Toilet question

The golden question. A skid mark on the bowel - your cleaning schedule becomes a moot point.
Once a week. The water can contain microbes that can grow in stagnant water. Doesn't need a big clean. Squirt of cleaner. Quick swirl of the brush over all. Then flush.
2 minutes added on to the dusting really.

Unless you have the canine tendency of drinking from the toilet, then you should only have to clean it when it looks dirty - no need for a set cleaning schedule. Eg: You have a clean break bowel movement that flushes nicely without any nasty skid marks. No problem - carry on with your life. Eg2: You have explosive diarrhea during which you "spray paint" the bowl and under the seat. Get your cleaning brush, immediately. The other thing (if you've ever been married) is that when you take a pee, wipe off any splash marks before they dry out especially if they are on the seat (eg: you were too lazy to lift it). If you DO lift the seat - remember to lower it for your lady friends.
Alterhnatively - to save on water, cleaning, even toilet paper - just go to your local McDonalds and ask to use their facilities - and ask while holding a bunch of napkins. After last week, chances are they will say "Yes".

Thanks for sharing!
BTW - Less dense fecal matter (floaters) may indicate excess gas. Do you fart a lot? Maybe look at altering your diet. Alternatively, save some gas for a "Dutch Oven" for your lady friends while you're getting an "under the covers" BJ.
BTW, from your OP - you only take 4 - 5 craps a week? Or is that 4 - 5 craps a week in your house (with more at other locations)? This is an important health question. If you suffer from irregularity, try Metamucil. Awesome stuff. Tasty and the next day you'll have a massively impressive stool.
You should get one of those fancy TOTO Japanese toilets. Has an air deodorizer and some models are self-cleaning. Plus, heated seats, warm or cool water bidet, air dryer, self-raising seat, built in light for nighttime... That’s what I’m getting for my new place. You only get one ass, folks.
Yes - You can tell a lot about a person by their bowel movements, as well as their reactions to the same. LOL!
Well, of course not! That is yours and yours alone!
Just as the dominant alpha male lion eats the tastiest gazelle and as the alpha male chimp chooses the choicest and most succulent coconuts, a MAN with true leadership character will abrogate the best and most honourable toilet to himself and let his women content themselves with the lesser toilets.
Yes, I've been shopping for one for my never ending bathroom reno. They're not cheap, but if you consider that the gentle caress of the spray on your anus is not dissimilar to getting rimmed - maybe I'll amortize the cost in terms of current hourly rates... at least that's how I plan to rationalize it. You also need an electrical outlet right by your toilet which may add to the installation. But then you save on toilet paper....
Japanese tend to be obsessed with bodily functions, evacuation of various products of digestion, and of course cleanliness. When I worked in Japan (early in my career) Toto came out with a device that had the sound of a toilet flushing when you pressed the button. Believe it or not - this was a water saving device. In women's washrooms, many Japanese women would be embarrassed by flatulence or the sound of a brown bomb dropping into the toilet (SPLAT, since back then, Japanese toilets were mainly squatters - so your shit just fell onto dry porcelain until you flushed). So to disguise their sounds (from other Japanese women) many would flush multiple times while doing their business. So Toto came up with this device that was installed in a lot of public washrooms - so women could fake flush to mask their sounds, thus saving valuable water. Now if I were the designer I would have had the sound of a moose calling, or a klaxon horn, or the "Sad Trombone". Fortunately, I don't design toilets.
Okay Al Bundy !!! Things are much different in real life when you are living with a woman, suddenly your throne now becomes theirs no matter how much you try ... women will get the toilet they want, just like the closet space and the new kitchen etc. But if they don't like it they will get you to change it. Shared facilities may work but it's the two bathroom solution that works best you can sort out square footage, another losing cause later.
Btw, clean once a week, when company comes over or when stains are present.

I’ve actually spent a fair bit of time in Japan over the years, myself. I’d usually have one of the Toto toilets in my hotel room, and I was certainly a fan. I knew I was going to have to have one one day. They’re expensive, yes, but it’s an investment. You spend a lot of time on the toilet, you don’t want to cheap out.
As a professional cleaner in my regular life, I recommend once a week. If it's a toilet you don't use much(like only a few times a week) then you probably only need to clean the bowl every week, unless there's splatter on the underside of the toilet seat. You don't want the water just sitting there with germs growing in it. Fully clean minimally used toilets every couple weeks (full top to bottom clean including the floor around). Just a tip, don't mop bathroom floors using the mop you use on the rest of the house. I find that to be incredibly gross unless you have a mop with a machine washable head. Wash bathroom floors by hand with rags. Use separate rag for the floor around the toilet
