Okay all, I asked my husband to clean the toilet this morning. We have one of those toilet wands with the disposable tops so he didn't have to use a bottle of cleaner. I come into the bathroom and he has pretty much painted the underside of the seat blue saying this is how you are suppose to clean it. I told him its toiled "bowl" cleaner not for use cleaning the seat or lid. He argued that its find to do. Even though the toilet looked like Picasso in his blue period. Can someone tell me who is right in this?
 
there is an old saying, 'you can either ask him to do it or tell him how you will do it.' You can't do both. Just be happy he's doing it at all.
 
The way I see it, he did more work them less. Yes, its a bit overboard and not the proper cleaner for the seat but it's really clean now, isn't it?
Pick your battles, its not worth it. At least he cleaned the toilet!
 
You're both right.

Toilet bowl cleaner is safe on all porcelain surfaces.

It's also a waste of money to use it on the outside of the bowl, which does not need the same heavy cleaning power as the inside.

If this is the biggest issue in you marriage, you're laughing.
 
You do it your way and let him do it his - it's a toilet, it is not the end of the world.
I am pretty sure that a chemical strong enough to clean your toilet bowl will work just fine on the seat as well.
Seriously, as long as the toilet is getting cleaned, why make a big deal of it?
 
Who cares who is right or wrong i think that is the most stupid thing i have ever heard of a married couple or any couple for that matter to fight about.
 
I agree with the first several people, but I have to add that I have an objection to your opening question, in which you state that your husband is arguing over the right way. No, he did the chore, and then YOU started the argument by complaining about his work. If you'd said nothing, would there have been an argument? No. Case closed.
 
You're arguing, not him. He did the chore and you didn't like how he did it. In my house as long as the chore gets done, I don't care if the person doing it wore ballerina slippers and sang operatic curse words the entire time. It got done, less for me to do. All you had to do was say "Great job. Don't forget to wipe it off. Thank you!", but you chose to complain. Now don't go griping when he won't attempt more chores!
