The bathroom is the key area of home decoration. Not only should we pay attention to the waterproofing of the ground, but also the purchase of toilets is what we need to pay attention to. But it is not enough to just buy a high-quality toilet, and daily maintenance is also crucial. Below, I will introduce the toilet purchase skills and toilet maintenance methods.
Toilet buying skills
1. Weigh the weight
Generally speaking, the heavier the toilet, the better. The weight of an ordinary toilet is about 25 kg, while that of a good toilet is about 50 kg. The heavy toilet has high density, solid material and good quality. If you don’t have the ability to pick up the entire toilet to weigh it, you might as well lift the tank cover to weigh it, because the weight of the tank cover is often proportional to the weight of the toilet.
2. Calculate the capacity
As far as the same flushing effect is concerned, of course, the less water consumption, the better. Bring an empty mineral water bottle, turn off the water inlet faucet of the toilet, open the water tank cover and manually add water to the water tank with the mineral water bottle after draining the water in the water tank, roughly calculate according to the capacity of the mineral water bottle, add how much water after the faucet The water inlet valve inside is fully closed? It is necessary to see whether the water consumption is consistent with the water consumption marked on the toilet.
3. Test water tank
In general, the higher the tank height, the better the momentum. In addition, it is necessary to check whether the water tank of the toilet is leaking. You can drop blue ink into the toilet tank, stir well and see if there is blue water flowing out of the toilet outlet, if there is, it means that the toilet has a leak.
Four, consider the water
The quality of the water parts directly affects the flushing effect and determines the service life of the toilet. When purchasing, you can press the button to listen to the sound, and the crisp sound is the best. In addition, observe the size of the water outlet valve in the water tank. The larger the valve, the better the water outlet effect, and the diameter of more than 7 cm is better.
5. Touch the glazed surface
Good quality toilet, smooth glaze, smooth appearance, no bubbles, and soft color. Everyone should use the reflective light to observe the glazed surface of the toilet. The non-smooth glazed surface is easy to appear under the light. After checking the glaze on the outer surface, you should also touch the sewer of the toilet. If the sewer is rough, it is easy to catch dirt.
6. Measuring caliber
The caliber sewage pipe and the inner surface are glazed, which is not easy to hang dirty, and the sewage is quickly and powerfully discharged, which can effectively prevent blockage. If you don’t have a ruler, you can put your whole hand into the mouth of the toilet. The more comfortable your hand is in and out, the better.
Seven, flushing method
The toilet flushing method is divided into direct flushing type, rotary siphon type, whirlpool siphon type, and jet siphon type; The flush-down and siphon flush-down toilets have strong sewage discharge capabilities, but the sound is loud when flushing; the whirlpool type consumes a lot of water at one time, but has a good mute effect; the direct-flush siphon toilet has the advantages of both direct flush and siphon , can not only quickly wash the dirt, but also play a role in saving water.
Eight, on-site test flushing
Many sanitary ware sales outlets have on-site trial devices, and it is the most direct to try the flushing effect directly.
Toilet maintenance method
1. flush
If the toilet lid is opened when flushing, the instantaneous cyclone in the toilet can bring germs or microorganisms up to 6 meters in the air, and suspend them in the air for several hours, and then fall on the walls, toothbrushes, mouthwash cups, and towels .
If the toilet lid is opened when flushing, the instantaneous cyclone in the toilet can bring germs or microorganisms up to 6 meters into the air, and suspend them in the air for several hours, and then fall on the walls and objects. Nowadays, in most families, going to the toilet, washing, and showering are carried out in the bathroom. Toothbrushes, mouthwash cups, towels, etc. are in the same room as the toilet, so they are naturally prone to bacterial contamination. Therefore, you should develop the habit of closing the toilet lid when flushing.
2. The toilet flushes without leaving any residue
The toilet is easily stained with urine, feces and other dirt. If you find that there are still residues after flushing, you must clean them with a toilet brush in time, otherwise macular stains will easily form, and mold and bacteria will also breed. In addition to the vicinity of the pipe opening, the inner edge of the toilet and the outside of the base are places where dirt is hidden. When cleaning, lift the toilet seat first, and spray the inside with toilet cleaner. After a few minutes, use a toilet brush to scrub thoroughly. , it is best to use a brush with a thin head, which can better clean the inner edge of the toilet and the depth of the pipe mouth. Then brush the base and other crevices.
3. Keep the toilet brush clean and dry
The toilet brush is what keeps the toilet clean, however, it can also become a source of pollution if it is not cleaned and dried properly. Every time after brushing the dirt, the brush will inevitably be stained with dirt. It is best to flush it with water again, rinse it off, drain the water, spray disinfectant, or soak it with disinfectant regularly, and put it in a suitable place .
