Beginner’s Guide to Choosing a Toilet: 9 Key Points to Avoid Pitfalls<\/h2>\n

Selecting the wrong toilet can lead to water waste, flushing noise, and stained surfaces, but the most frustrating issues are frequent clogging, part replacements, and bad odors.<\/p>\n

This guide covers two parts: toilet selection tips and cleaning methods, explained in detail.<\/p>\n

Follow these 9 points to become an expert and avoid being misled.<\/p>\n

Clogging isn’t just about drainage\u2014it’s directly affected by pipe material. Rough pipes trap waste and build up scale, gradually narrowing the passage and slowing flow.<\/p>\n

When choosing a toilet, opt for one with fully glazed pipes.<\/p>\n

Method: Insert your hand to feel the trapway’s smoothness. If it feels gritty, the S-bend isn’t glazed\u2014avoid it.<\/p>\n

The glaze material is crucial. Choose self-cleaning glaze for smooth, non-absorbent, and stain-resistant surfaces.<\/p>\n

Test method: Draw with a marker, wait three minutes for it to dry, then wipe. If it comes off easily, it’s self-cleaning glaze.<\/p>\n

Toilets fired at 800\u00b0C don’t fully vitrify, leading to yellowing and cracks.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Choose those fired at 1280\u00b0C for complete vitrification, smoothness, color resistance, and longer lifespan.<\/p>\n

Check method: Shine a flashlight on the glaze\u2014if you see snowflake patterns, it’s high-quality snowflake glaze.<\/p>\n

Avoid water seal depths of 70mm to prevent splashing. Too little affects flushing power.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Opt for around 50mm depth to prevent splashing, odors, and backflow.<\/p>\n

Check the front discharge diameter and rear S-pipe width. Wider diameters ease waste removal.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

But not too wide\u201445mm to 60mm is ideal, as overly wide pipes reduce suction.<\/p>\n

Heavier toilets indicate denser, finer porcelain. Choose over 100 pounds, not under 80.<\/p>\n

Weight method: Lift from a suitable angle or test the lid weight.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Also, check the lid’s inner color\u2014lighter shades mean purer material. Tap it; a clear sound indicates quality.<\/p>\n

For lid material, choose urea formaldehyde for premium, fade-resistant feel, or PP for temperature resilience, cost-effectiveness, and durability, especially in cold climates or for heavier users.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Additionally, select lids with dampers for slow, quiet closing to avoid disturbing sleep.<\/p>\n

Choose one-touch removable lids for easy replacement.<\/p>\n

Flushing type: Opt for siphon vortex for powerful, thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n

Avoid direct flush (noisy, poor odor control) and jet siphon (multiple holes, hard to clean).<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

If the toilet has been relocated, direct flush may be the only option.<\/p>\n

Look for water efficiency labels: Grade 1 saves water (3.5L small flush, 5L large), Grade 2 uses about 1L more.<\/p>\n

Flushing noise should be under 60 dB per standards; good toilets are 40\u201350 dB.<\/p>\n

For water components, check brand, edges for burrs, and ask about warranty.<\/p>\n

Method: Press the mechanism\u2014crisp sound, smooth rebound, and good springback indicate durability.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Brand parts often have 3-year warranties; shorter terms may indicate poor quality.<\/p>\n

Choose one discharge outlet for better seal and odor prevention, not two (prone to leaks).<\/p>\n

Dual outlets are for fitting different distances, a small-factory tactic\u2014don’t be fooled.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Beyond selection, cleaning is key. Focus on severe stains, daily upkeep, clogs, and crevices to maintain like-new condition.<\/p>\n

Severe stains, like yellow scale, often form in discharge and water outlets.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Clean every three months: Apply urine scale dissolver at night, and it dissolves by morning without scrubbing.<\/p>\n

For hard-to-reach spots, use wet wipes with powder to cover stains for reaction.<\/p>\n

With good glaze, weekly cleaning suffices\u2014no daily need.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Use disposable toilet brushes with built-in cleaner; heads dissolve and flush away.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

This ensures hygiene\u2014just hang the handle, no odor or mold.<\/p>\n

For minor clogs, a plunger works; severe cases need gel\u758f\u901a\u5242 (safe for pipes).<\/p>\n

Clean hard-to-reach areas under the lid with nano-fiber crevice brushes for easy, thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n

Avoid replaceable heads to prevent contamination after cleaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
