Many people hold the belief that stains can be intentionally cleaned, but this is not the case and should be a daily habit. On one hand, it can prolong the service life of the toilet and enhance the comfort of toilet usage. On the other hand, it can also to some extent prevent hidden bacteria from affecting one's health. Here are some helpful tips for your reference:
Tip 1: Clean the water outlet and the exterior of the base
There are various small areas where dirt can accumulate, such as the inner rim of the toilet outlet and the outer surface of the base. Therefore, these areas need to be carefully cleaned. Start by lifting the toilet seat and cleaning the internal sprayer thoroughly. After a few minutes, scrub the area again with a toilet brush. When selecting a toilet brush, it is advisable to choose one with a slender tip, as it can effectively clean the inner rim and orifice of the toilet.
Tip 2: Flush with the toilet lid closed
When the toilet seat is left open during flushing, germs and microorganisms can be propelled up to six meters into the air due to the instantaneous cyclone inside the toilet. They can remain airborne for several hours and eventually settle on walls, toothbrushes, washbasins, and towels. As most households have bathrooms where toilet, washing, and showering activities take place, toothbrushes, mouthwash cups, towels, and toilets coexist in the same space, making it easier for bacteria to spread. Therefore, it is essential to develop the habit of closing the toilet lid when flushing.
Tip 3: Clean the toilet seat
During winter, many individuals prefer to use a seat cushion on the cold toilet seat. However, this is not recommended as the toilet seat is highly susceptible to bacterial contamination. If residue is still visible after flushing, it is crucial to promptly clean it with a toilet brush to prevent the formation of stains and the growth of mold and bacteria. If a seat cushion is deemed necessary, it is recommended to consider using a NAVISANI intelligent toilet seat with a heating function. This type of seat can provide a clean and warm restroom environment, maintaining a temperature of 38°C to prevent discomfort from a cold seat. The sanitary film used in these seats is disposable, preventing cross-infection. Hygienic toilet seats are especially ideal for commercial and public spaces.
Tip 4: Avoid placing a wastepaper basket next to the toilet bowl
In many households, a wastepaper basket is situated near the toilet bowl to store used toilet paper. However, this can lead to the spread of germs through the air, as the basket may not be cleaned frequently. The longer the waste remains, the more bacteria it accumulates. Toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet. As long as it is not too thick or tough, toilet paper typically dissolves quickly in water, so there is no need to worry about clogging. When necessary, a hygiene bag can be used instead of a wastepaper basket. If a wastepaper basket is used, it is advisable to choose one with a lid to prevent the spread of germs, and used toilet paper should be promptly disposed of.
