Toilet cleaning product advertisements warn us about dangerous bacteria that hide in toilet bowls. Unfortunately, they are correct. According to research, the toilet bowl can be the dirtiest place in the house. That's why it's worth knowing a few tricks to make it shine.

Maintaining the cleanliness of the toilet bowl is a demanding task. In addition to removing visible dirt, bacteria and microorganisms must be eliminated, and limescale must be removed. However, to achieve this, you don't have to use aggressive, chemical detergents.

Natural ways to clean the toilet

Natural ways of cleaning the house are gaining more popularity. They not only save money but also care for the environment, which is increasingly polluted. They are also very simple.

Although chemical agents are often used, experts advise trying home methods, especially considering that effective home methods for cleaning the bathroom are within reach. Usually, you don't even have to leave the house for the necessary ingredients.

These days, with the growing popularity of natural methods, such solutions can be extremely effective. Therefore, it's worth using citric acid. It works similarly to white vinegar. It softens water, effectively eliminating limescale and stains. Additionally, it refreshes surfaces and removes bacteria.

Simply pour three tablespoons of citric acid into the bowl, pour very warm water over it, and leave it for about 15 minutes. After this time, scrub the area, which will quickly produce the desired effect—the bowl will be clean and fresh.

Citric acid, along with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, is one of the most effective home cleaning agents. Thanks to its acidic formula, it effectively dissolves limescale and deposits in the bowl, eliminating bad odours. It can also be used on electric kettles, washing machines, and bathroom fixtures, as well as on white fabrics, which it gently bleaches. It is even effective in removing mould from the washing machine, working more gently than vinegar and not leaving an intense smell.
