2 Let the solution stand a few minutes

Use this time to clean the seat, lid and outside of the bowl with an all-purpose cleaner and a sponge, cloth, or paper towels.

Paper towels are simplest - no rinsing is needed and there's no chance of spreading germs, as you'll toss out the towels immediately after use.

3 Flush.

This will rinse away any lingering cleaner in the bowl.
