Introduction:
A clean toilet is essential for both hygiene and the overall freshness of your bathroom. However, many people struggle to keep their toilets looking brand new despite regular cleaning. That’s where this simple trick comes in! Using a few common household ingredients, you can easily remove stains, prevent grime build-up, and leave your toilet sparkling clean. This trick is effective, cost-efficient, and can be done in minutes!
Ingredients:
1 cup of baking soda
1 cup of white vinegar
1 tablespoon of dish soap (optional)
10-15 drops of essential oils (such as tea tree or lavender for a fresh scent)
Instructions:
Prepare the Toilet: Start by ensuring the toilet is flushed, and remove any visible debris.
Add Baking Soda: Pour 1 cup of baking soda directly into the toilet bowl. Spread it around using a toilet brush, ensuring the entire bowl is covered.
Pour Vinegar: Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into the toilet bowl. You'll notice a fizzy reaction as the two ingredients combine. This fizzing action helps to break down stains and mineral deposits.
Wait and Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes. For a deeper clean, let it sit for up to 30 minutes. The longer it sits, the better the results!
Scrub the Toilet: Use the toilet brush to scrub the sides of the bowl, paying attention to any stains or mineral deposits. Be thorough around the rim and under the lip of the toilet.
Flush to Rinse: Once you’re done scrubbing, flush the toilet to rinse away the mixture and leave the bowl sparkling clean.
Optional Final Touch: If you'd like, add 10-15 drops of essential oils to the bowl to add a fresh scent.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Regular Use: For maintenance, use this trick once a week to keep your toilet clean and prevent buildup.
Use Natural Alternatives: If you don’t have essential oils, you can skip them, but they help in leaving your bathroom smelling fresh.
Deep Clean: For tougher stains, repeat the process and let the mixture sit for an extended period before scrubbing.
