It should be said that the toilet is a great invention, it solves the big problems in people's lives. The emergence of the toilet has brought great convenience to people's lives, allowing people to enjoy a comfortable modern life, but there are also some hidden health risks behind it.
According to the statistics from the World Toilet Organization, one person goes to the toilet 6 to 8 times a day on average, that is about 2500 times a year. From this calculation, people spend about 3 years in the bathroom in their lifetime, and women spend even longer. Therefore, it can be said that the sanitation status of the toilet directly affects the health of the human body, and paying attention to the sanitation of the small environment of the toilet is of great significance to the health of the human body.
The toilet is the culture medium for bacteria
The toilet is an indispensable product for removing human excrement. The bacteria in the toilet mainly come from excrement and the dirt and bacteria that remain on the wall for a long time due to improper cleaning of the toilet. This "hiding dirt" is sure to be unclean, but do you know how unclean it is? Experiments have proved that the number of bacteria on the inner wall of the toilet is obviously more than that on the upper edge of the toilet and the reservoir. This is because the inner wall of the toilet is suitable for the growth of bacteria. These bacteria include Escherichia coli, Aerobacter, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida, etc. Studies have found that 32% of toilets are stained with Shigella, and Shigella sonnei can survive for up to 17 days on the toilet seat.
A professional laboratory report also pointed out that when 100 million polio viruses were put into the toilet, 3,000 viruses were spilled on the seat. In most households, toileting, washing, and showering are all done in the bathroom. Toothbrushes, mouthwash cups, towels, etc. are in the same room with the toilet, so they are naturally susceptible to bacterial contamination.
Everyone pays more attention to some very simple details in daily use of the toilet, which can make it cleaner and hygienic, and reduce the hidden health hazards caused by this.
Be sure to cover the toilet lid when flushing
Many people may ignore this problem after going to the toilet. This is actually very unhygienic, because some moments of high-pressure air will be generated during flushing, which may cause some germs or microorganisms to rise, floating in the air, sometimes It can last for several hours, and it will affect the air and the human body. Moreover, it may remain on the wall or on the towel. You must develop the habit of covering the lid when flushing to reduce the pollution of the bathroom.
Pay attention to the toilet ring when brushing the toilet
The toilet seat is the closest contact point with the human skin and an important way for the transmission of disease-causing microorganisms. However, in many cases, everyone only pays attention to the dark groove inside when cleaning, but ignores the cleaning of the toilet seat. Often there are many germs on the toilet seat that can survive for a long time, some even more than ten days, so the toilet seat should be disinfected regularly. In addition, add a lint toilet gasket in winter, so that it is easier to absorb and retain excrement, and the possibility of spreading diseases is greater; if it is really to be used, it should be cleaned frequently to reduce bacterial contamination.
Use of toilet cleaner
Regular use of toilet cleaner to clean the toilet can easily achieve good results. Most of the toilet cleaners on the market are highly volatile inorganic acids. Prolonged inhalation will affect human health. In addition, inorganic acids are highly corrosive and may cause damage to the skin.
Choose "Sunshine Dew" to clean the toilet. It adopts a mild organic acid formula and has no pungent chemical odor. It can quickly remove urine scale, scale, macula, rust, etc. After use, it has a natural lavender fragrance, making the bathroom fragrant and pleasant . Daily cleaning every week can maintain long-lasting fragrance.
Keep the toilet brush clean and dry
After brushing the toilet every time, pay attention to cleaning and keep it dry, otherwise it will easily become the source of the spread of germs. When not in use, it should be placed in a ventilated and dry environment. The correct way is to clean it in time after use, hang it in a ventilated and dry environment, and disinfect it regularly.
Turn on the exhaust fan after bathing
Many families use the toilet and bath together. After taking a bath, the bathroom is full of water vapor, but many people do not have the habit of opening windows for ventilation or turning on exhaust fans. This causes water vapor to nourish the pathogenic microorganisms in the bathroom and multiply rapidly. Therefore, you should turn on the exhaust fan for 15-20 minutes or open the window for ventilation after taking a bath to keep the bathroom dry.
Pay attention to the cleaning details of the bathroom
For example, do not put cosmetics in the bathroom, change the bath balls and scrub towels in the bath regularly, dry the towels, and clean the shower curtain regularly. These are all effective methods to keep the bathroom away from pathogenic microorganisms.
Regular cleaning will not only make cleaning easier and easier, but also keep the environment clean and hygienic for a long time. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it may pollute the environment, and it may breed more bacteria and mold, and the harm is still relatively large. Therefore, it is very important for everyone to clean the toilet seriously. Have you remembered these points?
