What types of toilet products are there?
All types of toilet detergents are divided into 4 types:
- special substances;
- preventive;
- universal;
- to remove the blockage.
Also, experts share toilet bowl cleaners, relying on their consistency:
- powder;
- gel;
- creamy texture (or paste);
- liquid composition.
The most popular type of funds among housewives is powder... But keep in mind that there is a big minus - it can damage the enamel, which will negatively affect the appearance of the toilet. Powder cleaning takes longer than other cleaning products.
Gel it spreads quickly enough along the walls, and it is also convenient to spray it under the edge of the toilet bowl using a special nozzle on the bottle. The main advantage is that the substance does not get on the skin during use, and therefore it is convenient and safe in practice.
Cream and paste provide for a thorough surface treatment, but the compositions, unfortunately, are ineffective compared to other types.
Liquid substances for surface treatment are not economical. This is due to the fact that you need to apply a large dosage of the product to obtain the desired effect.
What to look for when choosing?
The assortment of household chemicals is large, but if you are guided by the tips of experts, you will not go wrong with choosing the best option.
The main task is to choose a product that will help remove rust and remove plaque from the surface of the toilet. An equally important criterion is the speed of the composition, but it should not be very aggressive. These factors are paid attention not only to the conscious buyer, but also to the manufacturers of substances, which are engaged in the release of new cleaning agents.
From this we can conclude that it is important to pay attention to a number of parameters:
- composition... Choose a product to remove actual stains. An aggressive product copes well with heavily soiled surfaces. To protect your hands, wear gloves and follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly;
- smell... You should rely on personal preference. In order for the product to perform not only cleansing, but also refreshing functions, you can stop at the citrus aroma;
- packaging... Evaluate how convenient the bottle is to use, whether there is an angle nozzle. The beauty of the cover may not always match the quality. Functionality and practicality come first.
