How hard is to to use and clean a toilet? Do what you need to do, flush and a quick wipe over. Job done!
some people are filthy.

Limescale comes up a lot in the replies. Thanks everyone, but we live in a lovely soft water area up here, so I'm really not convinced it is that. But perhaps I'm wrong about limescale only being in a hard water area?

Consequently, I would feel very wary of flushing it unless I knew it was clear, otherwise it might all 'rise up' again.

There were ashes from the fire halfway across the living room floor and years old Xmas cake in the cupboards, he'd had one slice from each.
Only good thing about it was we found £13,000 stashed away! Had to hand it in though!
Be careful, we like you!
Oh I say, all that money... now you see it, now you're gone - what a bummer.
I'm not taking my potty there and putting it on that floor - I'd rather squat on the pavement I'll be suited and booted, masked up, pegged nose and gloved ... breathtaking times ahead

He's in hospital at the mo and we're going armed with cleaning stuff and bin bags and nose pegs.
In the first instance, I was thinking of squirting a shed load of Domestos around it and leaving it for a good while.
I'm just so confused what it is (as I say I haven't seen it in person - yet).

If this fails, chuck the lot out and get another (which is what I would probably do. Good luck.
