
i haven’t tried this product but i do love the scrubbing bubbles product that is similar.
I have a canister of antibacterial wipes under each bathroom sink. The kids and my husband are now in the habit of using one to wipe down the sink and counter area after they use it. It keeps the area clean in between my weekly cleaning.

My kids love to clean, so I make my life easier by giving them things to clean. They fight over who gets to sweep! LOL The disposable head is one of the reasons I haven’t tried this product yet, but I have been wanting to try it. I detest cleaning the toilets!
I try to keep up with things as I go – like if there’s a little spill, I’ll wipe it up right away, so it doesn’t get caked on. A few seconds now saves time later.
We are potty training right now at our house so I feel like I’m ALWAYS cleaning the toilet. This would make it so much easier!!
I try to do one room a night. It only takes 15 minutes each night instead of 2hours if I did it at once.
this would make cleaning easier cause i can teach my boys (5 and 6) how to clean there toliet. i wouldnt have to worry about a liquid cleaner to put in there. plus i would be teaching them responsiblity.
This would make cleaning toilets (one of my least favorite chores) easier and quicker! Thanks!
I try to only clean on my days off. I am pregnant now so after working all day, getting my son and eating dinner I am too tired to clean.
Thanks!
I try to run through the house and pick up clothes (esp socks!) on the floor, and put them in the hamper. My husband helps fold clothes after they are washed and dried. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh wow! These would make my life easier. I could finally trust my 5 year old to clean the toilet- which would be such a help!!
I do little things everyday so I won’t have so much to do on the weekend. I always wash 2 loads of towels and this cuts down on the time I spend on Saturday morning cleaning and that means more time for my family.
My wife and I team clean. Makes it go by quicker.
I work outside the home so most of my deep cleaning takes place on the weekend. I have found that I do best when I pop in my headphones and listen to a audiobook while I power through all of them. It is so much nicer to have them behinde me.
In order to make cleaning easier I try to stick to a cleaning schedule with daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. I will admit sometimes it doesn’t work as planned but I do try!
I would love to have one. Anything that would make your life easier right???? And get the cleaning done sooner!
Thanks for a chamce to win!
Blessings!
I am having my first baby in a month and would love a shortcut to having the house clean!
To make cleaning easier on me, I put everything I need into a bucket and carry it with me from room to room. I have rags, wood polish, all-purpose cleaners, window cleaner, and bathroom cleaners in there. It saves me a lot of time by not having to run around and find what I need to get the job done!
