Skid Marks

Can't decide which section to put this in, I have also been holding off posting it for obvious reasons. :lol:

BUT..... after a couple of Craic'ers who shall remain nameless, let all the rest of the Craic'ers into a secret on how to stop Skid Marks in your toilet bowl, I thought it had to be shared.

Simply put, you use the cross method. You lie some sheets of your favourite bum wipe in a shape of a cross and afterwards it falls down into the hole in a nice neat folded package leaving no trace of it's existence.

Now the instructions that were shared did not define whether it was a X shape or a Crucifix shape cross.

So Dave and Naomi perhaps you could enlighten us? :lol: O-)

Ally,
On reflection, I think you should ask Dave and Naomi to enlighten us on this subject of interest to us all. Better still to short circuit it, I am asking. So come on Dave and Naomi come clean and tell us the real secret please!

The story:

Dave seen it on a Motorhome website ages ago and has been a keen user of the "Cross method" for a number of years. He decided to let us craic'ers into the secret but no one wanted to post it to the forums.

Dave bet me £100 I wouldn't post it. O-) ( it was a £100 you said?)

Dave: I will be down soon for the money. Chill the Irish Carlsberg :lol:

Ah yes but... Ally, you never told us how the product you bought shapes up. Ibelieve it was a bowl liner, possible in the shape of a coffee filter.

I have often seen posts on other forums referring to them as 'landing strips'. :D

Don't use them myself as I am a great aim and open the flap as 'it' drops and close again to keep the room smelling sweet! O-)

Perhaps this is TOO much information ! :devil: :devil: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

That would be an ecumenical matter!

Another fix to the skid marks when you don't get the prior warning (the wrecker didn't warn us, but was more of a surprise to him too) he is potty training though,

I used the shower hose and turned the spray pattern to the middle so it was like a jet of water,

Ta daa.....like a mini power washer, clean bowl in seconds :up:
