Cleaning a potty after poop is a simple process involving rinsing, disinfecting, and drying. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Empty the Potty: Carefully dispose of the contents into the toilet.
-
Rinse Thoroughly:
- Use the toilet or a nearby faucet to rinse the potty bowl with hot water, ensuring all traces of poop are removed.
- Pour the rinse water into the toilet and flush.
-
Disinfect:
- Spray the entire potty, inside and out, with a disinfectant cleaner. Ensure you are using a product safe for the potty material (usually plastic).
- Important: Let the disinfectant sit for the recommended time (usually 3-5 minutes, but check the product label) to effectively kill germs. This dwell time is crucial.
-
Wipe and Dry:
- Use a paper towel or cleaning cloth to thoroughly wipe the potty bowl dry.
- Ensure there's no remaining disinfectant residue.
-
Replace: Return the clean and dry potty bowl to its base.
By following these steps, you can effectively clean and disinfect the potty after each use, ensuring good hygiene for your child.
