PROPER TOILET CLEANING FOR A CLEAN, GERM-FREE, AND SAFE BATHROOM

Cleaning the toilet should never be taken lightly, as it’s a space used by all members of the household and tends to harbor harmful germs. Regular and systematic cleaning is essential. Mori will guide you on how to properly clean the toilet, making it germ-free, shiny, and safe for your hands, all within a short time, saving you time and energy while ensuring effectiveness.

Toilets are typically made from high-quality glazed porcelain, providing a modern and elegant look for the bathroom. However, toilets can accumulate numerous bacteria. If not cleaned regularly, they can develop unsightly yellow stains. Improper cleaning methods can also damage the porcelain enamel.

That’s why a proper toilet cleaning routine that ensures cleanliness, hygiene, and safety while being quick is of great concern to many homemakers.

2. Proper Steps for Cleaning the Toilet: Clean, Germ-Free, and Safe

Step 1: Prepare the Area and Wet the Toilet with Clean Water

Clear the area around the toilet for easy access. Wet the toilet with clean water.

Pour the specialized toilet cleaner into the toilet bowl.

Close the lid for 15 minutes (during this time, you can clean the bathroom).

Note: Do not let children perform this task, as they might not do it correctly. The toilet bowl contains many harmful bacteria.

Step 2: Clean the Exterior of the Toilet

While waiting for the cleaner to permeate inside, take this time to clean the exterior. Close the lid to contain any unpleasant smells from the cleaner. This will make cleaning the outside easier.

Clean from top to bottom to avoid re-contaminating areas you’ve already cleaned. For example, when cleaning a two-piece toilet, start from the water tank, move down to the lid, and then continue cleaning the entire exterior.

Step 3: Clean the Interior of the Toilet

After giving the cleaner enough time to work, scrub the toilet bowl from top to bottom, paying special attention to the rim. Make sure you clean every part of the toilet bowl. Then, flush the water.

Make sure the cleaner is as close to the toilet surface as possible. This ensures that the cleaner flows down the bowl, reaching all the nooks and crannies. Before applying the cleaner, flush the toilet once to remove any loose dirt. This step increases the effectiveness of the toilet cleaner.

After applying the cleaner to the interior of the toilet, close the lid for a while to allow the cleaner to work on the stains and bacteria, ensuring they are thoroughly eliminated.

Step 4: Clean the Toilet Seat

This is a crucial part that requires meticulous cleaning, as it directly contacts our skin. Neglecting the toilet seat can lead to skin conditions. Here’s how to clean it:

Lift the seat and use the prepared cleaner to wipe both the inside and outside of the seat. Also, clean the hinges and the toilet lid in this step. If your toilet seat can be removed, take it off for more thorough and convenient cleaning.

Step 5: Check and Arrange

Flush the toilet once more to ensure that all the cleaner is rinsed away. Remember, all toilet cleaners are chemical compounds and, naturally, they can be harmful.

Finally, rearrange your bathroom, and this might also be a good opportunity for an overall bathroom cleaning.

Note: Always remember to follow safety precautions when handling cleaning chemicals, and store them out of reach of children.

By following these steps, you can maintain a clean, germ-free, and safe toilet, ensuring a healthy environment for your family.
