I don't think anyone is going to put cleaning toilets on their list of favorite things to do, but keeping the commode looking and smelling nice doesn't have to be a total drag.
First off, I will say "thank goodness" for indoor plumbing. I have used an outhouse before, and I did not enjoy it one bit. In fact, I cried, because I was a little kid, and I thought my aunt was making me use the dog's potty. The old hound dog was sitting beside the outhouse, so that's where I got that idea.
