It looks clean but is actually very dirty! Experts find "3 major toilet cleaning mistakes" why the strange smell keeps lingering

You may think that you are doing a good job in cleaning, but in the end, your "toilet cleaning" may be getting worse. In fact, some seemingly correct cleaning methods can actually cause dirt residue and even lead to odor and hygiene problems. In this regard, the author, a Japanese housewife with 25 years of experience and a former housekeeper, has compiled 3 common NG toilet cleaning habits. Let’s see if you have fallen into this trap.

1. Use a vacuum cleaner on the toilet floor

Many people will use a vacuum cleaner to clean the toilet floor as if it were a living room or corridor, but this is actually very dangerous.

{99 9}

Urine splashes and bacteria invisible to the naked eye often remain on the toilet floor. When you use a vacuum cleaner, these dirt will stick to the suction head, and then you will take it to clean other rooms in your home, which is equivalent to "sending the dirty stuff to the whole family."

【Suggest the correct way】

. First wipe the dust with dry disposable mopping paper

. Then wipe the floor with a wet cleaning paper towel or a special wet cloth for the floor

Only in this way can the real hygienic cleaning effect be achieved

2. Do not throw away the "flushable" cleaning wet wipes

Although there are cleaning wet wipes on the market that are advertised as "thrown into the toilet", in fact they still often cause blockages.

Even if the paper is designed to be decomposable, it will still be subject to:

. Toilet drain pipe shape

． Water flow velocity

. Affected by factors such as whether it is a water-saving toilet (very common nowadays)

, it is difficult for the paper to be discharged smoothly, and it is easy to accumulate and become clogged over time.

【The safest method】

→ Throw it directly into the trash can after cleaning

Although it is a little troublesome, it can avoid the expensive "water and electricity rescue bill" that makes you cry.

3. Use alcohol to wipe the toilet seat all the time.

Many people are used to wiping the toilet seat with alcohol spray or alcohol wipes because of the need for disinfection. However, most seats are made of resin or plastic. Long-term use of alcohol with a high concentration for wiping can easily cause:

. The surface becomes rough

. The color becomes lighter or yellower

. It may even cause cracks

【The best cleaning method】

Use neutral detergent or special cleaning wipes for toilet seats, which can not only disinfect but also avoid material aging.
