When it comes to cleaning the toilet, people generally use some kind of disinfecting product, many of which contain bleach. But should you clean a wooden toilet seat the same way you do porcelain or plastic seats? Wood is porous, which means you need to be extra careful cleaning it; bacteria can be absorbed into the seat and not just remain on the surface. However, wood is also a somewhat delicate surface. Bleach can lighten the wood, which is most likely something you aren't planning to do to your toilet seat. The best product to clean wooden toilet seats with is a mild detergent, such as dish soap.
