The toilet is an indispensable sanitary facility in our daily life, but after a long period of use, the toilet will appear yellow stains, which not only affects the appearance, but also breeds bacteria. In order to keep the toilet bowl clean, we need to clean it regularly. Recently, there is a claim circulating on the Internet that toothpaste and cola can clean toilet yellow stains after mixing. Is this true? Today, we're going to find out.
First, let's take a look at the ingredients of toothpaste and cola. Toothpaste contains ingredients such as abrasives, detergents, fragrances, etc., where abrasives can help remove stains from the surface of your teeth, and cleaners can remove bacteria and odors from your mouth. Coke contains carbonic acid, phosphoric acid, caffeine and other ingredients, of which carbonic acid can play a role in cleaning and stain removal, and phosphoric acid can prevent the formation of limescale.
So, can toothpaste and cola really clean toilet yellow stains after mixing? To test this claim, we conducted the following experiments.
Materials: toothpaste, cola, toilet brush, gloves
Procedure:
Step 1: Squeeze the toothpaste into the toilet.
Step 2: Pour in the appropriate amount of Coke.
Step 3: Wash the toilet bowl with a toilet brush.
Step 4: Rinse off with clean water.
Results: After experiments, we found that toothpaste and cola can indeed remove yellow stains from the toilet, but the effect is not very obvious. Compared with the use of specialized toilet bowl cleaners, there is still a certain gap in the cleaning effect of toothpaste and cola.
So, why does toothpaste and cola mix remove yellow stains from the toilet? This is because the abrasives in toothpaste and the carbonic acid in cola play a certain cleaning role. Abrasives can help remove stains from the surface of the toilet bowl, and carbonic acid can break down the organic matter in the stains, resulting in a cleaning effect.
However, it is important to note that a mixture of toothpaste and cola is not a complete replacement for specialized toilet bowl cleaners. Specialized toilet bowl cleaners contain more potent cleaners and sanitizers to better clean and disinfect toilets. In addition, some bubbles and foam may be formed after the toothpaste is mixed with cola, which needs to be rinsed off with plenty of water, otherwise it will leave marks.
To sum up, toothpaste and cola can clean the yellow stains of the toilet bowl after mixing, but the effect is not very obvious. If you want to keep your toilet clean, it is recommended to use a specialized toilet bowl cleaner. At the same time, in order to maintain the hygiene of the toilet, we should also clean it regularly to keep the toilet dry and ventilated.
