When you think about it, toilets are pretty
gross. Public toilets can be used up to 100 times a day, that means 100
people are using them. It is said that whenever a toilet is flushed it
releases over 5000 bacteria into the air. So, when you walk into a public
restroom that is well frequented, there can be up to half a million bacteria or
virus particles in the air. Those bacteria can land on handles, sinks,
faucets and even the paper towels that you use to wipe your hands after you've
washed them. You can use all the antimicrobial soap in the world but it
won't do you any good if your smearing those dirty germs, bacteria and viruses
onto your hands after you've used the soap. If you walk into a public
restroom and it doesn't look clean my advice is to walk straight out. If
it looks dirty to your eyes imagine how it would look under a microscope.
One of the dirtiest places in a bathroom is the toilet but a toilet can be kept
clean very easily with regular maintenance. If you want to try an
experiment don't clean your toilet for 4 weeks and see what happens.
Slowly right above the waterline a black or brownish ring will form. If
you let your toilet go a little longer before cleaning, that black ring will
slowly start to climb in vertical lines toward the toilet rim (by the way, that
ring is about 6 inches from your behind whenever you sit down on your toilet).
What is that black ring? The nasty black ring is bacteria and micro fecal
buildup. A pretty nasty combination when you consider every time you flush
your toilet your breathing them in.
There are many things you can do to avoid the
nasty black ring on your toilet. The first is to use a low acid toilet
bowl cleaner to kill the bacteria. The second is to get your self a really
good toilet bowl brush or toilet bowl mop to scrub that acid around in the
toilet and remove those ugly stains.
Toilet bowl brushes come in many styles but most
are made from a material called polypropylene. Polypropylene won't mold
and can stand up to heat and chemicals. Polypropylene strands are abrasive
and can do a great job at removing the nasty toilet ring. The two main
styles of toilet bowl cleaning utensils are the toilet bowl mops and toilet bowl
brushes. A toilet bowl brush resembles a brush and has a wide stiff
polypropylene bristle. Brushes tend to last a lot longer that toilet bowl
mops because the bristle is larger and does not break away from the toilet bowl
brush handle. Toilet bowl mops are meant to be discarded after repeated
use and are considered by most to be a disposable toilet cleaning product.
Toilet bowl mops have a ball of polypropylene strands massed at one end to form
a light duty scouring surface. Over time the strands tend to break off and
the mop should be discarded. Toilet bowl mops are usually a quarter of the
price of toilet bowl brushes and most are have a plastic handle.
