Mum reveals you should never clean toilet with bleach as it ‘destroys the porcelain’
GETTING your loo looking - and smelling pristine - can often lead to pouring down whatever chemical cleaner is to hand.
However, a mum has warned that using bleach to freshen up your toilet "destroys the porcelain" on the bowl.
In a post to group Mums Who Clean, she revealed how she had been advised by a knowledgeable salesperson to avoid using the handy household product to rid her toilet of grime.
The woman explained: "I've just bought a new toilet seat and I happened to mention that I clean my toilet with bleach... the lady said it destroys the porcelain.
"She said eventually the toilet will not flush properly as the bend will be so scarred that it traps the paper. Has anyone else heard this before?"
The revelation left social media users divided - with some convinced it was harmless.
Brad Plummer said it "does have an impact on the glazed finish" and "we only recommend that [the toilet] is cleaned with a non-chemical cleaner".
