While you're at it, pour some bleach into the cistern so that unreachable parts also get a dose over the next couple of flushes.
Yes, I did think about doing that Dex - but then wondered about leaving standing bleach in when he probably won't be going back ie wondering if it could harm the cistern or rubbers or something.

Re: Dirty Toilet
Pesta, I know what it looks like, I think we are all thinking along the same lines, but I am not absolutely positive.May I ask if you or your daughter are likely to visit this man in hospital?
If so, would it be too insensitive to ask him if he has been putting anything down the loo (other than the usual)?
It looks a bit like Creosote or fence paint, and I am a bit worried about pouring bleach on top of an existing chemical as it can create nasty fumes.
Another thought is, bleach alone does kill germs as we all know, but it also 'bleaches' surfaces white, which could mean it would only bleach the stain white but not remove it if it is scaled up.
I think I would want to be sure what it is before I touched it to be honest, and maybe as others have suggested, get a cleaning firm in as they would likely know what's best.

). If you're worried, nip back in a few days and flush it.

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).

Bleach from Aldi, for quid (ish) will fix that in a jiffy.
