However, that doesn’t mean more is better.
Salt is abrasive.
Repeatedly scrubbing porcelain with coarse materials can potentially contribute to surface wear or scratches.
More importantly, large quantities of anything should not be intentionally flushed down a toilet unless you’re sure they’re appropriate for the plumbing system.
Toilets are designed to handle human waste and toilet paper.
They are not garbage disposals.
The safest habit is to avoid flushing anything that could contribute to a blockage.
What Should You Actually Use to Clean a Toilet?
For routine cleaning, a toilet cleaner designed for the job is generally the simplest option.
A typical cleaning routine might include:
- Apply an appropriate toilet cleaner according to its label.
- Allow it to sit for the recommended amount of time.
- Scrub under the rim and around the bowl with a suitable toilet brush.
- Clean the exterior surfaces separately.
- Flush as directed.
- Keep the bathroom ventilated.
Don’t forget areas people frequently overlook.
