If you just clean it thoroughly with normal bleach it should be clean enough. Many pathogens in general don't like to "stick" too well to non-porous surfaces. You can disinfect a toilet easier than you can a carpet. It's just that usually you aren't shitting on your own carpeting lol!
Do you know of any way to test afterward to see if the toilet water is clean enough? It would be great to know for sure.
If you're this paranoid about it then maybe look for a different fetish ๐
I care about people's safety, okay? ๐
After talking with a friend and hearing the helpful answers here, I'm probably okay just cleaning the bowl and tank super thoroughly and leaving it at that.
If you really want to know, send a water sample to an analytical lab for fecal coliform analysis. Should run you less than $50.
Youโd have to send it to a lab.
Bleach is literally going to kill everything in there. The bottle says 99.99% of bacteria and viruses only for legal reasons. Really it kills 100% when used properly.
Just bleach it twice, use a brand new scrubbing brush, hit the outside of the bowl and every little crevice you can see and youโll be good to go.
