We use hydrogen peroxide in the cleaning business to kill bacteria, mold, and mildew in bathrooms and all over the house. I've switched over to using it in toilets to clean them. Then I finish it off by wiping down the entire outside of the unit with isopropyl alcohol. We run an air purifier with a HEPA filter in each room while we are cleaning. I find the H2O2 gets rid of stubborn mold like you would not believe!

Well, get this if you want to and you can be in the latest studies on the "hygiene hypothesis".

As for myself I will continue with the once a month soapy water to clean the toilet.

Clean is not really the right word. I have a ultraviolet light that I use to purify the air in the bathroom. Ultraviolet does not kill bacteria, it effects the DNA so that it can not reproduce itself. So the bacteria may die off, but ultraviolet needs to be used in combination with a hepa filter that actually filters the bacteria and irritants out of the air. Ultraviolet light may keep something from getting dirty, but it does not clean it once the dirt is there. There is research being done in hospitals using ultraviolet light to deal with various disease causing bacteria.
