In the bathroom, there must be a toilet, which brings a lot of convenience to our life. The toilet is easy to breed bacteria, and the toilet is the most easy to hide dirt, if the toilet is not clean, it will have an impact on our health. So in our daily life, we must pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of the toilet.
1, the toilet seat bacteria should focus on cleaning
Thirty-two percent of the toilets were found to have Bacillus dysenteriae on them. One strain, called Sonnei, lived on the seat for up to 17 days. Another study found that if 100 million polio viruses were dropped into a toilet seat, 3,000 would splash onto the seat. At the same time, many people like to put a flannelette washer on the toilet in winter, so that it is easier to absorb, retention and discharge pollutants, the possibility of spreading disease is greater. Contaminated areas such as this are the most “intimate” contact with people’s skin, so focus on cleaning, using a diluted household disinfectant every day or two. As for the cloth washer is best not to use, if you must use, should be regularly cleaned and disinfected. If you can, you might as well switch to a toilet with antibacterial and splash-proof design.
2, flushing
If the lid is opened when the toilet is flushed, a transient cyclone inside the toilet can send germs or microorganisms up to six meters into the air and stay suspended in the air for several hours, landing on walls and objects. At present, most families go to the toilet, wash and shower in the toilet, toothbrush, mouthwash cup, towel and toilet coexist in the same room, naturally easy to be contaminated by bacteria. Therefore, should develop the habit of covering the toilet seat when flushing.
The toilet is easy to be contaminated with urine stains, feces and other dirt. If it is still found after flushing, it must be cleaned up with the toilet brush in time, otherwise it is easy to form macular stains, which will also breed mold and bacteria. In addition to the near the pipe mouth, the horse bucket inner edge of the outlet and the outside of the base are dirty places. When cleaning, the toilet seat is lifted first, and the toilet cleaning agent is sprayed inside, after a few minutes, and then the toilet brush is thoroughly cleaned again, the best brush with a fine head, so that it can better clean the inner edge of the toilet and the depth of the pipe mouth. Then scrub the base and other gaps.
3, the toilet side as far as possible not set up waste paper basket
At ordinary times, you can also place gradual solution automatic toilet cleaning agent or hang wall mounted disinfection plug in the tank, and achieve the effect of cleaning, descaling, disinfection and bacteria removal by washing each time.
Most homes have a wastepaper basket next to the toilet to store used toilet paper, but this can spread bacteria through the air because few people are able to clean it up at any time, at least for a day or two, and the longer it takes, the more bacteria it grows. Toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet. As long as it’s not too thick or tough, toilet paper tends to soften quickly in water, so don’t worry about clogging. If needed, a sanitary bag will do. There is no need to set up a wastebasket. If you must use it, use one with a lid to prevent germs from spreading, and dispose of used toilet paper promptly.
4. Keep the toilet brush clean and dry
The toilet brush is credited with keeping the toilet clean, however, it can also become a source of pollution if care is not taken to clean and dry the toilet. Every time you brush the dirt, the brush will inevitably be stained with dirt, it is best to flush water again, rinse it clean, drain the water, spray disinfectant, or regular disinfectant immersion, and put in the appropriate place. It’s best to hang up the toilet brush, not leave it in a corner or in a tight container.
