Why are toilet bowls usually porcelain and not plastic?
In: Chemistry
Porcelain is very easy to clean. Plastic tend to form a lot of small cracks for dirt to enter and the dirt might even get in between the plastic molecules. So you can not really clean plastic that well. However porcelain forms a very smooth and hard surface where dirt have a very hard time clinging on. In most cases just rinsing it with water is enough to make the toilet completely free of dirt and germs.
