It's OK to put bleach in the toilet tank if you are simply cleaning out the toilet tank and will be flushing and cleaning the bleach out of the toilet tank.
However it's not OK to put bleach in the toilet tank and leave it there as it could corrode the chains and other metal such as the brass bolts and also cause damage to the rubber seals.
To clean a badly stained toilet pour some bleach into the toilet and scrub it around the toilet bowl.
Then allow the bleach to sit for 10 to 30 minutes and then scrub the stain in the toilet bowl again.
Then flush the toilet and repeat if necessary.
You can also use vinegar and baking soda to clean the badly stained toilet.

Allow it to sit for 10 minutes or so and then use a toilet brush to scrub the toilet.
You can put CLR in your toilet tank which will help prevent and remove stains and mineral buildup in the toilet bowl and toilet tank.
The pink on the toilet seat is caused by bacteria in the air that grows with the moisture in the bathroom and around the toilet.

Then scrub the stains and wipe the toilet seat with a cloth that is dipped in some clean and warm water.
You may have to repeat this process a few times depending on how badly yellowed the toilet seat is.
Toilet seats turn yellow due to hard water that splashes upwards onto the underside of the toilet seat and then as the water evaporates it leaves behind limescale also known as mineral deposits.
As that limescale builds up it leads to a yellow tinge that ends up damaging the surface of the toilet seat and causing it to yellow.

A jet wash known as the shiffter or steam cleaning a toilet bowl is more hygienic than a toilet brush.

Western toilets have 2 lids to reduce and prevent the spread of bacteria and keep the bathroom clean.
The 2 lid western toilets are also useful for keeping pets and babies out of toilets.
When flushing any toilet with a lid you should close the lid before flushing the toilet to prevent the spread of fecal matter and bacteria.
The reason public toilets do not have lids is because they are not necessary and they are costly to replace and would need to be replaced more often in a public restroom.
Hinges of toilet lids in public restrooms would get too much use and break more often so they don't have lids on the public toilets.
The gap at the front of public toilet seats is to make it easier for women to wipe after peeing.
