Toilet bowl detergent is by no means the only item on the list of useful things. To keep the toilet in order and clean, we need to take care of a sufficiently large number of accessories. Well, since the range of such products today is practically impossible to list, many have difficulty choosing.

To help you, below we will consider what is necessary for the most comfortable use of the bathroom.

In the toilet, a good host always has a lot of useful things.

Capital equipment

The first thing you need to pay attention to is special devices that can seriously make our lives easier.

Of course, the choice here is quite large, but such things deserve attention:

Toilet with mounted bidet
  • Bidet. If there is an opportunity, then it is necessary to install it in the bathroom. As a rule, the presence of such a device greatly simplifies the maintenance of sanitary conditions, which will have a very positive effect on your health.
  • Hygienic toilet mixer. Most often this device is a flexible hose with a shower nozzle. Its functionality is about the same as that of a bidet: by adjusting the flow of water, we can achieve a much better result than using ordinary toilet paper.

Note! In Islamic countries, the presence of such a mixer is almost mandatory. It's all about the very specific requirements of Islam in relation to hygiene.

  • If the toilet is installed in a large enough room, then the sink will not be superfluous. (albeit compact). Agree, it is much more convenient to wash your hands right away, and not to go to the bathroom, trying not to touch the door handles.
  • Toilet pump will be useful when equipping a bathroom in a private house. The pump, which provides pumping waste, usually installed under the tank. During work, he directs wastewater into the sewer, increasing the efficiency of the entire system.

It also does not hurt to have in the bathroom or storeroom a set of parts needed to repair all this equipment with your own hands.

The list of such products usually includes:

  • Plumbing reel for tighter fitting fittings.
  • Set of gaskets.
  • Moisture-resistant sealant for toilet bowl on a silicone basis.
  • Details for the overflow system (taps, valves, gaskets, sometimes - a pear for a toilet bowl of a corresponding design).
  • One or two connecting hoses of suitable diameter.
The tub with silicone sealant must be in the closet

Of course, all this can be purchased in specialized stores. But, as practice shows, breakdowns happen at the most unexpected moment. So it is better to have items available for replacement at hand!

Useful accessories

Household chemicals

Even a fully equipped and functional bathroom needs attention. And first of all it is important to keep it clean.

Here we will need various detergents and cleaning products:

A set of high-quality household chemicals should be on hand
  • Composition for hygienic cleaning. To this end, it is best to use a toilet gel or a creamy remedy: they do not spread, have a significant concentration and help to cope faster even with very old stains.
  • Means for cleaning floors and walls is also necessary, because when the water is drained from the tank, drops almost always fall on these surfaces. Compositions with bactericidal components are best suited.
It is better to wash the floors not just with water, but with a special compound.
  • Means against a limy raid. The best choice would be a drug on an acid or alkaline basis, which needs to be added to the toilet bowl or to the drain itself every few days. The price of such compositions is quite affordable, and at the same time they will facilitate your regular cleaning of the toilet bowl: you do not have to spend energy on scraping the urinary stone.
  • Powder to remove dirt. Typically, these tools are used where the gel or cream failed: the abrasive particles that make up the powder remove the dried dirt particularly well.

Note! When using abrasives, be careful not to scratch the surface of the product.

Automatic air freshener with replaceable cartridges

In addition, the air freshener will be useful. No matter how often we clean, and no matter how well the ventilation works, the flavor will not hurt. At the same time, it is necessary to choose the smell as close as possible to the neutral one: sweet fruit tones, so popular among manufacturers, can cause irritation or even a serious allergy.

Various fixtures

But household chemicals list is not exhausted.

To care for the bathroom and keep it clean, we need:

Pedal bin
  • Several sets of gloves. It is best to take rubber, rather dense, as long as possible. In this case, the gloves can be used for cleaning the toilet and for general cleaning.
  • Waste basket. There are not so many options here: we buy either a metal or plastic product that allows the use of interchangeable garbage bags. A mandatory requirement is the presence of a pedal for opening the cover with your foot.

Note! The tighter the lid, the less there will be problems with an unpleasant smell.

Toilet brush may well have a presentable appearance
  • Kvach for a toilet bowl - the brush on the long handle intended for internal processing. It is advisable to buy products from high-quality plastic with a long synthetic pile. It is best to store the crib on a special stand, in a container with a disinfectant solution.
  • A floor brush for the toilet bowl is also needed. It is better to wash the floors in the toilet with the help of a separate device: so we will be sure that the pollution from this room will not fall into the corridor, and from there - into the living quarters, including the nursery.
  • If you often have guests, then disposable napkins for the toilet, used as a lining on the toilet seat, must necessarily be in the locker in sufficient quantity. The cost of such products is insignificant, but they will be indispensable for people who are especially sensitive to the sanitary condition of the toilet.
Disposable wipes are intended primarily for guests.

Of course, the above instructions for picking can not be considered complete. Each of us will easily add some more items to it, without which the use of the toilet would not be as comfortable as he would like. But in any case, from this list, you can push off, going shopping in a specialized store.

Conclusion

The above-described accessories for the toilet and the bathroom as a whole are exactly the little things that provide comfort, cleanliness and order in our house. It is necessary to approach their choice very carefully, since it is the state of the bathroom that determines the infectious safety of the whole dwelling.
