The Right Way to Use a Toilet Block: A Helpful Guide for Better Hygiene

ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction:

For years, many of us have been unknowingly misusing toilet blocks. The classic method of hanging them on the edge of the toilet bowl might seem like the right way to do it, but this simple mistake can lead to less effective results and potentially even damage to your toilet. If you've ever wondered whether you're using the toilet block in the best possible way, this guide will show you the correct method to ensure cleanliness, longevity, and efficiency.

Ingredients:

Toilet block (commonly sold in tablet or gel form)

Toilet bowl

Toilet brush (optional)

Instructions:

Choose the Right Toilet Block: There are many types of toilet blocks available, each offering different scents and cleaning agents. Choose one that suits your preferences and needs. Some toilet blocks are designed to be placed inside a holder, while others can be directly placed in the toilet bowl.

Place the Toilet Block in the Right Location: Instead of hanging the toilet block on the edge of the bowl, which can lead to less efficient cleaning, the correct placement is inside the toilet tank or attached to the side of the toilet bowl via a special holder. Many toilet blocks come with a small plastic holder for easy installation. The holder should be placed on the rim of the toilet bowl, ensuring it doesn’t obstruct water flow.

Allow the Block to Dissolve: Once the block is securely in place, the cleaning agents will begin to dissolve slowly with each flush, releasing fresh fragrances and cleaning power into the water. This helps eliminate bacteria, stains, and odors.

Replace the Block as Needed: Toilet blocks have a limited lifespan, depending on their brand and the frequency of use. Typically, they last for about 1-2 weeks, so be sure to replace them when they are almost dissolved or no longer effective.

Serving and Storage Tips:

Serving Tips: While the toilet block serves as a continuous cleaner for your toilet bowl, it’s still important to give your toilet a deep clean every once in a while using a toilet brush and cleaner. This ensures that the toilet remains free from built-up grime and stains that the block might not fully eliminate.

Storage Tips: Store your toilet blocks in a dry, cool place, away from children or pets. Always follow the instructions on the packaging for the safest and most effective use. If the toilet block is in a gel form, keep it tightly sealed to prevent it from drying out prematurely.
