Nice informative post. If we flush out our pot daily it will help to keep that clean. Try to use less toilet paper becoz it increase the toilet’s yellowness..
The only problem I see with not flushing the toilet even when it comes to the yellow stuff… is that if you leave it unflushed for too long, it begins to stain the bowl, and making it very hard to clean afterwords.
@Jean: The minerals that are found in our water as well as in our urine are the culprits of those hard to clean stains. The urine itself does have a bad smell bit will usually not stain any more than just leaving ordinary water sit in our toilets. The key is how long you leave it sitting in the toilet. If you leave the urine in their for long periods of time without flushing, it will probably be more likely to have a buildup of minerals. The stains can be difficult to clean, but I found that if you spray them with a strong vinegar solution and let it sit, they will usually come right off.
We’ve recently had different toilets fitted. They have the two buttons which create different strength flushes. With it we save water while flushing the same amount every day.
A common complaint of the low-flush toilets is that they require more frequent cleanings and clog more readily than the older toilets. I never worry about the cleaning, since toilets should be spotless all the time and I find the latest models clear the bowl with one flush and seldom clog.
You can also consider the dual flush toilets, which will utilize the full six litres of water to flush solid waste but only use three litres for liquid waste.

Thanks for the feedback!

My husband would be great at this, he never flushes the toilet. But on a serious note, this is a great idea to help the environment.
Instead of worrying about flushing so often,just pee in the sink or shower or outside if you can.
