Rather than deal with these low flush toilets, I have taken to using the shower nozzle to reach over and get them clean. Sometimes I like to stand there, rinsing the toilet with what amounts to a lawn hose, for several minutes wasting as much water as I can, cursing Al Gore...here we are, I have to get a hose to clean my flush toilet...
I recycle all my water; it comes from a well on one side of my property and goes into a septic tank on the other side of my property.
Four of the largest bodies of fresh water on the surface of the earth lap up on the shores of my state.
Why do I have to use water-conserving appliances?
What a great idea, I will have to try it!!!
“Sometimes I like to stand there, rinsing the toilet with what amounts to a lawn hose...”
Yep. The guy in me claims I do that too...

Some years ago we needed to replace the toilets that had been in the house since it had been built. My husband went up to Canada (we live in the Seattle area) to get the toilets. At that time, Canada still had the regular toilets; and, I don’t know if they still do as it has been a while. I have always figured that if we ever move, we take the toilets with us.
Try a litre size bottle of Coke. Pour it in and let it sit a bit then flush. My grandad used brake fluid. Toilet came out spotless white. Not sure if EPA will bust ya for using that.
You really think only housewives deal with toilets?
I do stuff like that too. It gives me a perverse sense of pleasure. (:
