Toilet paper tossed in the paper basket or flush toilet?

There are two main controversies on this issue.

One side thinks it should be thrown into a paper basket.

The general reasons are as follows:

1.Toilet paper does not dissolve easily in water, and throwing it down the toilet may cause a clogged drain.

2.Toilet paper is put into the toilet bowl, which increases the sediment of the septic tank, which may lead to the blockage of the septic tank and the unsmooth flow of water in the pipeline, which affects the water quality.

The other party thinks it should be thrown into the toilet.

The general reasons are as follows:

1.Putting in the paper basket can cause a large amount of toilet paper with excrement attached to it to clump together, breeding a large number of bacteria, threatening health, and is very convenient.

2.It is psychologically difficult to accept, and there will be feelings such as nausea and disgust.

Personally, I'm more in favor of throwing toilet paper down the toilet.

Not only does it save time and effort, but it is also safe and hygienic.

Maybe you will contradict me: that may cause the sewer to clog, the sewer to be clogged, will it save time and effort?

I agree with you, but I stand by my position.

Because, the problem of sewer blockage can be solved.

It's just a matter of time and technology.

Let's analyze the causes of clogged sewers:

The root cause of the clogged sewer is the dispersion of toilet paper.

So, what is the dispersion of toilet paper?

The dispersion of toilet paper, that is, the ability of toilet paper to be flocculent in water, is a very common technical index in the manufacturing process of toilet paper.

Toilet paper has good dispersibility and fast dissolution.

In other words, using toilet paper with good dispersion can avoid the problem of clogged drains.

The problem is that at this stage, it is not easy to find toilet paper with good dispersion.

The reason isAt present, the dispersion of toilet paper has not been widely paid attention to.

1.Consumers are more concerned about the thickness and quality of the paper than the solubility of the paper when purchasing paper.

Of course, this is also understandable, becauseThe dispersion of paper products cannot be discerned by the simple touch of a finger or the observation of the eye.

2.The state also does not recognize the importance of toilet paper dispersion.

Let's take a look at the toilet paper standards issued by the state:

<> we can clearly see from the above table that in the mandatory national standard, the microorganisms carried by toilet paper are packaged, stored and transported accordingly, and there are clear provisions on the brightness, water absorption, strength, softness and other indicators of each grade of paper products, but the dispersion of paper products is not mentioned.

Therefore, to raise people's attention to the dispersion of toilet paper, and to produce and promote toilet paper with good dispersion, we can rest assured that toilet paper can be put into the toilet.

Toilet paper is of course thrown into the paper basket! First of all, what is the meaning of a paper basket? It's for you to throw used up discarded paper into it.

It was placed in the toilet for everyone's convenience, and the used paper and some unwanted waste items were thrown into it, but for some people, it became an ornament. Throwing paper into the toilet is the consequence of causing the toilet to clog. And it is also an extremely uncivilized behavior.

Some people will also say, isn't paper made of wood pulp? When it encounters water, it melts and is easily washed away. In fact, there is a misunderstanding in this.

There are two kinds of paper used in ordinary people's homes, facial tissue paper and toilet paper, and the composition of these two kinds of paper is basically pulp or wood pulp. However, there is a world of difference in the strength of the two types of paper. Facial tissues are very tough and do not break down easily, and if you throw it down the toilet, it will easily adhere to the drain opening, gradually causing the toilet to clog.

Throwing toilet paper into the toilet, especially in public toilets, is more common, and some people will feel that public things are not their own, and they don't care about it at all, and use it casually. However, when they find that the public toilets are blocked, they will complain and even complain. In fact, it is their low-quality behavior that causes it.

When we toss toilet paper into the paper basket, we show our quality. This is something that children know, so why don't some of us adults know it? Just like our Chinese-style crossing the road, children know that "stop at the red light, go at the green light, and go slowly when you encounter the yellow light", why do some adults turn a deaf ear and get together enough people to ignore the traffic light?

Think about it, let the toilet paper in the basket at the same time, but also let your heart with bad habits clear.

There are two different opinions about throwing toilet paper down the toilet bowl or in the paper basket. Nowadays, in many public places in China, you will see the slogan "Toilet into the pool, paper into the basket". Of course, there are many disadvantages of toilet paper in the basket, such as the growth of a large number of bacteria, and the increase in cleaning labor costs.

However, why toilet paper thrown into the toilet bowl is not advocated in China, or it is mainly related to the composition of toilet paper products in our country. <>

The paper produced in most parts of China probably includes facial tissue paper and ordinary paper. In terms of manufacturing process, we pay attention to the thickness of the paper, the quality of the paper, and the sense of use. And neglect the sanitation of the first environmental work.

The main reason for these problems is solubility. If the solubility of the paper is not high, putting it into the toilet bowl will not only not solve the problem of bacterial growth caused by toilet paper in the basket, but also affect it. Toilet cleaning and the resulting blockage of pipes.

In this regard, our neighbor Japan has done a good job. Japan has a "toilet culture" where Japanese people not only keep their own and public toilets clean, but also focus on improving various functions to make toileting a relaxing and comfortable thing. Contrary to Chinese habits, the Japanese wash away used toilet paper instead of throwing it in the garbage basket.

Many Chinese tourists do not know this, and throw used toilet paper into the paper basket next to the toilet bowl to prevent the toilet from clogging, but the Japanese cleaning staff is very confused, and they intuitively believe that they are not respected, and even have misunderstandings and complaints.

There are three reasons why Japanese people are accustomed to flushing away used toilet paper: First, the Japanese toilet has a lot of flush power, and toilet paper will not clog the toilet when flushed. They believe that discarding used toilet paper in the paper basket will make the toilet environment worse and breed bacteria, and this hidden danger should be eliminated as soon as possible, so they emphasize improving the flushing power in the design and manufacturing.

At the same time, in order to save water, the Japanese add a small water pump to the drain pipe of the toilet, and start it regularly to circulate the sewage in the drain pipe, so that the toilet flush can be taken into account and save water; Second, the sewage sewer pipe connected to the toilet in Japan is made very wide, which can ensure that the toilet paper flushed down will not block the pipe; Thirdly, Japanese paper mills pay attention to the post-use disposal problem when producing toilet paper, so their toilet paper is very soluble in water, and after soaking in water, it will become very soft until it dissolves in water.

Toilet paper is best still in the toilet.

First of all, used toilet paper will produce a large number of coliform bacteria, this bacteria grow very fast, and can also be transmitted through the air, if the toilet paper is thrown into the trash all year round, the bacteria will continue to grow, and the bathroom, including toothbrushes and towels in the bathroom, will become a gathering place for coliform bacteria, which is unhygienic and unhealthy. So it's best to throw toilet paper into the toilet and flush it away after using the toilet.

Advantages and disadvantages of throwing toilet paper on the toilet or paper basket:

1. Throw it in a paper basket.

Nowadays, most people habitually throw toilet paper into the paper basket. One is that I am worried about clogging the toilet, and the other is that I think it is cleaner to throw it in the paper basket. Actually, no, paper baskets are more likely to breed bacteria.

One is that there are very few people who often clean paper baskets (trash cans), which are very old and thrown away. The other is that there are very few people who empty the paper basket every day. Toilet paper is exposed to the outside for a long time, so it is inevitable that bacteria will grow.

2. Throw it down the toilet.

Toilet paper is not good to decompose when thrown into the toilet, and if it is not done well, it will cause the toilet to clog, which is actually not right. The toilet paper on the market is generally made of relatively easy to decompose, but unlike toilet paper, facial tissue paper is not easy to decompose, because the general facial tissue has a degree of wet toughness, so it is best not to throw facial tissue into the toilet.

Another is the specifications of its own toilet, which is generally divided into siphon type and direct flush type. Flush toilet with a large pipe diameter, so you don't have to worry about toilet paper clogging the toilet. But the siphon toilet needs to be paid a little attention.

Toilet paper can be thrown directly down the toilet.

When the water flow is strong, toilet paper can often be thrown away directly. If the design of the toilet and the connection of the sewage are direct, so that the toilet paper can be flushed directly, therefore, for used toilet paper, it is better to stay away from the toilet, because toilet paper carries a large number of bacteria, and after a long time, it will be greatly extended.

This way, putting toilet paper directly into the direct toilet and flushing it is usually not a problem. However, there is one thing to keep in mind: do not throw away sanitary napkins, diapers, etc., they should be thrown directly into the trash, this thing cannot be melted and washed. It will definitely block the toilet.

Precautions should be taken when using the toilet

1. There is no waste paper basket next to the toilet.

First of all, when using the toilet, it is best not to put a waste paper basket on the side of the toilet, although it can store toilet paper, but it can also breed bacteria and pollute the environment. It is recommended to throw toilet paper directly into the toilet bowl after each toilet use, but it is recommended to use some thin toilet paper, which is not easy to clog. If you have to use a waste paper basket, it is recommended to choose one with a lid to avoid the spread of bacteria.

2. Close the toilet lid when flushing.

Secondly, when the toilet is flushed, it is necessary to close the lid and then flush the water, because the instantaneous high pressure will flush the germs into the air and thus fall on the sanitary ware. Thus contaminating the sanitary ware and affecting human health.

3. There are many bacteria in the toilet seat.

When there is a relevant test table, the toilet seat is easy to be contaminated with a large number of bacteria, and it is in close contact with the human body, so it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning. Wipe it every day or two with diluted disinfectant water. In addition, if the weather is cold in winter, friends who like to put a velvet sleeve on the toilet seat should also clean the toilet gasket in time.

It depends. Whether you can throw toilet paper in the toilet mainly depends on the flushing strength of the toilet, the connection between the toilet pipe and the sewer, and the material of the toilet paper. Toilets with high water flow intensity and a straight-through connection to the sewer are usually flushed with toilet paper.

The strength of the water flow is weak, and the pipe is connected to the sewer is a swing type toilet bowl and throwing paper towels can cause blockages. In addition, toilet paper needs to choose water-soluble paper towels, which are easily soluble in water and can be washed away directly.

Common sense: If the toilet lid is opened when flushing, the instantaneous cyclone in the toilet can carry germs or microorganisms up to 6 meters into the air and suspend them in the air for several hours, and then fall on the wall and toothbrushes, mouthwash cups, and towels. Toilets, which people use every day, can also become a source of disease if they are not careful. Dr. Philip Terno of New York University pointed out that in most families, toileting, washing, and showering are carried out in the bathroom, and toothbrushes, mouthwash cups, towels, etc. are shared with the toilet, which is naturally susceptible to bacterial contamination.

Therefore, it is important to get into the habit of closing the toilet lid when flushing.

According to the current implementation of the national standard GB T 20810-2018 "Toilet Paper (Including Toilet Paper Base Paper)", there is also a section on the dispersibility of paper.

Roughly speaking, a certain amount of paper is put into the first few ears of the plum blossom tube filled with 5L of water, and then rotated and ventilated, and the paper is broken within 40 seconds to be qualified. Therefore, toilet paper that meets the relevant standards can be flushed away directly without putting too much pressure on the toilet.

But other types of paper may not be suitable for the toilet.

In the case of paper and paper towels, we all know that this type of paper tends to be thicker and more flexible, usually because the fibers used in this type of paper are longer, and there are also ingredients that can maintain strength after being wet. Therefore, even if you wipe your face with wet, you can still maintain your integrity, and if you use web, you will often wipe out an annoying white paper foam. There are also some kitchen paper towels that have to be done without falling apart or breaking in wet conditions, not to mention that some paper towels that do heavy work are chemical fiber non-woven fabrics at all.

If you throw a "paper" like this, you will indeed add blockage to the toilet, but don't throw it directly into the toilet.

Toilet paper is thrown into the paper basket, but the correct thing is to throw it in the toilet. Because there is our excrement on used toilet paper, and there are a lot of bacteria in the excrement that are not good for the human body. Because the bathroom is generally more humid, it is very conducive to the breeding of bacteria, so that it is easy to make the air in the bathroom full of bacteria, and people inhale such polluted air for a long time, which will cause some harm to the body.

In addition, there are many people who put towels and tooth brushes in the bathroom, so these toiletries will also be contaminated by bacteria. In foreign countries, people have long thrown toilet paper directly in the toilet. Why don't they need to worry about clogging?

This is because the flushing toilet design in some foreign countries is more mature, for example, the water outlet is larger than that in China, and the flush of the toilet water is relatively strong, so there is almost no problem of blockage.

Although there was a predecessor of the toilet in ancient China, the use of modern flushing toilets in China started late, so it was easy to have various problems with the round wheel, which added a lot of trouble to the later period.
