Cleaning issues, in spite of the SG coating. Can I use Clorox on it with a soft toilet brush? Would I damage the Sana Gloss?Dec. 28, 2014 Suzanne L.

You can use bleach safely in the bowl. You don't need to; regular toilet cleaners work fine.

The directions I received with my Sana Gloss toilets said to use dish detergent with a soft plastic brush. It showed Clorox with an X over it, along with "thinners". Don't think I'd use Clorox/bleach if I were you.

I can't answer if chemically bleach is damaging to the SG coating but for me I think adding some bleach occasionally is worth it. I probably add 1/4 cup of bleach in the bowl monthly just to keep it fresh and to cut down on the stain rings. Overall this toilet has been great.

the sana gloss is a little more expensive, but it stays clean longer- doesn't pick up any water stains (etc). I picked up a sanagloss model because it was on sale. I would normally buy the eco drake normal model otherwise ( I have purchased 5 of those). Great toilets!!!

Sorry, I am the only user and haven't ever used a disinfectant cleaner on it. I use the brush that comes with it. I asked my husband if alcohol could be used. He felt it would disinfectant, however, he thought alcohol would remove the lubricant. Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer. Peace...

I have no experience with using this on a toilet, but I used it on a kitchen sink and bath tub. As this was the second refinishing (I'd used another product) I paid very close attention to the surface preparation. After a year or more both surfaces were fine. It seems like it would work as long as you don't use harsh bowl cleaners.

I don't know. I have only washed my sons and it went back on. I tried to wash it gently and not rub the inside too hard. It was still tacky when I was finished. Maybe you scrubbed that off. Sorry to hear that. Maybe you could email Moshi. Who knows? I have been surprised in the past by good service. Worth a try. Good luck!

hey!! i actually know the answer to your problem. i used to live in a house with a well and for the first time in my life, had hard water stains in my toilet. i didn't even know what they were for awhile (i had grown up with city water) but i couldn't get rid of them for the life of me. i don't know how i found them, but i bought something called "pumice sticks" and the hard water stains rubbed right off!!!! i can't understand how they didn't scratch the toilet itself, but they didn't. i just checked and amazon sells them - do a search on pumice sticks. and frankly, i see that they sell them with handles - get those!! mine were just rectangle blocks and even with gloves, i hated having to actually stick my hands into my toilet and scrub away. a handle would have been a nice option. good luck!!

The most I've ever done for mine is to make sure I rinse it thoroughly with hot water after each use, making sure that all of the cleanser that I used is rinsed out completely. After that, I squeeze it and hang it to dry. I also agree with the first poster that a mild soap or vinegar should work as well. Also, something to consider is that the bristles are supposed to be naturally antimicrobial according to the company. As a side note, I've also been wondering how often the brush should be replaced if anyone has any thoughts on that.

I sanitized with clorox followed by a really good rinsing. Worked fine - the kit is really good!

I use Scrubbing Bubbles or Lysol Spray for the bathroom. Neither one bothers it. I love this toilet seat.

I completely agree with the person who recommend the Works Original from Walmart. Before you use it also buy from Walmart (in the toilet cleaner area) a pumie (pumice) stick. Use that on the hard water stains first and after that use the Works. I also purchased some the Works drop in tablets and my toilet looks brand new after 2 years of trying everything recommended to remove hard water stains.

I've been using lysol/clorox wipes on it for about 6 months. I use it in my kid's room so it gets messy. I haven't had any issues with residue or discoloration.

Really? B.M. is asking about toilet seat wipes. OK. I'll answer. Yes. I use Chlorox wipes on my toilet seat. They work just fine (no damage to the seat). Sometimes, I dry the lid with a piece of t.p. after I use the Chlorox wipe so it doesn't leave streaks.

I wouldn't use any harsh cleaner that may damage the shield. Liquid dish soap is the harshest cleaner I've used on any of my covers

I guess I haven't heard or seen of the paint issue. I use mine pretty often and I love it, but I wrap the top and bottom with cling wrap and also use the patty paper so I don't have to clean it. The times I have cleaned it I did it in the sink only, I'm not sure what the dishwasher would do.

It should be cleaned occasionally. But I do not think that it contacts water in the bowl. Perhaps different toilets yield different results; or maybe different users produce different results. As to how to clean it, I would think that detergent and water would be a good way. I don't know what the best way would be.

Good question! I got some on the sink and had to scrub with bathroom cleaner. That's a definite drawback of the product.

If I remember correctly, the instructions said to clean it with a "soft" cleanser...something like soft scrub.
