Toilet surface cleaners

Absolutely all toilet cleaners can be divided into the following categories:

• special;
• preventive;
• universal.

Important! They are available in various forms: in the form of a liquid, powder, gel, cream and specialized blocks.

Universal and special gels

A gel-type toilet cleaner is the most popular and widely used consistency, which is preferred by most people. Thanks to a special cover, it is well applied under the rim of the toilet bowl, thereby cleaning the toilet cleaner of this type slowly and evenly flows down the inner walls of the plumbing bowl.

Important! It is also important that the cap of this bottle is made in such a way that you can not be afraid of getting the product on the skin. Popular manufacturers with a good reputation are Domestos, Cilit, Frosch, Dressing duckling, Bref.

Liquid type detergent

The functions of this product are identical to those of a gel detergent. But precisely because it does not have such a thick consistency and loses the gel in the economical use. It quickly spreads over the surface of the walls of the toilet bowl, and it is for this reason that they cannot be called beneficial in terms of economy.

Important! The main plus of such products is its price. Such a toilet cleaner usually costs an order of magnitude cheaper. Amway will be especially expensive, but according to reviews it is very effective and safe. More affordable price for Comet and Cilit.

Dry powder cleaners

Powder is the most affordable way to clean the toilet, which has some disadvantages. Efficiency of use is achieved not only from the reaction of composite abrasive components with contamination, but also by your efforts that you apply, carefully wiping the surface of the walls of the toilet bowl.

Important! The disadvantage of all cleaning powders is that they scratch and damage the walls of the toilet. This leads to microcracks in the enamel and with further use penetrate deeper into the structure of the material. So - it will be more and more difficult to get them out every time. As for manufacturers, all of the above brands supply powder products to the market.

Cream

The name of the cream is already associated with something gentle and soft, and that is why these toilet cleaners provide a delicate and fairly effective care. The composition of such products is identical with all cleaning products. Its effectiveness depends on the manufacturer, which released such household chemicals on the market. The most popular are Cilit, CIF.

Important! When choosing the suitable cleaning agent option for you, be sure to focus on the consistency - give preference to gel or cream, the advantages here are obvious.

Preventive Toilet Care

Tools in the form of hanging blocks, stickers, balls and preparations, which are very often added to the toilet flush cistern - tablets, magnetic rings, stones and other similar forms, are not used when cleaning the toilet. Their goal is only to keep clean and add freshness. Reviews about these preventative toilet products can be found in a variety of ways.

Tablets for a drain tank

Good reviews can be found about pills, which are often added to the drain tank. Despite the fact that many claim that after using them, there are blue or green non-washable strips on the walls of the tank, and this is a significant drawback, in most cases, tablets are praised.

Stickers

Stickers with a dispenser are just as often praised. This is a fairly new remedy. Using a special dosing stick, such a tool is attached to the surface of the toilet wall and is used with every flushing.

Important! One sticker is enough for one week, sometimes more.

Balloons

There are sometimes negative reviews about pendant balls, especially the Breff 4 in 1 brand. The idea is good - the fight against dirt, foam, smell and disinfection. But reviews say about these toilet balls that the smell is almost inaudible, and they end quickly enough.

Replaceable blocks

About interchangeable units “Breff” and “Domestos” reviews are also different. But in general, they are quite suitable for preventive work.

Magnetic ring

The latest innovation is the magnetic ring for cleaning the toilet, which is thrown into the drain tank. The magnet makes the water softer. As a result, the salts, from which the calcareous deposit is formed, completely change their structure, do not cling to the toilet, but are easily washed away from it.

Important! Despite its price, this toilet cleaner is quite profitable.

Safe chlorine-free toilet cleaners

When cleaning sinks, bathtubs, toilets installed in private cottages or country houses, you can forget about Domestos, Toilet duckling, Comet and other plumbing products, designed for use in urban sewage systems. In addition, it is not allowed to use aromatic blocks for the flush tank and toilet bowl, because this can negatively affect the effect of the product.

But a small amount of disinfectant spray will not be able to interfere with the action of the septic tank “Topas” or another similar brand. The rules for choosing toilet and bathroom cleaners are the same as for the kitchen. Household chemicals must be environmentally friendly and clean.

Important! Naturally biodegradable substances are currently becoming increasingly popular. Therefore, it is not difficult to find the products of manufacturers and choose among them the brand that you prefer. In principle, these are universally recognized world brands - Gruen-Green, Ecover, iHerb, which produce a whole series of detergents, as well as cleaning products for absolutely any occasion.

How do contaminants form on the surface of the toilet?

Normal flushing will not be able to provide the necessary cleanliness in the toilet. Elementary hygiene rules speak about the regular washing and disinfection of your toilet, as it is the place of potential concentration of harmful microorganisms.

The causes of plaque and deposits, depending on the conditions of use of the bathroom, may be the following:

1. The quality of water in our homes is often poor, in many regions its hardness is very high.
2. Seals in the tank are not always perfectly fitted. As a result, water saturated with lime and rust trickles down the toilet, painting it with bizarre, but extremely unattractive drips.
3. The negligent attitude to the obligatory flushing of water after the need is met leads to a gradual increase in sediment, known as urinary stone.

Important! Even on a brand new toilet, unpleasant rusty tracks and gray stains may appear. And then you have to make constant efforts to wash the toilet from rust and deposits. Therefore, watch and care for plumbing equipment from the very first days after its installation.
