The safest habit is to avoid flushing anything that could contribute to a blockage.
What Should You Actually Use to Clean a Toilet?
For routine cleaning, a toilet cleaner designed for the job is generally the simplest option.
A typical cleaning routine might include:
- Apply an appropriate toilet cleaner according to its label.
- Allow it to sit for the recommended amount of time.
- Scrub under the rim and around the bowl with a suitable toilet brush.
- Clean the exterior surfaces separately.
- Flush as directed.
- Keep the bathroom ventilated.
Don’t forget areas people frequently overlook.
The underside of the toilet rim can accumulate residue.
The area around the base can collect grime.
The flush handle can carry germs because it is touched frequently.
The toilet seat and lid should also be cleaned regularly.
