The question of whether to put toilet paper in the toilet bowl or the trash can is a topic of debate, as it varies from country to country and from family to family. Some people believe that throwing toilet paper in the toilet bowl causes clogs, so they put up a sign in the bathroom that says: “Do not throw toilet paper in the toilet bowl.”
However, some people have absolute faith in the toilet bowl and believe that toilet paper must be thrown into it. This is because used toilet paper is very dirty, the air in the bathroom does not circulate well, and hot weather in summer can cause bacteria to grow and produce unpleasant odors, leading to pollution.
Just imagine that the towels and toothbrushes we usually use are placed in the bathroom, and you can imagine the impact of this.
So who is right and who is wrong? In fact, this question needs to be considered based on various factors, including the type of toilet paper used, the force of the toilet bowl, etc.
First of all, if the force from the toilet bowl is strong, it will be easier to flush the toilet paper down, and it will not easily cause the drainage pipe to clog or the toilet paper to remain on the water surface in the toilet bowl.
If the force from the toilet bowl is relatively weak, especially with those “squat toilets,” it is best to throw the toilet paper in the trash can. Otherwise, after flushing several times, the toilet paper will still be difficult to flow down.
Secondly, you need to know if the type of toilet paper you are using can dissolve quickly in water. This is a very important factor, because the better the toilet paper dissolves in water, the less likely it is to clog the toilet bowl.
To evaluate the solubility of toilet paper in water, you just need to throw a piece of toilet paper into a bowl of water, stir it with a chopstick, and see if the paper can dissolve. If the paper dissolves into small pieces, then the solubility of the paper in water is very good, and you can safely throw the paper in the toilet bowl after use.
In addition, the drainage system in your area also plays a crucial role in whether throwing toilet paper in the toilet bowl causes clogs or not. If the drainage system is good, then the likelihood of the toilet bowl getting clogged when toilet paper is thrown in is low.
However, older houses may have relatively poor drainage systems. It is fine to throw 1-2 pieces of toilet paper in the toilet bowl, but in the long run, it can cause a clogging disaster.
Based on these factors, I hope you can make a decision on whether to throw toilet paper in the toilet bowl or in the trash can. If you have no other choice but to throw toilet paper in the trash can, it is best to choose a trash can with a lid to avoid odors and airborne bacteria, and to prevent environmental pollution. Additionally, you should regularly replace the trash bag and clean the trash can to ensure hygiene.
