2. **Longer-Lasting Effectiveness**: Because the toilet block is in constant contact with the water, it dissolves more slowly, giving it a longer lifespan. You get more value out of each block.
3. **No Disruption to Toilet Bowl Design**: Hanging the toilet block in the bowl can be unsightly and can sometimes interfere with the flow of water, which can affect flushing performance. By placing it in the tank, you keep the bowl clear and aesthetically pleasing.
4. **More Efficient Cleaning**: With the toilet block in the tank, it works in tandem with the water flow, ensuring that it cleans the toilet bowl each time you flush, rather than just when the block happens to be submerged during a flush.
### Additional Tips for Maintaining a Clean Toilet
To keep your toilet sparkling clean and fresh beyond just using a toilet block, consider these extra tips:
– **Regular Scrubbing**: While toilet blocks help with ongoing freshness and stain prevention, a regular scrub with a toilet brush and cleaner is essential for tackling grime and buildup.
– **Use Toilet Cleaners**: Occasionally use a deep-cleaning toilet cleaner to sanitize the bowl and remove tough stains. This can help extend the life of your toilet block and maintain a fresh, hygienic toilet.
– **Check for Leaks**: Ensure your toilet tank is functioning properly and that there are no leaks. If the water level in your tank is too low, your toilet block may not dissolve properly, and the cleaning effectiveness will diminish.
– **Clean the Tank**: Don’t forget to clean the inside of the toilet tank itself! Mineral deposits and buildup can occur inside the tank, which could affect the efficiency of both the flushing mechanism and the toilet block. Clean the tank periodically to ensure everything is running smoothly.
### Conclusion
For years, you may have been misusing your toilet block by hanging it on the edge of the toilet bowl. But now you know the proper way to use it: place the block in the **toilet tank** for the most effective and long-lasting cleaning power. Not only will this method ensure that your toilet stays fresh and clean with each flush, but it will also help you get the most out of your toilet block, saving you money in the long run.
By making this simple adjustment, you can maintain a cleaner, more hygienic toilet with less effort. So, next time you replace your toilet block, remember: the tank is the place to be!
