Can you give me suggestions for cleaning behind a toilet?

I have 2 boy's who give me extra housework when cleaning the bathroom. It is a tiled area and the grout is a nightmare to clean along with the tiles, I swear they aim at them. Can you suggest an easy to clean 'wall' in this area?

    my pal found toilet bowl cleaner also cleaned her tile grout! I'd test to see how it affects yours in a small inconspicuous area before going whole hog.

    You can use an enzyme cleaner that they sell for pets. (eg. Nature's Miracle). Let it sit on the grout for several hours with a warm wet towel over the whole area. This will "eat" the urine from the grout. You may want to do this a couple of times. Once you have the grout cleaned of lingering odors and it is thoroughly dry, seal the grout. This will prevent urine and dirt from penetrating the grout and make it MUCH easier to clean.

    Clean the toilet thoroughly, turn off the water and flush till it is mostly empty. Let the surface dry for a while. Add a target decal inside the toilet (yes, such things are made for this purpose). It won't make cleaning easier, per se, but it will likely make it less of a problem since the boys will almost definitely want to aim for the target.
