Keeping the toilet clean is one of the challenges at home. How can you manage this without using chemicals? Fortunately, there are natural methods that are just as effective, and some of them don't even require the use of baking soda or vinegar.

Learn one of the ways to thoroughly clean and disinfect the toilet using garlic and black tea.

Garlic and tea mixture - a way to a clean toilet

Garlic has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, which help disinfect the toilet surface. Its allicin inhibits the growth of some harmful bacteria.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 bag of black tea
  • water

Preparation:

            
  • Peel two cloves of garlic and put them in a pot,
  • Cover the garlic completely with water,
  • Put the pot on low heat and bring the mixture to a boil,
  • When the water starts to bubble, add the black tea bag,
  • Let the tea steep for a few minutes.

Toilet like new

Next, pour the mixture - not too hot - into the toilet, trying to evenly distribute the liquid over the entire surface of the toilet bowl. Close the lid and leave it for the whole night.

In the morning, flush the toilet with water before using it. You can use a toilet brush to remove any remaining dirt if necessary. However, this will not be necessary in most cases.

You can also add a few drops of essential oil, such as tea tree or eucalyptus, to enhance the antibacterial effect and give a pleasant scent.

Remember, regular toilet cleaning is the key to maintaining hygiene and preventing the growth of bacteria.
