Welcome to Hive account@blanchy's post of the week. A new weekly curation segment that I have always wanted to do. There are many many daily posts on Hive but I want to select one post per week and talk about it. The post I select will be given 1 HBI share as a credit to their interesting post. They will also get a 100% vote from me , Hive account@blanchy, which is worth a princely sum of tuppance. The roadmap is that you in turn will upvote this post so it gets the credit it deserves.

And this weeks post of the week is from a little known man on the Hive Blockchain called Hive account@nsigo1. The title of the post grabbed me in.

A Home Is Never Complete Without a Comfortable Restroom. Cleaning my Restroom

A link to the excellent post is here

First of all the title and photo dragged me in. A home is indeed never complete without a comfortable throne. Here here. It has to be comfortable and the latest Japanese models have under bowl heating.

Process

We follow Hive account@nsigo1 through the process of washing his jacksie which is a very important part of home cleanliness.

"The foul smell that comes out from the toilet is an indication of a dirty toilet." Hive account@nsigo1 2025

Never a truer word said by the post author Hive account@nsigo1 . I was waiting for a jacks cleaning post as in my family I am the designated bathroom cleaner. Now the foul smell is mostly mine so this is why it is my job. I have never actually seen my wife go to the toilet for anything other than a wee. She's like a cat that way and would hold it until one is out of the house like a lady.

Using a dirty toilet poses a high risk of coming down with infections which can eventually cause serious health complications if left untreated. Hive account@nsigo1 2025

Again the author gets to the crocs of the issue where other authors would be too scared to go to.
I once got pink eye from a toilet seat at a concert so I nodded enthusiastically when Hive account@nsigo1 made this point. The line may seem obvious to some but it has to be mentioned. Hive account@nsigo1 does this subtly but firmly. This avoids judging the reader who may have a manky toilet but makes sure the reader does address the cleanliness of their latrine. What threw me off guard a bit in this photo was the question about where the door is. Do you have to hop over the shower to do a poo? Or does Hive account@nsigo1 have the narrowest door on the planet if entry is in front of the toilet. The author leaves this conundrum open to interpretation more eager to focus on the cleaning of the bog than the architecture of the bathroom itself. Also I was intrigued around who took the photo of Hive account@nsigo1 mid clean.
Was it the wife or girlfriend on a stool?
Was it a camera on timer??
Was it his mother who was checking up whether he got rid of the foul smell that he had made??

Also in his first photo Hive account@nsigo1 has a Mona Lisa smile. He's not smiling that he is cleaning his shitter as nobody is but he is not against it either. He is content. I would have the same facial expression cleaning my toilet but with headphones in and listening to a sports podcast.

Items

But what will you clean the toilet with you ask. Fear not , Hive account@nsigo1 has this covered which is to be expected.

Now one of my post of the week's rules is to knock some marks off for the effective use of the BOLD and a textbook error on Hive is to leave a space after the word which does not bold the item that was meant to be **bolded **. Hive account@nsigo1 made an error here naming his Items he uses to clean his toilet. I was a bit disappointed by this as it is a 100/100 post if this simple error was not made. 100/100 would compel me to ring Hive account@accelerator personally to give you a 100% upvote which comes to a few hundred euro. You were soooooooo close Hive account@nsigo1 . But it will be a lesson learnt for your shower cleaning post next week.

But something tells me Hive account@nsigo1 meant to leave the gap in the bold to so that the asterix symbolises an actually toilet brush. I came to that conclusion after I had read the "Antiseptics and Others “ section . He used a complex illiteration here which was proof that this guy is actually a word smith. "Antiseptics and" , "additional agents" . Wow , just wow. Bravo my friend.

The photo of the detergent really threw me off as in Ireland this packaging would usually contain the toilet roll itself but no, this was his detergent. Another curveball twist thrown in. Also when I clean my toilet I usually use a bit of toilet Duck and there is nothing I enjoy more than going under the rim with the specialised twisty lid. I give mine a scrub with a toilet brush and bob's your mothers brother. But the author kept me guessing. He not only uses detergents but "Antiseptics and Other". The "other" keeps us guessing and does not reveal everything which is the authors right not to reveal all his secrets. It did notice "Freshness of petals" on the detergent which leads me to think he probably put a nice smelling destabilizer or candle in his bathroom but if I ever see him, I shall ask him. But I will not force him to give away all his trade secrets. I wouldn't do this to a proud man. He is after giving us enough!

Steps

If this post was not as compelling enough. Hive account@nsigo1 makes the point of cleaning his jacksie every 2 days!!!

Every 2 days???? Excuse me if I come across crass but how many shits is this per clean? I'm a one poo a day man at 10.30am right after the morning coffee. Sometimes 2 if I had a feed of Guinness. Let's say 4 shits for pig iron. If there are 2 in the family that's 8 shits. 2 kids. That's 16 shits. Fair enough I suppose. The prosecution has no further questions and the defendant is free to go. I'm a once a week toilet clean man myself but I maintain the back after ever "round" if you get me. Anyway interestinger and interestinger!!

Hive account@nsigo1 applies bleach to target the stubborn dirt which tells me he is not a toilet brush after flush man. Skid marks remain until the 48 hour cleaning cycle. This is different to my method. This is not to slight Hive account@nsigo1 and his method. But it is intriguing. Maybe this is why he needs the "Antiseptic and Other"

"I make sure not to concentrate only on the water cistern but also pay equal attention to other part"
[Round of Applause] Exactly Hive account@nsigo1 exactly. My son widdles over the edge of the bowl so I have to clean the outside of the toilet as well as the inside. I give the cistern a wipe also for dust. Hive account@nsigo1 completes his post saying he scrubs the wall tiles and floors as well which is quite a large bombshell at the end. He uses cacophony here using the harsh consonants to top off his masterpiece.
Bravo Hive account@nsigo1 bravo.

The post itself was rewarded $3.83. There is no toilet cleaning community so OCDB did it's job and upvotes anything that is not a specific community. Well done for them. Someone in OCDB cleans their toilet as well but this post should be in the $20 region. The author even does a Spanish version of the post to spread the word about how to properly clean your lavatory.

This weeks post was so hard to pick. There were so many great posts to choose from. Such as this one that features a little baby toe merging into a 4th toe. But the toilet cleaning post won out in the end.

Tune in next week for my next Hive account@blanchy's post of the week.
