1. Daily cleaning
Choice of cleaning agents
Use mild cleaning agents and avoid using cleaning products containing strong acids and alkalis. Because these highly corrosive substances may damage the surface material of the seat, such as scratching the surface of plastic or urea-formaldehyde resin, and may also damage the antibacterial coating on the seat. For example, ordinary neutral detergent diluted is a more suitable cleaning agent.
Cleaning tools
Choose a soft damp cloth or sponge for wiping. Rough cleaning tools, such as steel wool, will leave scratches on the surface of the seat, which not only affects the seat's beauty but also becomes a hiding place for dirt and bacteria. When wiping, clean gently according to the shape and texture of the seat to ensure that all surface stains can be removed.
Key cleaning areas
The edges and bottom of the seat are places where dirt is easy to hide, and special attention should be paid. Because these parts may come into contact with urine, water stains, etc. during use, and are not easy to thoroughly clean. You can fold the wet cloth and wipe deep into the edge gap to clean the dirt.
Cleaning precautions for heated toilet seats
If the seat has a heating function, be extra careful to avoid water splashing onto the heating element. When cleaning, you can turn off the heating function first, and then wipe it with a slightly wrung wet cloth. Once the heating element is flooded with water, a short circuit may occur, affecting the normal use of the seat.
2. Regular deep cleaning
Disinfection frequency
Deep cleaning and disinfection should be performed once a week or every two weeks. The specific frequency can be determined based on the frequency of use and the environment of the seat. The number of disinfections should be appropriately increased if there are sick family members or in places where it is frequently used, such as public places.
Disinfectant selection
Using a dedicated toilet seat disinfectant is a better choice. These disinfectants usually have a good bactericidal effect and can effectively kill bacteria and viruses hidden in the gaps and surfaces of the seat. Follow the instructions for the use of the disinfectant, generally spray the disinfectant on the surface of the seat, and then let it stand for a while to allow the disinfectant to fully work.
Rinse after cleaning
After disinfection, rinse the seat thoroughly with clean water to ensure that there is no disinfectant residue. Because residual disinfectant may irritate human skin, especially for people with sensitive skin.
