Washing the Toilet: How to Know When, What to Do Then
Far too many people only undertake the task of cleaning the toilet during routine spring cleaning. This is a mistake. The bathroom, expectedly, is a site for messy and unsanitary build-up. Don’t neglect it throughout the year; clean it regularly.
Be on the lookout for a number of signs that indicate your toilet needs to be washed. If you see dirty residue lining the toilet, use cleaners to wipe the area. Sometimes there may be a foul smell radiating from the bowl, in which case it should be cleaned immediately.
There are whole lines of cleaners that you can use in your bathroom. You may have heard of several foaming cleaners or cleaners with tilted heads that make cleaning the upper bowl easy. These can make cleaning the toilet much simpler.
Just go to the store and pick up a toilet bowl scrubber and cleaning agent. Combine them and the result will be a shiny, odor-free toilet bowl.
Remember, cleaning a toilet once it is a dirty is only part of the job of keeping a clean toilet. There a things you can do to make sure your toilet stays as clean as possible between full cleanings.
You can pick up some additional cleaning products that stay in the toilet for weeks or months at a time and add cleanser to the water slowly and automatically. With each flush, the water partially cleans the toilet. This will keep you from having to clean the toilet as often.
There is, however, required weekly or monthly maintenance. Though not a full clean, you’ll have to replace the old auto-cleaning agent with a new, fresh one.
While these products can only stave off that next cleaning, you will eventually have to do a full clean. Your john needs a good cleaning every few months, even if you use these. If you don’t, you may need to clean it even more frequently to maintain a healthy bathroom.
Don’t join normal homeowners in neglecting one of the dirtiest rooms in the house. Pay attention to your toilet and give it care when it needs it. Otherwise, you’ll be facing an odorous, onerous task!
