How to clean the toilet?

Permanent commercials with scary monsters that live in our toilets, force us to pour in liters of tools for cleaning and disinfecting the toilet. We are told that in order for the toilet to become really clean, you need to have heavy artillery in the assortment, such as toilet blocks, gels, powders, which often harm our health, polluting the environment, and when inhaled they settle on the lungs. However, you can always use alternatives, for example, folk methods of cleaning the toilet bowl, since they are more environmentally friendly.

The main problem faced by people in their bathrooms and toilets is the yellowness of plumbing and its sloppy appearance. It also forms ugly mud leaks, a crust of lime, corrosion and biological contaminants.

Prolonged operation of the toilet entails the formation of lime and urinary stone, which are extremely difficult to remove. Therefore, in the arsenal of combating urinary stone you always need to keep several effective ways to remove such contaminants.

Fortunately, modern plumbing pleases its customers with new technologies, becoming ergonomic, aesthetic and simple. Not so long ago, the plumbing market won the "smart plumbing" with an infrared sensor and autowash. But unfortunately, even these innovations are not insured against problems with pollution and stone formation.

The limescale, like the stone, is associated with exploitation and does not manifest itself immediately. Only at the end of a long time under the rim of the toilet bowl and in places where water is drained, an unesthetic plaque becomes noticeable. therefore it is important to clean the toilet bowl as often as possible, it will relieve from long-term accumulations of a raid, and removal of a urinary stone will not be so problematic.

Urinary stone accumulates over the entire surface of the toilet bowl due to salt deposits. Over time, it becomes impossible to clean it with a conventional brush or brush. Lime deposits on the walls of the toilet, an unpleasant odor - a consequence of the rare cleaning of the toilet and its unsanitary conditions. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary costs and to keep the plumbing clean, should start to get rid of deep problems:

1. Repair any leaks from the flush tank. To avoid overflowing the tank capacity, you just need to adjust the float. And in some cases, you need a complete replacement of the tank with a new one.
2. Adding water softener tablets to the flush tank will help to avoid further problems with odor and urinary stone.
3. At least once a week it is necessary to clean the toilet with an antibacterial agent. It will be enough to put it on the wall of the toilet, a little brush and rinse with water.

Some owners prefer not to wage a “war” with similar problems and decide to buy a new toilet. But fortunately, there are many ways that will easily remove the raids and save the family budget. Each method of cleaning the toilet bowl must correspond to the degree of contamination.

With ordinary pollution can easily and quickly cope Domestos or "Toilet duckling" only when they are used regularly. In order to avoid the appearance of traces of urinary stone, the toilet should be cleaned of yellow bloom with his own hand at least once every seven days.

We list several options available:

• Cleaning the toilet will help regular vinegar. It must be poured into water and left for about 3 hours. After that, you just need to press the drain button. Such a simple and affordable way will get rid of a slight accumulation of urinary stone after the first use.
• Lemon acid - Another component that allows you to remove the urinary stone and lime deposits without the expense of time and money. Two bags of citric acid are poured into the toilet and left there for 3-5 hours. After that, the tool is washed off with water, and the remnants of the raid are cleaned with a brush. If after the first cleaning the expected result is not achieved, you should repeat this simple procedure.
• "White" - far from a harmless remedy, however, in the fight against urinary stone is quite effective. The plunger removes all the water from the knee of the toilet bowl, after which the bottle of “Whiteness” is poured, the toilet is closed with a lid and left overnight. In the morning, wash the product several times and evaluate the result. If desired or unsatisfactory, you should repeat the procedure again.

• 33% brine used when cleaning the toilet bowl only if the plumbing is not made of plastic. Removal of the urinary stone with acid should be performed only in protective gloves, thereby protecting the skin from a possible chemical burn. Dry walls of the toilet bowl poured with acid, then leave for half an hour. Before washing, clean the places of contamination with an unnecessary brush and wash it several times with clean water. The method, although quite toxic, is extremely effective.
• Electrolyte - Another method that is prohibited if you have plastic pipes. However, the electrolyte is the most radical and effective when cleaning the toilet bowl from urinary stone. The electrolyte is simply poured into the toilet, left there for a couple of hours and washed off with water.
• Perhaps in every home you can find oxygen bleachwhich can also be useful when getting rid of urinary stone. The product is poured onto the urinary stone, then this place is intensively rubbed with a stiff brush and rinsed with clean, warm water.

• Abrasive cleanerssuch as Domestos, Komets. The method of their application is simple, though not pleasant. From the toilet all the water is scooped out, the walls are filled with means and rub with a rag or sponge to a crystal whiteness. The disadvantage of this method is only that the glossy surface of the toilet bowl can become rough due to the formation of scratches after cleaning with similar means. And scratches, in turn, contribute to the rapid accumulation of plaque and urinary stone on the walls of the toilet.
• Acid dry oxalic acid it is used more often in the chemical industry for cleaning the surface before the enamel coating procedure. But a small amount of such acid can successfully cope with the elimination of pollution in the toilet. For this, the substance is applied to the cloth (use of gloves is obligatory), with the help of which the places of contamination are wiped. Even easier - it is to pour the acid into the water, clean the ruff and rinse with water.
• Carbonated drinkssuch as "Cola", "Sprite". Although the purpose of these drinks does not imply the cleaning of toilet bowls, but as practice has shown, they cope with this task quite well. Only after that it becomes scary for what these drinks can do with a person's stomach. A couple of bottles of sparkling water is poured into the toilet. Due to the content in the drink citric acid plaque corrodes extremely quickly.

It must be remembered that A new and expensive toilet is much easier and more profitable to keep clean. Do not forget about prophylactic agents that can clear the drain from all sorts of raids and sediments.

If you notice that the toilet has become reluctant and problematic to flush even a small amount of household waste, then, most likely, it is simply clogged, and you risk flooding the neighbors from the bottom. Water from the drain can rise from the inside to the rim of the toilet and pour onto the floor of the toilet. Water, of course, will contain particles of feces, wet wads of toilet paper, etc.

What to do in such an emergency? Do not write with the findings and do not panic. It is not necessary to immediately contact the housing office. First try to do all the dirty work yourself, for example, with the help of the good old air vent.

It was used even when no one heard about imported Tiret or Komet products. A clump of garbage just pushed deep down the drain.

Nowadays a different method is much more effective. With the help of the acid, a clump of garbage is dissolved, and thus the blockage is eliminated. He will independently go into the sewer with a water stream.

Pump out the water, but not to the end. Let there be still a bit inside. Pour half a pack of baking soda into the sink. With the help of the pushes of the air vent we push the baking soda further down the drain and pour in one glass of table vinegar.

The pipes, tired of clogging, will only be happy for such a “cocktail”. The chemical reaction lasts about twenty minutes. Then you need to pour about one and a half to two liters of boiling water into the toilet drain. The result is guaranteed.

You can remove the blockage with household cleaning products for cleaning various pipes, for example, it may be the Mole familiar from childhood. Foreign "Tiret Turbo", "Debucher" are also good. Sometimes, when the blockage is small, it will be enough to pour 2 liters of Coca-Cola into the drain. True, it is not always at hand.

There are several effective ways to wipe off contamination:

• Bring the kitchen vinegar to forty degrees, then pour the kitchen soda into it, mix well. Apply the gruel, which is the result, on the dirt and leave it for ten hours. Cleaning spend at night.
• Citric acid has long been successfully used by many housewives to successfully clean their toilets and bathrooms. Take a couple of sachets of this acid, sprinkle contaminated areas. Make sure that citric acid is completely contaminated. After two hours, wash and rinse the toilet with plenty of hot water.
• Pour ethanedioic acid on urinary stone and limescale. Wait two hours. Then you need to wash the toilet with warm water.
• Siphon all the water out of the toilet. Then pour a few liters of Coca-Cola into it. Leave the sweet water overnight in your toilet. Just do not immediately drain the water! This will have to be done in the morning. Then, at the same time, wash the walls of the toilet with a brush.
• Simple baking soda will help you remove the limescale. Take a pack of soda, put it in the toilet and leave for 30 minutes. Then pour there vinegar. You will see a chemical reaction between substances. Then wipe the toilet with a brush.
