Maintaining cleanliness in the bathroom, especially in the toilet, is crucial for our health and comfort. Fortunately, there are many home methods that allow you to clean this area without using harsh chemicals. Home remedies for cleaning toilets have the advantage of being not only economical but also minimising our environmental impact.

Home tricks for a clean toilet

Vinegar and baking soda are two products that are often found in the kitchen and can also work wonders in the bathroom. Simply pour about 250 millilitres of vinegar into the toilet bowl and leave it for an hour. Then sprinkle some baking soda and scrub with a brush. This mixture will not only remove deposits but also neutralise odours. Regular use of this method can significantly ease toilet maintenance.

Another effective way is to use citric acid, baking soda, and washing-up liquid. Mix three tablespoons of citric acid with three tablespoons of baking soda, then thoroughly sprinkle the powder inside the toilet bowl and pour in some washing-up liquid. After waiting 15 minutes, pour boiling water into the toilet. You'll see a lot of foam form, and it's at this point that you should start scrubbing the bowl with a brush. It will shine with cleanliness shortly after.

Using everyday products

Not everything has to come down to ready-made chemicals. Everyday products, such as cola or toothpaste, can also help gently remove deposits and stains. Although they are not solutions that replace standard agents, they can be useful in sudden situations.

Thanks to the methods described, cleaning the toilet can be simpler than ever. By using these homemade methods, you save time, money, and protect the environment. Regular cleaning using natural products minimises lime build-up, leaving the bathroom fresh and user-friendly.
