Okay my two boys and my bigger boy obviously don't know how to go to the bathroom in the toilet. I've cleaned the toilet over and over again and around the toilet and on the tile, but now I see that urine is behind the toilet on the wall near the baseboard. I can see that the baseboard has gotten warped. I know I'm going to have to take the baseboard off and put a new one on but my question to you is how do I clean the wall/baseboard area before I put a new baseboard on? I was thinking of using straight bleach on that whole area and let it soak into the wall for a day or two or something?

I just read this entire thread, and I've got to share this: I wish I had known during my first marriage what I learned from my second husband. He is absolutely immaculate and leaves absolutely no residue behind. His mother taught him that before he flushes he must clean up any spray or misses by using toilet tissue to wipe the rim of the bowl, or anything else. It's a habit that serves him well. Never is there any residue where it's not supposed to be. Every boy needs to be held responsible to leave no tracks behind. If you are tall and 'spray', then just sit down. Why should the wives and mothers be the ones who clean up after carelessness and bad habits? Or... can someone invent something that is better engineered for the male anatomy's convenience?
My husband worked for a company whose offices were in a former home. The company was owned by men. One day they had a meeting with the men and told that toilets were designed for sitting and urinals for standing. Since there were no urinals, the men were expected to sit.
I enjoy entertaining but I hate the idea that men drip and dribble or just plan miss, spreading urine about my home. Toilets are not meant for standing, despite the customs of the western world. There are designed for sitting, that's why they have a seat. The seat lifts up to make it easier to clean. It is not so men can spray it with urine.
My husband pees into an old plastic quart jar. Then he pours it out in the yard, or into the toilet. Then he rinses the jar. Eventually the jar gets ugly and he recycles it. Works fine!
Hate to tell everyone this, but I bought a ultraviolet flashlight for illuminating scorpions. (they light up bright green under the light), while looking for them in the bathroom I saw to my horror what I thought was an immaculate commode and area was full of splatter. (black light also lights up dried urine). If you want to see what a mess you have (even with a careful husband who wipes up after his use) try this flashlight.
BRILLIANTLY SAID!!! OMG! Yes, yes, you should post this on some public FB page or in a newspaper or send an email to a TV station!! It's a nightmare!!!
Regarding men and NOT hitting the mark. It is healthier for their bladder to sit. When one sits the bladder tilts therefore enabling full emptying.
This article amazes me & I'm posting to FB. How many man filled homes are there, all with invisible spots. Amazon here I come-On grossly intrigued to lurk where no ones gone b4. Snappy a swer/info!
Best info yet. Was actually seeking help removing urine stain from cutest blouse in closet (rodent) whilst stumbling upon urine of a different source. Hey, Amazon...I've got to see what is lurking in regular light. UV here I come-thanks!
That's how I am and how I raised my boys. I made a full-sized wall sign in print shop that says;
"If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie"
This is disgusting. Just build an outhouse for him. Why have a nice modern bathroom? Is it female only.
