An effective toilet cleaner. The best toilet cleaners

A snow-white toilet bowl is a guarantee of hygiene and cleanliness of the whole house. To get rid of limescale, smudges and pathogens, a toilet bowl cleaner is used. Manufacturers of such products guarantee a multi-effect, but is it really so?

Types of cleaning products

All cleaning products can be classified according to their purpose. They are divided into:

Products from limescale and rust. Most often, they contain acids or other aggressive components. With their help, they effectively fight hard formations on a ceramic or faience bowl, remove brown stains. Along with this, it can often cause enamel erosion, due to which the toilet bowl turns gray over time or even becomes covered with a fine mesh of cracks;
Disinfectors. They do not contribute to the removal of limescale, but they effectively clean the toilet bowl and water in the siphon from pathogens. They also contain acids, most often hydrochloric, and analogues of chlorine. They provide not only quick cleaning of bacteria, but also slow down their reproduction for a while, providing a lasting effect;
Universal. These are products that remove plaque, cleanse various contaminants and help get rid of bacteria. They contain several types of acids and other active additives. Compared to specialized products, they have a lower cost, but are also inferior to them in efficiency.

Overview of popular products

For comparative analysis toilet bowl cleaners, we have prepared a list of the most popular. These are Domestos (Domestos), Cilit (Silit) and others. All these products have universal properties, so we will compare it by the effectiveness of the action.

Domestos (Domestos) - probably one of the most popular cleaning products in the CIS. The secret of success is not high efficiency, but affordable price. Instead of acids, this product uses alkaline compounds. They do an excellent job with the bacterial layer on the thicket, help to cleanse rust, but do not help with lime. In addition, when using Domestos, you need to be very careful - vapors come from the liquid that can burn the esophagus and nasopharynx.

Domestos for the toilet - different types

Cilit (Silit) - one of the most effective means on the market. It costs more than Dosmetos. Contains inorganic hydrochloric acid, with which it perfectly copes with almost any build-up on the bowl. It has a quick effect, but destroys enameled surfaces. Known for its ability to restore whiteness even to old toilets.

Comet 7 days of purity (Komet) - a gel-like substance with a characteristic acidic odor. It also contains acids (sulphuric) and active additives. It is considered more effective than Silit, because it is able to clean the bowl within a few minutes after application. The undoubted advantage is the effect of slowing down the growth of bacteria, which retains a pleasant smell in the toilet, and smudges do not form on the walls.

Dosia (Dosya) is a Russian toilet and bath cleaner. It copes well with the smell and traces of rust, but does not dissolve calcium growths well. Its price is almost two times lower than that of Domestos, but the efficiency is worse. Despite the manufacturer's assurances about long-term disinfection and lime removal, the product does not cope well with these tasks. Almost a complete analogue of Dusi - Tyron (Tyron).

Sarma is a popular tool for removing rust marks and disinfecting the toilet bowl. A notable feature of this liquid is that it does not contain chlorine. As a result, the manufacturer has achieved a pleasant aroma and safety in use. Among the disadvantages of the product is the lack of a lasting effect of cleanliness and ineffectiveness in eliminating calcium plaque. It is rather preventive measure rather than a means of getting rid of serious pollution.

For a convenient comparison, we have compiled a table where we describe the main criteria for choosing a toilet cleaner:

Name	Price (at the time of writing)	Active ingredients	Purpose
Domestos	3 dollars (1 liter)	Sodium hypochlorite and surfactant.	Eliminate unpleasant odors, remove contaminants from the surface of the thicket (including rust), slow down the growth of bacteria.
Cilit Plaque and rust	7 dollars (1 liter)	Oxalic acid, surfactant.	It is used exclusively for bleaching the bowl and removing calcium accumulations. To eliminate perennial growths, a specialized composition is used - Cillit spray to remove limescale and rust.
Comet 7 days of cleanliness	4 dollars	Phosphoric and formic acid.	According to the manufacturer, it bleaches faience and perfectly disinfects. With the removal of bacteria - however, within a few days under experimental conditions, a decrease in the population of microorganisms was noticed.
Sarma and Dosya	1 dollar	Alkaline compounds.	Light dirt cleaning, bleaching, rust and smudge removal, disinfection.

Safety precautions when working with cleaning products

A high concentration of acids in the composition of cleaning products requires compliance with certain rules their operation. Before starting the process of cleaning the toilet, you need to wear gloves and ventilate the room well.

Household gloves - a guarantee of healthy hands when cleaning the toilet

It is best to leave it to ventilate until the end of cleaning. What else you need to know when using toilet bowl cleaners:

They must not be combined with other detergent products. This can cause the release of chlorine gas, which is harmful to humans;
If the toilet is not ventilated, it is best to wear a mask that will protect you from the fumes;
Cleaning is carried out only with gloves. Hydrochloric acid is very aggressive and can not only remove lime, but also corrode the skin on the hands;
None of the listed products can wash marble, stone, wood and others. natural materials. If you need to disinfect the floor, it is better to buy a special product for a specific floor;
Coverings and walls in the bathroom and toilet can be washed with disinfectants, but after that they will need to be completely washed off. Otherwise, they will not only corrode the surface of the tile or other coating, but also harm the environment. Based on this, do not use such products for cleaning in bedrooms and kitchens;
To ensure the safety of the toilet, it should not be treated with acid compounds more than once a week. Also, they are not recommended for use on enamel coatings.

A disgusting smell from the toilet, a dirty toilet will ruin the reputation of any hostess as unclean and sloppy. The elimination of unpleasant and cleanliness of the bathroom, as well as disinfection, comes to the fore. It should be a universal remedy that kills all known microorganisms, eliminates unpleasant odors, quickly and effectively cleans the toilet bowl white.

If the cleaning and cleaning of the toilet bowl has been carried out, the dirt is regularly removed without problems, but if this is not the case, more radical and optimal cleaning products are needed.

What are the types of toilet surface contamination?

To understand what you will encounter when cleaning the toilet, you need to determine what type of pollution you have.

The most common types of pollution:

Urinary stone. The reason for the formation is a poor (weak) or irregular drain, the remains of the active substances of the urine settle on the surface of the walls of the toilet bowl, most often inside the drain hole.
Lime scale. It is formed due to the high hardness of tap water.
Rust, yellow stains, as a result of rust parts of the drain tank, valve, lever, rusty pipes. If the float is not adjusted correctly, water flows from the tank into the toilet in a thin stream, resulting in a rusty coating on the surface.
Black spots are most often formed in places of bends and in the sewer bend.
Bacteria, fungi, multiplying on the surface of the toilet, can lead to an unpleasant odor. cm.

As one of the ways to combat lime deposits, rust can be called the installation of special water filters at the inlet of plumbing around the house. Check the water hardness level and contact the organization supplying water to your homes if there is a significant deviation from the norm.

The hardness of water is determined by the degree of dissolution of minerals in it. Water hardness is considered to be:

Soft up to 2°F;
Medium hard water from 2 to 10°F;
Rigid when over 10°F

If the water hardness is more than 10°F, then the likelihood of scale formation on the water heating elements of the boilers of washing machines, the appearance of lime deposits in the pipes and in the toilet bowl is very high.

What is the best toilet cleaner

Today we will figure out how to choose the best detergent for the toilet without significant losses for the wallet.

A high-quality and effective product solves a whole range of problems:

limescale - alkalis will cope best with this;
rust - melts under the action of acids;
dirt - removed with surfactants;
an unpleasant smell, bacteria - basically, chlorine and perfume fragrances work here.

Gels for sanitary cleaning

The products of this group are characterized by a thick consistency, which ensures uniform application and a longer effect on the surface. Most often they are packaged in bottles with a curved spout that facilitates access under the rim of the toilet bowl. It is these products that are popular and in demand even among professional cleaners.

Look at the composition of the gel:

surfactant(surfactants) - work to destroy pollution;
acids- remove plaque, rust, successfully complement and enhance the effect of surfactants. Hydrochloric, orthophosphoric, formic, oxalic acids are effective;

If we talk about the composition, lactic, citric acids, anionic surfactants will be useful components for removing lime and rust. Often, liquid cleaners are presented in the form of concentrates, which is great for bathrooms and toilets, and other plumbing fixtures.
