Cleaning warning: Expert urges against bizarre TikTok toilet trend – what are the 'risks'?

    [ad_1]

    TikTok is a video sharing platform that has become a Mecca for new trends including those to do with household cleaning and maintenance. While some of these “hacks” can be extremely helpful in boosting cleanliness, others carry certain “risks”.

    One video circulating on Tiktok, by a creator named @maca_official, shows him wedging the plastic toilet block underneath the rim of his toilet, rather than using the clip in the normal way.

    At the time of writing, this video has acquired over 300,5000 likes and over 7,067 comments.

    However, according to Bloo this is not a trick that should be tried at home.

    In fact, those who do try it could end up with a hefty bill should anything go wrong.

    Why is the TikTok toilet block hack so dangerous?

    According to Sophie Mayo, a spokesperson from Bloo, placing the toilet block in such a way is “incorrect”.

    She said: “Bloo’s rim-block is specially designed with the hook so that you can easily pop it over the rim, not under the rim.

    “This position allows the best contact between the product and the water during flushing, which will offer the best performance in terms of foam, cleaning and release of the fresh fragrance.

    “This method would also not work for rimless toilets and therefore, we would never advise using the product in this way.

    “In addition, positioning the block under the rim could potentially cause several risks.

    “For example, flushing could cause the block to move towards the bottom of the toilet, which might cause blockage and the need of calling a plumber.”
