How can I keep my bathroom clean with small boys?

I have all boys - many of them- so when they stand to urinate, I inevitably have splash back on the walls! Is there a toilet that will help or ideas to help? Thanks ahead of time!

    Make the older ones do the cleaning...they will start policing each other and the younger ones. It doesn't matter if they do a lousy job and you have to redo it. Just make sure they are experiencing the full gross consequences of their bathroom actions.

  • Use vinegar to clean. And make them do it ! haha!

    so there is no solution as far as a special toilet or anything? a splash guard or something? I have acrylic on the walls and wearing gloves, clean that in the shower but there has to be a solution. The boys do clean their own bathroom and just blame each other so I am done with that - tried to get them to sit and that was a no go as well....just looking for a DIY project that may help

    You could install an actual urinal. They are designed specifically for the guys but I can't say that the splash effect is improved. I've been in unisex bathrooms that had urinals and thought they were disgusting and smelly. You might have to ask some janitors at your school what they think.

    This is where Cheerios come in handy. Throw one in the toilet and have them try to hit it with their spray! They love this and are SO proud when they're able to hit the Cheerio in the hole!

    Make them clean the bathroom! Not that it's going to improve their aim but they might think about it!
