When going to the toilet
A question has been bothering us
When we use up the toilet paper
Should we throw it into the toilet or into the wastebasket
First of all, we must look at the material of the paper.
The paper we use in life is mainly divided into two categories - " toilet paper " and "tissue paper". Their quality indicators, processing technology and production requirements are very different.
Toilet paper is actually toilet paper. Its molecular structure is loose and the fibers are shorter, making it easier to decompose when exposed to water.
Some researchers have done experiments and found that soaking toilet paper will immediately become soft.
then simulate the action of flushing the toilet and rotate the paper clockwise. The toilet paper will completely fall into pieces.
So if you use toilet paper after going to the toilet, you can throw it into the toilet and flush it. It is not only clean and hygienic, will not produce bacteria, but also reduces the workload required for garbage collection.
However, the quality of toilet paper is also divided into good and bad. When we usually buy paper, we first have to check whether there is a GB/T 20810 logo on the packaging. This standard is the standard for toilet paper and .
Also note that good paper is milky white and does not shed powder. Good toilet paper has fine and even texture, clean and smooth surface, and no holes.
However, poor quality toilet paper is rough, and some even have ink stains that have not been removed. Do not buy such toilet paper.
In addition to toilet paper , another commonly used paper is tissue paper, which is mainly used to wipe the face and other parts of the body. The facial tissues, napkins and handkerchiefs we usually use are all tissue paper.
tissue paper is generally used to wipe sweat and oil stains. Therefore, in order to ensure toughness and avoid wiping your face with confetti, the wet toughness requirements of tissue paper are much higher than those of toilet paper , and generally add Strong humectant.
If this kind of paper is thrown into the toilet, it will not only be difficult to decompose, but will also absorb grease and sewage after entering the sewer, which can easily cause blockage.
If you use it to wipe your face and mouth, it is recommended to use tissue paper. The hygienic standards of tissue paper are established with reference to food standards. Its raw material and bacterial colony requirements are higher than those of toilet paper .
and toilet paper can be added with fluorescent agents, but tissue paper is not allowed to be added. Therefore, there is no doubt that tissue paper is more hygienic than toilet paper and . Tissue paper is definitely the first choice for wiping your face and mouth!
Whether toilet paper can be thrown away directly depends on the material of the toilet pipe.
If you use toilet paper and , can you definitely throw it into the toilet? Not quite! Another factor we need to consider is the material of the toilet pipes.
cast iron pipes materials
Old communities or old buildings with a long history may use cast iron pipes. The inner wall of cast iron pipes is easy to rust, and it is easy for hair strands and rough toilet paper debris to hang on. Especially for non-centrifugally poured cast iron, if it is used for a long time, the corrosion inside the pipe will be serious and the inner diameter will become smaller.
If your home has this kind of toilet pipe, be sure not to throw paper into the toilet, as the probability of it getting clogged is quite high.
plastic pipe
plastic pipe is also called UPVC pipe. Newly built communities and houses now basically use plastic pipes. This material is not easily corroded and dirt will not accumulate. The possibility of throwing toilet paper in and clogging the sewer is very small.
If we don't pay attention and still cause the toilet to be clogged, don't worry -
We only need to use plastic wrap to seal the toilet.
Rinse it with water once, the plastic wrap will bulge, and then we press it down again.
The toilet will no longer be clogged!
We can also make a homemade toilet unclogger. Prepare a clothes hanger and an empty mineral water bottle, and cut the mineral water bottle in half with scissors.
Then connect the part with the bottle cap to the corner of the hanger and secure it with hot melt glue.
We put it in the toilet and poke it back and forth a few times. Because the air in the bottle can increase the pressure of the water flow and flush the blockage away, the toilet will be unclogged in a short time!
Now, have you figured it out?
