Why does my toilet smell?

Even the cleanest home is not immune to a bout of toilet pongs. This is because these overwhelming odours can be caused by a variety of situations, sometimes beyond our control or because they’ve been left unnoticed and have grown over time.

Indeed, in an independent survey conducted by Aroma Care Solutions it was discovered that Brits thought toilets caused some of the worst pongs in the home, only beaten by stomach-churning bins and odious drains.

The good news, however, is that banishing these obnoxious odours can be straightforward, especially if using a 100% natural cleaning solution such as Bio one™odour eliminator and surface cleaner.

Drain pain

Toilet drains can become partially clogged, possibly over time or sometimes in one go. The unpleasant result is that the toilet takes longer to drain and refill, meaning the water level will fall. It won’t be long before you’re holding your nostrils because the unmistakable sewer smell returns.

Out of action, but not unnoticed!

Again, the overpowering sewer pipe smell can take hold when a toilet has not been flushed for a long time. This is because water in the toilet bowl is evaporating, allowing an escape of those gassy pongs.
The obvious thing to do is simply flush the toilet to refill the toilet bowl. Repeat this until the pong is cleared.

Water leak

Another cause for a foul smelling toilet could be a crack in the toilet bowl. This crack could result in a slow water leak, and like the above, means the water level in the toilet bowl is dropping. Again, sewer smells will find a way to escape up through the toilet and into the surrounding area.

Slipped seal

Toilets have a ring-shaped wax ring inside the toilet base. A broken seal may mean the toilet starts to move on its base, but from a smell point of view, it could allow odours and water to leak. A rather unpleasant scenario.

Toilet seat

Underneath the toilet seat could be a main cause of smells. Urine and dirt can amass, the rest we’ll leave to your imagination!

Growing bacteria

Toilet feeder pipes can be a hotbed for bacteria growth, especially in warm weather. Not only are they generally unhealthy, they can also make the toilet whiff like never before.

More mould

Mould can often go unnoticed and quickly build up under the toilet rim, the result is an unmistakable musty aroma (one that you’ll be very glad to get rid of).

Toilet cistern

The toilet may look spotless but still the smell lingers. The cause, therefore, could be the toilet cistern that is now home to unwanted pongs.

The floor

Of course, the floor area around the toilet could also be the main offender. Accidents and spillages do happen, so the actual smell might not be coming from the actual toilet bowl itself.

What are enzymes?

Don’t be fooled to think that because enzymes are natural they are less effective than chemical cleaners. Enzymes are nature’s very own powerful cleaning tools. Making them the go to choice for customers who do not want to spray harmful chemicals around their home.

Simply put, enzymes are all around us performing millions of important tasks in our bodies and in nature every single day. They are a type of protein that act like a biological catalyst to speed up the break down of organic compounds.

Similarly to how saliva, (which contains enzymes), initiates the digestion process by breaking down food in our mouths, cleaning enzymes use the same ‘enzymatic digestion’ to effectively break down and eradicate the organic proteins present in urine, faeces, vomit, drool, dirt, food, and more.

This process not only makes cleaning easier but also prevents the growth of bad bacteria – the root cause of those unpleasant odours – in the air, on surfaces, and within the fibres of your soft furnishings.
