Cleaning and maintenance tips for daily use
When using the toilet, it is necessary to do a good job of daily cleaning and maintenance. The purpose of this is to prolong the service life of the toilet on the one hand, and to avoid invisible bacteria from affecting health. It is best to lay a layer of napkins on the seat ring, then spray it with lemonade, cover it for a period of time, rinse and dry it, which can effectively eliminate bacteria. In addition, remember to put a no-wash automatic toilet cleaner in the toilet tank, which can play a good role in daily cleaning and sterilization.
How to Quickly Clean and Descale
For toilets that are not too dirty, you can use the mildly dirty toilet cleaning method, that is, spread toilet paper on the inner wall of the toilet one by one, then spray detergent or leftover Coke, let it stand for an hour, and then clean it. Rinse off with water, and finally scrub gently with a brush. This method not only does not need to scrub hard, but also has a very good cleaning effect.
For toilets with relatively thick dirt, you can use baking soda to descale. Before stubborn yellow rust spots develop in the toilet, use baking soda to clean frequently. Sprinkle the baking soda on the inside of the toilet and let it sit for 10 minutes, then clean it with a toilet brush. If stubborn stains have formed, it can be used with vinegar solution, soaked thoroughly and cleaned with a brush. The outer base of the toilet, which is easily overlooked, can also be cleaned in the same way and then wiped dry with a cloth. To remove stubborn stains from the toilet, use a fine steel wool ball dipped in baking soda.
Different parts are cleaned differently
Because the toilet is easily contaminated with urine stains, feces and other dirt, if it is not cleaned on weekdays, it is easy to form macular stains, and it is also easy to breed mold and bacteria. The correct steps for cleaning are to lift up the seat cushion first, and spray the inside with a toilet cleaner. After a few minutes, use a toilet brush to scrub thoroughly, and then scrub the toilet seat and other gaps. Since the water outlet on the inner edge of the toilet is a place where dirt and dirt are easy to hide, the general spray gun type toilet lavatory agent cannot spray the cleaner on this place smoothly, so it is best to use a unique duck mouth design for the toilet. Only when the agent is used can it penetrate deep into the inner edge of the toilet and remove stubborn dirt.
As for the outer base of the toilet, which is easy to be ignored by ordinary people, it should also be sprayed and scrubbed with detergent, washed with water and oil, and finally wiped dry with a clean cloth, and it will be as bright as new. Finally, put an automatic toilet cleaner into the toilet tank to do the daily cleaning, sterilization and descaling work. However, the public is reminded not to mix acidic, neutral or alkaline cleaners with different components to avoid danger due to chemical changes.
In addition, the most direct contact with people is the toilet seat cushion. When cleaning the toilet, it is necessary to disinfect the seat cushion with disinfectant or baking soda. Many people like to use hot water to clean the toilet, thinking that it will achieve a better cleaning effect. Remind these friends, do not use hot water with a temperature exceeding 60 degrees, otherwise it may cause the toilet to crack.
