For some unkown reason, i'm getting typing lag as well. I neglected this Windows computer for a long time but this never happened on Chromebook though it's also years old so i will be brief. (And the only thing i know it works with lag is reinstalling the damn W...)
Instead of taking pictures i decided to reuse whatever i can find online for this post but i didn't find much except for negative examples. I will use a couple of videos to help illustrate my latest experience that i feel i have to share. Cause it caused me a great deal of inconvenience and i think everybody should know.
Two videos on how (not) to clean a toilet, taken years apart. Don't get me wrong, it's a good intention and a good start but unfortunately does not accomplishes the task.
There is something interesting though about those because in the first one there is a type of toilet rather rare that has a big advantage. It does not have the space between the seat and the reservoir, being made in one piece. That eliminates the biggest poop trap present at most others that is very hard to clean and ignored by everybody. Where the bacteria that is trying to eat you alive lives. And with this i said mostly everything i wanted to say.
A couple of more places that are also ignored though they are somehow "accidentally cleaned" by any of the home cleaning "pros" when using a spray. The space inside the hinges where the axles is inserted. Those are inches of totally hidden cylindrical space that are never cleaned. The space under the two little covers of the two mounting bolts for the lid. The space under the rim where the nuts for those bolts are. As i said, when you use spray a cleaner, especially chlorine bleach, it inherently penetrates some of that space.
And BTW you don't need to use a plunger to lower the water level. You can throw in a couple of gallons of water from a tub without flushing and do the same thing.
Ok nevermind could not resist, started the phone and took some pictures. In the first i removed the little lids on top of screws and the screws themselves with a flat screwdriver. One can see how the blue bleach gel we used for cleaning penetrated inside. However not much got into the hole in the ceramic seat where there is a dirty goo. Same under the holes. The spray pump points to where i didn't clean in years, between the two parallel sits of the reservoir.
However there is the area inside the hinges where the axle sits, of a few inches length that is impossible to clean.
But even if you clean in all those tight spaces shown above, they won't stay bacteria free for more than a couple of days.
Here one last picture of the space under the holes, unfortunately thought of it only after cleaning by spraying chlorine bleach (quite dangerous if you spray it in your eyes, like any antibacterial spray). The rusted bolt and nut holds the reservoir, you can see the other end of it inside the reservoir. If you disconnect the line by tightening the faucet next to wall you can empty the reservoir and remove those nuts to replace a leaking seal (between reservoir and seat) or the whole kit inside which is like 20 bucks altogether.
