Sorry if this is a duplicate, thanks in advance!

I am trying to clean up under the rim of my toilet near where the jets are, and I can't reach a finger or rigid brush up there.

There may be a better way, but does anyone know whether there is a tool like the one described in the subject line above? I am looking for something that I could reach through the narrow slit between the rim and wall of the toilet, then scrape across the surface.

Thank you!

    There are kitchen spatulas that are flexible. If you can't find one the right size, you could cut one down to size. There are also plastic putty knives. Or, wrap a thin scouring pad over a putty knife.

  • It sounds like a flexible brush like a test tube cleaner might work.

  • Another trick if you have hard water deposits: pour vinegar straight down the tank overflow tube and then wait a few hours. Next, use the test tube brush @MatthewGauthier mentions on the rim holes.

  • once you use a steam cleaner, you won't ever consider another method of cleaning disgusting soiled crannys in non-porous surfaces; it blasts the gunk right out without elbow grease or precision movements.
