teach me... how to clean a toliet

I know this is SO random, but I really need to be better at this. I am good with cleaning the bowl and the top of the tank but the rest of it not so much. I wish I could just spay it down with the hose or something. So how do you clean the seats, behind the seat part of the base and the outside of the base? It just seems like there are so many little spots for dirt and grime and it always looks dusty and grimy. What cleaning product do you use and do you use rags or paper towel?

I spray down the toilet with Lysol spray. The top, the tank, all parts of the seat, that part behind the seat between the tank and seat (the dust gathering spot you see) and the front side of the bowl.
Then I wipe them down from cleanest to dirtiest. So top of toilet seat, the front of tank, top of tank, the outside of bowl, rest of seat etc. I can usually get it all done with 1 rag but sometimes use 2 if the rag gets really dirty. I find the key is the order of wiping if you start with the dirtiest parts first then you just smear the rest with grime and dust!
Hope that makes some sense! We have 4 toilets here so I've got the routine down pat!!
Lol, I tried to convince my dh to do it, but it was a no go. He does clean the bathtub though because it is really deep and I am short and it's just ackward.
I will try sprayingit and using paper towels. One would think if I did it more often it wouldn't be so gross right?
Another random question : Where do you keep your plunger? Ours is in the bathroom beside the towel and I hate it being there but we have a 4 storey backsplit so keeping it in the basement doesn't seem like the best place or it either.
