When ever I have a dump in anyone elses toilet there's never any need to use
the toilet brush afterwards. In my own newly installed pan, however, I always get a mud-like adhesion to the surface which takes a bit of scrubbing off and re-flushing. Is there anything I could use to "season" the pan surface (Like you do with a new Wok) so the ****e doesn't stick so readily? Any constructive replies appreciated Thanks The Major |

Any constructive replies appreciated Thanks The Major Probably the shape of the toilet pan. With these low-water flush things, there is less and less target area, and in fact toilets are becoming pretty useless. But your new pan may have some residue from a sticker or something on it from the manufacturers. Just clean it and make sure it is smooth and polished (the bowl that is). Or try sitting further back so you have a clear path to water (so to speak). Simon. |

The glaze surface on the inner pan is probably very thin ie the roughness of the cast is ust protruding the glaze enough for ****e to grip the surface and stay there. basically you chose cheapness over quality. |

Thanks Simon - previous respondees have not bothered to read my post, or don't understand English, or assumed it's spam. the point is that I only have the problem at home, regardles of curry or roughage, even "bullseyes" leave residue below the water level. Very inconvenient. My Mum taught me to lay a sheet of paper over the water surface to stop splashes hitting you, but not how to combat 'pan skids'. The Major |

The Major Clean the pan,feel the outer surface of the pan and then feel the inner area of the pan if its not as smooth as the outer glaze then its a surfire bet its a poorly glazed bog and nothing will stop the ****e adhereing to the surface ie a new bog of quality will only suffice. Bugger all to do with what Simon said,Ive never known Manufactureres to put stickers inside the pan? outside yes. |

Like teapots that wont pour without dribbling, the reason lies in the hydrodynamics. The water comes rushing down the pan and jumps over a certain area that is EXACTLY where a soft crap gets lodged. My one modern cheap pan with no pretensions to 'style', doesn't do this. |

Any constructive replies appreciated Thanks The Major Probably the shape of the toilet pan. I'd second that. I bought a fairly compact pan that doesn't extend out too far from the wall for one of our bathrooms. Ever since day 1 it's needed post-use scrubbing because of the shape of the back of the pan. It's not the sort of thing that's easy to test in the show room. Well, not twice anyway. ;-) Tim |

Many low water usage system seem to place the water trap nearer the front of the pan, meaning that the drop zone is now onto the pan and not the water.

These have a specific shelf so that you can inspect "product" for worms before flushing. All this being exacerbated by the low flush volumes currently fashionable of course. Which is why there is an aroma in many German city streets during the summer. Inadequate volumes of water going through the sewers to remove the tolies. |

FWIW per the other responses, the glaze looked fine on ours - it just seems to like skidmarks more than the local racetrack. |

Nah, it's a relic of the German (& I guess Dutch) passion for pork. At one time, worm infestation in pork was quite high and these pans were devised by the Germans I believe to enable one to inspect one's poo for evidence of worms. Tim |

Is there anything I could use to "season" the pan surface (Like you do with a new Wok) so the ****e doesn't stick so readily? We've just had one fitted - I feel your pain - ours does the same. One minor issue I can see us having is the missus vehemently hates bog brushes - i've had to rescue ours at least 3 times since she stuck it out with the rest of the old fittings for disposal... Mine too... except her difficulty with that is that she hates second-hand skidmarks even more. David My wife won't have a bog brush in the house either. Real Domestos always seems to fix any problems (not imitation stuff). What about trying to "season" it by rubbing some soap onto the offending surface. I also find that a drop of washing up liquid in the cistern leaves the pan sparkling and slippy. |

With these low-water flush things, there is less and less target area, and in fact toilets are becoming pretty useless. Seconded When looking for a new pan, I specifically looked for a model with a near vertical inner back face. Many modern offerings have a fair slope on the rear face which it would be difficult to avoid when lowering "product". You should see some of the Dutch and German ones - older models. * These have a specific shelf so that you can inspect "product" for worms before flushing. Yes, they have them in Romania too. When using one you reliase how important it is that the turd spends the minimum amount of time exposed to the air (in transit between body and water) in order to minimise odour. R |

When ever I have a dump in anyone elses toilet there's never any need to use the toilet brush afterwards. I have a teenage son ... the fact that anything actually manages to get in the bowl is a bonus. |
