I’m sure we are all familiar with the sizzle of the toilet tank cleaning tablet, its vibrant blue and distinct smell capturing your attention as you enter your bathroom.
You go about your business in ease, trusting that these little tablets are doing just the job of keeping your toilet clean. However, these little tablets might just have a big damage to your toilet bowl.
THE WHY
Toilet-cleaning tablets are often made up of caustic chemicals, like bleach, which mean that they can break down weaker materials over time. While bleach stays a strong contender for keeping most things clean in the bathroom, it is crucial to note that we are not leaving water dissolved with bleach sitting around to clean anything for prolonged periods of time.
Yet, this is exactly the case when we drop toilet-cleaning tablets into our tanks, where the tablets are dissolving into the sitting water in the tank, which also contains crucial components to your toilet bowl such as the gaskets, washers and other plastic and rubber components of the flushing mechanism. Over time, corrosion and wear occurs to these components and manifest themselves in the form of leaks or damaged flushing.
THE RULE OF THUMB
To avoid any unwarranted damage to your toilet bowl, we would highly suggest to avoid all use of toilet-cleaning tablets.
Here at Hupfarri, we also take special care to inform our customers to avoid the use of the toilet-cleaning tablets. Given the damages they cause to parts, we also do not extend any warranty to the flushing mechanism if toilet cleaning tablets are used.
THE NOW WHAT
With toilet-cleaning tablets out of the picture, many of you must be wondering now what? Manual cleaning of toilet on a regular basis would be the best with most of the cleaning done directly in the bowl. This way, the tank stays clear of any cleaning agents while you achieve a sparkling clean bowl.
This saves all the worry and trouble of a potential leaky or un-flushable toilet!
