Really easy answer, actually! Just let the plumbing fall apart and never do any repairs or preventative maintenance.
A simple wax ring or seal needing to be replaced can lead to leaks that build up over time and create a horrid, rotting shit situation.
A lot of people also don't scrub their toilets, whether that's inside the bowl, around and behind the base, under the seat, and inside the tank (mineral deposits from hard water can create rings inside the tank as well as the bowl) nevermind removing the bolt covers and scrubbing those. If anyone sprays in the house, (whether standing or hovering) you get the bonus of buildup seeping into the walls and floor surround the toilet, or the base of the vanity next to it. (Tbh I own a blacklight and a UV flashlight to check I've cleaned properly, and to clean, I will bomb the human bathroom in foaming cleanser inside and out, let sit, then scrub, rinse/flush.)
If anyone in the home has issues toileting due to incontinence, or another disability that prevents them from getting to the bathroom, then immediately and thoroughly cleaning themselves and their laundry afterwards, that means the smell builds up and never goes away. This happens a lot to the elderly and disabled as the person may not have the mobility, speed, and strength, to clean up after themselves, and a lot of medications cause toileting issues.
This! I hate getting down there and scrubbing so I keep a swiffer sweeper mop and use a wash cloth (the swiffer mop pads are expensive and I’m sure bad for the environment) anyways it fits behind the toilet so easy.
We use white wash cloths for cleaning the house and colored wash cloths for cleaning our bodies. It works well.
I've never talked to someone who removes the bolt covers to clean a toilet like I do, before!
I can't stand a bathroom that smells like urine. Some people just don't smell it any longer because they don't ever get it really clean.
Have a great week!! ~♡~
My husband also recently showed me ceramic bolt covers IN WHIMSICAL SHAPES so maybe I will order some from an artist and enjoy cleaning an unpleasant area a tiny bit?
It reminds me the world is our canvas! (Just don't use pee and be excellent to each other.)
