Ileostomy Challenges with New Low Flow Toilets

This topic is about dealing with the challenges of cleaning a low-flow toilet when you have an ileostomy, which often results in mostly liquid output. The person who started the discussion recently installed an American Standard low-flow toilet with a special glaze designed to resist mold, mildew, and stains. However, they are facing issues with cleaning because the usual toilet bowl cleaners can damage this special finish. They are looking for advice on how to clean the toilet effectively without causing damage.

Here are some helpful suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Use white vinegar as a cleaning solution. Pour about ½ cup of white vinegar into the toilet bowl at night, let it sit, and then brush and flush in the morning. White vinegar is known for its ability to remove stains and neutralize odors, and it is gentle enough not to harm the specialized glaze of the low-flow toilet.

2. The originator found a suggested remedy that worked well for them, indicating that the cleaning problem was resolved with the advice received.
