Toilet seat stains?

Hi there new here. I have an elderly client who gets poop everywhere on the toilet seat. I don't typically use bleach but this is a heavy artillery job. Clorox cleanup fumes r killing me and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on how to get residual poop stains that leave behind almost an orange residue off the toilet seat without using something that burns my eyes, nose and throat from the fumes. Thank you.

The client can purchase disposable toilet seat protectors, like the ones found in some public bathrooms (from Amazon). Even though they say "flushable" absolutely do not flush them.

Use any cleaner that does not asphyxiate you, then leave the bathroom. The owner needs to purchase a few new toilet seats to eliminate the "residual stains" he's put on the old one. How ridiculous that people are so penny wise and pound foolish! Its not your job to scrub away years of stains on HIS toilet seat, just to ensure its clean. This does not require bleach or ammonia either, just soap and water. Put yourself first here because no job is worth your life.

Good luck to you.

Is this a wooden seat? If so ask family if they could switch to plastic because of this problem. Some Clorox wipes under the sink and all clean.
