How to deal with the smell in the toilet?

Four Odor Sources in Toilet and Their Solutions

There are four reasons for the odor in the bathroom: floor drain odor, washbasin sewer odor, toilet odor and ventilator odor.

1, floor drain produces odor.

The floor drain produces an odor.

(1) Qualified floor drain sewer pipes should have traps or water seals, which are usually covered on the water seals to prevent odor. For example, there is no trap in the sewer pipe of the floor drain, and the smell of the water seal height of the floor drain less than 50mm will spread from the floor drain to the upper cover, which will lead to the aftertaste of the floor drain.

(2) The water seal structure of the floor drain is damaged (this possibility is very small), and the connection between the installation and the civil construction personnel during the construction process is unreasonable and arbitrary. At the same time, the floor elevation of the toilet is not well controlled, and the elevation of the buckle is either increased or decreased, which destroys the structure of the water seal and causes the floor drain to smell back.

(3) Residues such as shower hair in the shower room flow into the sewer pipe of the floor drain and remain on the wall of the floor drain pipe for a long time, which stinks after deterioration, resulting in peculiar smell of the floor drain.

(4) The trap or water seal of the floor drain does not drain frequently, and the water in the trap or water seal evaporates, which will not prevent the odor from being stamped. Make the smell float to the bottle cap of the bathroom, resulting in peculiar smell.

⑤ If the residents of the same floor drain pipe stink in the same place, it is possible that the floor drain pipe is blocked on the roof, but it is less likely.

Solution: floor drain odor control

(1) First, replace the floor drain, for example, the water seal foot of the floor drain is 50mm, or the floor drain is not tightly sealed or damaged, and use the stainless steel brand floor drain with good quality now.

(2) The second is sealing. If there is a gap between the floor drain water seal and the bowl, seal it with glass glue.

(3) Disinfection: pour the chemical disinfectant into the floor drain to dissolve the hair and other residues in the shower.

(4) Water flushing: often use a small bucket to pick up half a bucket of water, flush the floor drain, and wash away the residue in the floor drain to ensure that the water is sealed.

⑤ Check whether the cover of the roof drain pipe is sealed by sundries, and if so, clean it up.

2. The cause of the odor in the sewer pipe of the washbasin.

Wash basin sewage pipe

① After the short drain pipe of the washbasin is directly inserted into the sewer drain pipe, the interface is not sealed, which leads to the odor of the drain pipe.

② There is no trap in the drainage pipe under the washbasin, which leads to bad smell.

(3) Residues such as hair when washing your face exist on the pipe wall near the trap, which will deteriorate after a long time, forming a bad smell and causing a bad smell.

Solution: Wash basin odor control

① Insert the short drain pipe of the washbasin into the sewer drain pipe joint for glue sealing, and block the odor reflux channel.

(2) If there is no trap in the drain pipe under the washbasin, a hose can be used instead, and it can be coiled to form a trap to block the odor backflow channel.

(3) when washing your face, always clean up hair and other residues to avoid staying on the pipe wall near the trap.

3, toilet odor

Toilet toilet

(1) The poor sealing between the flange and the nozzle of the toilet bowl is also one of the culprits of odor. When installing the toilet, materials such as ointment should be embedded in the thrown drain in advance to seal the interface. If the interface is sealed, the smell will be emitted from the floor tile.

② The sealant at the bottom of the toilet was not tightened, which led to the recurrence of odor.

(3) The floor tiles around the toilet are not tightly jointed, and the smell returns.

(4) The toilet lid is not tightly sealed, resulting in odor returning.

(5) If the residents of the same bathroom drain pipe are all floor drains in the same position, it may be that the floor drain pipe is blocked on the roof, which is of course less likely.

Solution: odor control in toilet.

① If the floor tiles around the toilet are empty, repair the empty floor tiles first, and then sit on the toilet and floor tiles.

② Cover the toilet lid in time after going to the toilet.

(3) Wash with water frequently, so that there is no accumulated water or deteriorated water in the trap.

(4) Always use chemical (non-acidic) cleaning agents to clean toilets.

4, the cause of the ventilation fan

Exhaust fan for toilet passage

(1) The ventilation check valve is faulty, and the odor returns.

(2) The exhaust pipe interface of the exhaust fan connected with the check valve is not tightly sealed, or there are loopholes in management, which leads to the aftertaste of the smell rather than the discharge.

Solution: odor control of ventilator

The function of the exhaust fan is to exhaust odor and check the exhaust function of the exhaust fan. When convenient, remove the ceiling and connect the pipe joint to achieve a sealed state; Then the non-return valve and the pipeline interface are firmly sealed.

Other solutions: biological or chemical treatment

(1) Find a beaker you like, put the flowers in the bottle and put them in the bathroom, and drop a few drops of perfume every once in a while.

Lemon deodorizes very effectively. Buy one or two fresh lemon slices in the mall and put them in a container and put them in the bathroom to prevent mildew and deodorize.

Various seasonings are also good deodorants, such as star anise, pepper, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, etc., which can also emit pleasant fragrance.

Part II: Precautions for Daily Deodorization in Toilet

Don't wait for the smell of the bathroom to pervade the whole house before deodorizing, pay more attention to it in daily life!

1, ventilation

The exhaust pipes of bathrooms in high-rise buildings are generally narrow, and the natural ventilation effect is poor. In case of windless weather, the odor in the bathroom is difficult to be discharged outdoors, and even spread indoors, polluting the indoor air environment. Whether in our daily life or after our convenience, the first thing to do is to ventilate in order to remove the odor in time, which is the most basic common sense problem in deodorization methods.

2, moistureproof

Few bathrooms are designed in the sunny position facing south, most of them have no windows, and the lighting is not good, so they can't fully exchange with the outside air, which is easy for bacteria and fungi to breed. Fungi are mainly inhaled allergens, which can cause respiratory allergies. Mild people will itch and sneeze in the nasopharynx; In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as dyspnea and asthma; Individuals can also cause urticaria, tears around the eyes, redness and other eye allergic symptoms. In the investigation of indoor environmental pollution and human health, many residents have the above symptoms, but they don't know that it is caused by the humidity in the bathroom.

3. Choose a good toilet cleaner.

We will clean the bathroom from time to time after using it. If the toilet is equipped with a toilet (toilet), cover it for a while before dripping water, and then rinse it with water, so as to keep the toilet unobstructed and remove effective bacteria.

4, blocking the floor drain overflow

Sometimes we don't pay attention when installing sewers, which will lead to odor overflow. If you don't want to reinstall, press to find the place where the smell overflows and then block it.

5, the method of aromatherapy

Sometimes even if we clean the bathroom, it still smells. You can order a plate of aromatherapy in the bathroom. Its function is not only deodorizing, but also killing mosquitoes. Or put a small cup of balsamic vinegar in the bathroom, and the smell will disappear. Fragrant vinegar is valid for six or seven days and can be replaced once a week.

6, activated carbon or tea

Sun-dried activated carbon or tea leaves left over from drinking tea in our daily life and smoked in toilets or ditches can also eliminate odor. (Activated carbon has a good adsorption effect)
