Toilet full of plant enthusiasm?
I recently moved into a just this minute built appartment block, previously living an older nearby appartment block across the street.
The problem is that within 2 days of not cleaning the toilet, a green show appears below the water procession which looks disgusting and just get thicker the longer you leave it.
It looks like as the green sludge you get from stagnant dampen left for months.
It cleans away glib enough but i don't really want to be cleaning the toilet every other sunshine.
I didn't have this issue within the last appartment and i never have it growing up either, where on earth the toilet was seldom cleaned.
Anyone any notion what it is, what causes it and how i can permenantly stop it coming backbone?
I have exactly the same problem, and it turned out that the Incredible Hulk have moved into my lavatory cistern without so much as asking.. I have to have adjectives words with him and move him on... he took it acceptably well considering his top bad personality, although he did mention how much he had enjoy the "toilet duck" cleaner I had be using, especially as it was darkened green and enhanced his diminishing skin tone.
Now I am not saying he have moved onto your cistern, however it is worth a peek
It seem like your describing a type of algae. I don't know how this would be possible indoors unless you hold 2000w light bulbs but it could be possible I suppose.
Have you tried a dampen treatment?
That would give you the best course to get rid of it, some sort of tablet put surrounded by the cistern so it can't grow.
hope I helped.
Answers: I'm assuming you've already used bleach to clean the toilet - if try it - it kills most things.
Try to trace the source of the hose down back. Check the toilet cistern first - from what you've described I expect this to be artificial too. Check if there is a cold dampen tank supplying dampen to your bathroom. This is standard practise in UK unusual builds (usually in the loft) - if you own one, check this too.
This type of recurring problem is more predictable to be caused by the river than the toilet itself. Treat the water inside your property as far back as you find the algae. Don't use bleach on such a hulking scale though - and tolerate in mind that bathroom tap tend to feed sour the same dampen supply as the toilet - unless you have a 'grey' dampen system. So don't clean your teeth contained by the bathroom until it's sorted.
Check with your neighbours to see if they enjoy a problem too - it could go as far rear legs as the mains hose down supply. In the short term you can minimise the algae growth by putting the lid down so it doesn't grasp any light.
Just pour a nouns of Caustic Soda - making sure of ventilation as especially pungent(caustic). One treatment should be enough!
