Totally weird question, but I've been wondering. My 2 year old has not yet put anything INTO the potty chair, but it's there for use whenever he's ready! Anyway, when he does manage to pee or poop in the chair, what do I do? I know I dump the goods into the toilet, but what do you moms do to finish the cleaning job after that? I don't really want to clean it in the kitchen sink - yuck! Is that what you guys do? Thanks for the tips!
I cleaned mine in the bath tub....we gave up on the potty chair idea not long after we started potty training. We went for a potty seat and a stool. We got a seat that was basically one piece, so dribbles didn't seep in the creases. I rinsed and washed that in the tub as well. Good luck.
I used the lysol wipes for each use and then vinigar water solution to clean the whole thing.
my two year old pours it into the potty and then I rinse it in the bathroom sink. I also clean it out with a lysol wipe every couple times as well as well as the sink.
We dump the stuff, swish some water around and dump it, and spray with Lysol. My 2yo does the dumping and rinsing himself and I come around later with the disinfecting spray. Since he is proactive about helping with the icky stuff, I taught him to sing the alphabet while he washes his hands so they get totally clean.
Hi Amy:
I always put the bowl from the potty under the faucet in the tub and put some water in and swished it a little then dump it in the toilet. Since this has to happen several times a day just a quick rinse works quite well. I would say once a day or two put a little bleach water in the bowl, swish, dump, rinse and put back. I also found that if I leave a little water in the bottom of the bowl and the little one goes poo and we don't get to empty it right away the water keeps the poo from sticking in the bowl.
I'm pretty sure this is going to be repetitive, but I used to dump the waste in the toilet, rinse it in the tub and wipe it out with a Clorox wipe right away.

I keep lysol wipes in the bathroom. After I've dumped it I wipe it out with the wipes and it is fresh and clean for the next use.
I use flushable wipes and some bathroom cleaner in the bathroom after she does her business and then throw that in the big potty. :)
Amy,
If there is just pee in the potty, after I dump it into the toilet, I rinse it with water from the bathroom sink and dump that water into the toilet. If they poop, I dump it and rinse, just like pee, but if there is anything left over, I clean it out with a wipe! Easy as 1-2-3! Sometimes my son manages to pee between the cup and the rest of the potty chair. In that case I just throw the whole thing in the tub and wash it out.
Good luck!

I would put some water from the bath faucet in it and dump that in the toilet to flush. Then I would take a clorox wipe and wipe it out.
With my granddaughters potty chair here, I always dump it, swish some water in it and dump that then use a clorax wipe to clean the bowl and the seat at least once a day and always after she goes poop. Those clorax clean up wipes are a God send with little ones around, you don't know how lucky you have it now days..lol
We dump it in the toilet, fill up w/ hot water from the sink....dump that in the toilet and then use wet wipes. After that we spray it w/ Lysol quick - - just because kids love to use potty chairs for things other than pottying also! :-)
