Preface
Throwing paper into the trash when going to the toilet seems to have become a common knowledge in our lives now, but there are still some people who don't think so.
In their opinion, toilet paper should be flushed away with the toilet bowl and thrown into the trash can not only smelly but also very unhygienic, in short, both sides have their own reasons, so which is the right one?
Throwing the toilet VS throwing the garbage can
It seems that throwing toilet paper in the trash can after going to the toilet is an answer that was planted in our hearts when we were very young, so it has not changed for so many years.
But it's always been like this, right? I don't know if I read it, but after reading it, I realized that there is so much harm in throwing toilet paper in the trash.
In the past, we didn't care about where to throw the paper, but now it's different, and as people's quality of life gradually improves, some small details that we don't pay attention to will be discovered.
Let's take a look at how harmful it is to throw toilet paper into the trash, and the bathroom is not only airtight but also dark and damp compared to other rooms.
Many people generally do not throw away the toilet paper in the trash can at any time, and only throw it away when it is almost full, which leads to a problem.
The fermentation of used toilet paper during this period of time can have a very magical effect, for example, it is most likely to grow bacteria in dark, damp places.
It's okay in winter, especially in summer, it's unimaginable, and when it reaches a certain amount, it will float in the air, although we can't smell it, but it is easy to be inhaled by us along with the nose and mouth.
In addition, if you don't get home in time for a business trip, then when you enter the toilet, you can smell a choking smell, which is the result of the growth of toilet paper bacteria.
If there are people with respiratory allergies in the family who need to pay more attention, it is easy to cause physical discomfort, then at this time you really need to consider whether it is the cause of toilet paper.
Of course, this is only one of the dangers, the bathroom is not only a place for us to go to the toilet, but also a place for us to wash on weekdays.
This can cause bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye to float out of the toilet paper and into the air, and then attach to all corners of the bathroom, including household items such as toothbrushes and towels.
And when we use these things again, it's equivalent to a second contact, and it's chilling to think about that image.
Some people's homes, in order to make the toilet environment a little better, will buy some aromatherapy or deodorant, although to a certain extent, it does cover up the smell, but it is completely a symptom rather than a cure.
So that's when someone stepped in, and the best option was to flush the toilet paper we used up into the drain along with the waste from the toilet.
Throw toilet paper down the toilet
In fact, it's not that most people didn't think of it, but they did it before, but the result was that the toilet was blocked, and even in the end, they had to find someone else to repair it.
In this way, everyone also acquiesced to the statement that toilet paper should be thrown into the trash, but in fact, it is not that paper cannot be thrown in the toilet, but that we have made the wrong choice.
The reason why the toilet will be blocked, and the toilet we choose has a lot to do with the old toilet due to the low water pressure, resulting in often clogged toilets, not only that, sometimes it can't be flushed at one time.
In comparison, the current toilet design is more and more humane, not only to increase the water pressure power, but also to design the diameter of the pipe is quite reasonable, effectively avoiding the situation of blockage.
Of course, the biggest reason is that when it comes to the choice of toilet paper, many people will think that toilet paper is the same, but it is not.
There is a kind of toilet paper that is not only hard, but also has strong toughness, ordinary pulling is not easy to tear, if you use this kind of toilet paper for a long time, it is easy to cause damage to our area, so it is recommended that you try to choose a softer one when buying paper.
At the same time, the paper that can be dissolved into water is generally made of virgin wood pulp and other high-quality materials, and we want to test whether our own paper can be integrated into the water.
Just take it out and put it in the water, stir it quickly with chopsticks to mimic the pumping effect of the toilet, and after a few seconds see if the toilet paper is still glued together or has become crumbs and scattered.
From this, we can tell whether the toilet paper at home can be integrated into the water, of course, those tough papers are not suitable for use in toilet paper, but also very good for other places, such as wiping all kinds of stains, water absorption and other effects.
In addition, the smoothness of the toilet pipe will also affect whether the toilet is blocked, and the pipe of the toilet in some older residential areas is a cast iron pipe, which can not be seen in a short period of time, and it is very easy to rust in the long run.
Those rust and unevenness can greatly affect the smoothness of the pipes, so this is one of the causes of clogged toilets.
However, not everyone cares about the choice of toilet paper every time, and if some people live in some old neighborhoods, they can't change the whole plumbing.
If this is the case, then we need to work on the trash can, for example, buy one with a clamshell, open it when you use it, and close it when you don't use it, so as to prevent the spread of bacteria as much as possible.
We must pay attention to toilet hygiene, because it is likely to be a line of defense that affects our health.
In addition to toilet paper, the problem of flushing toilet lid not covering also bothers many people.
The flushing toilet lid is not covered
First of all, it can be clear that when flushing the toilet, it is best to choose the cover, which has a certain scientific basis in it.
Our excrement contains not only food scraps, but also various microorganisms, bacteria and viruses, which we can see with our naked eyes.
But once the toilet lid is flushed, then these microorganisms will instantly float in all corners of the bathroom with the impact of the water.
Someone has done an experiment before, when using ultraviolet chromogenic pigments, put them in the toilet, and then leave the lid uncovered, and record the moment when the flush is pressed, with a telling camera.
As a result, there was an amazing scene, and it is not difficult to see from the picture that the contents of the toilet are scattered in the shape of a spray scene, and they walk into all corners of the bathroom.
Immediately after that, the staff turned off the light strip and put on the ultraviolet detection instrument, and found that in addition to the vicinity of the toilet, the toothbrush about 1.8 meters away also had those ultraviolet color-developing pigments on it.
Not only that, CCTV also did an experiment on whether the toilet seat was not covered or not.
The staff first passed the sterile gown into the bathroom, then poured a fluorescent bacterium into the toilet bowl and placed a petri dish of bacteria around the toilet.
When the toilet bowl is not covered, we can clearly see that there are a large number of bacteria attached to each bacterial petri dish.
And when the toilet bowl was closed, another experiment was done, and the results can be imagined, the toilet seat isolated most of the bacteria, and there were almost no bacteria in the bacterial petri dish.
Does this mean that if we don't build the toilet, we will spread diseases? In fact, the filth in the toilet bowl is made up of a variety of bacteria, viruses, and digested food residues.
There are many kinds of microorganisms in it, but most of them will not cause birth to the human body, and only a very small number of microorganisms will affect our health if they come into contact with our body for a long time.
Most of them, even if they are inhaled into our bodies, we still have immune systems that are perfectly capable of dealing with this dirt.
But one yard to one yard, when we know that these bacteria can spread through the air to our daily necessities, I think everyone will develop a good Xi of going to the toilet and covering the toilet seat.
Of course, if there is a siphon toilet in the house, even if you don't have a toilet lid, it won't have a big impact.
summary
As the most dissatisfied place in the home with bacteria and viruses, everyone still needs to pay more attention to it on weekdays, and colleagues themselves develop a good Xi.
It is very likely that the health of our body comes from some small Xi in our daily life.
