Every individual deserves access to a clean and well sanitised toilet. However, the amount of work required to maintain a high standard of clean toilets usually looks more than it seems, especially in commercial spaces like office buildings, restaurants, cafes, schools and etc. It requires multiple toilet cleaning products to reach that high standard of those 5 stars hotel toilets. You may have wondered how they manage to achieve such a smirk-free, polished look while delivering a pleasant user experience. Not to worry, we’ve been in the toilet cleaning business for more than 50 years and have provided those same toilet cleaning supplies to some of our clients that we previously mentioned. It’s professional toilet cleaning supplies that not many people know about that 5 stars hotels and top-rated restaurants use. Hence, we listed the top 10 essential toilet cleaning supplies for either your washroom or your bathroom to get that smirk-free and polished look.
#1 Multi-purpose Surface Cleaner
Having a reliable multi-purpose cleaner is so essential to your washroom cleaning supplies because, as the name implies, it can effectively clean almost any surface with ease. Especially those dust-covered and stained corners, furniture frames, light fixtures, etc. People don’t realize, however, that some general cleaners can have higher pH ratings in order to be effective in cleaning multiple types of surfaces, which may damage the painted surface, or protective layer, such as the epoxy surface of a piece of furniture, which will ruin it in the long run. Another factor to consider when choosing the right multi-purpose cleaner is whether the cleaner will also get rid of a foul smell such as the putrid smell of pee, fetid smell of feces and etc.

#6 Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish
There is a lot of stainless steel component exist in the washroom. Naturally, stainless steel is resilient against corrosion and also provides some level of stain resistance. This is because stainless steel contains chromium which reacts to oxygen in the air and forms a “passive” protective film over the steel. This prevents problems like rust and reduces stains and discolouration. However, this protective film may deteriorate when cleaned with a cleaner that isn’t intended for cleaning stainless steel. In order to maintain its reflective appearance, stainless steel also requires a certain type of cleaner. The cleaner will also need to provide a layer of protection that protects against smudging and staining as they are prone to fingerprints and smudges.
