I always hated this cheap plastic one we had, if you shifted it would slide around and the little feet would slide off the rim. So I went to Lowe’s and bought a wood one, then installed it. It’s much better.

    Just a warning: check what cleaners are compatible with your new toilet seat. I used the same bleach I normally use on my new wooden seat and now my toilet is all streaked and discolored because the paint was removed. I’m going to try a spray-on enamel oil-based paint at some point to try to repair (after stripping and sanding), but better to not have to do this at first.

    Most likely, I’m using stronger stuff than I need to anyway and I should switch cleaners. You shouldn’t need to clean “99.99+% of viruses and bacteria” on your personal toilet seat because you and your family will spread those to each other through other means than your butts.

      Yeah if you’re stripping paint, you might be going a little too hardcore there.

        It was just the Chlorox bathroom cleaner, so nothing that might be considered industrial strength. I think an all-purpose cleaner or maybe some Castile soap may be enough.
