Revamp your bathroom experience: Freshen your toilet with this homemade hack

Many people ponder how to freshen a toilet in a matter of minutes. Thorough cleaning doesn't need to equate to long hours scrubbing or the use of costly detergents. You can revitalize your toilet using a handful of household products that will ensure its cleanliness and freshness. This is an ideal solution for those who prefer not to use a plethora of detergents and enjoy accomplishing a task once, but doing it well.

Since discovering this hack, my toilet retains its freshness for at least a fortnight, and I don't even need to purchase any additional air fresheners. Who knew that a plain bar of soap and a few kitchen products could prove to be so effective. If you're curious as to how easy it is to rejuvenate a toilet, then this cleaning tip is just for you!

To begin with, ensure you have the necessary products. You will need: a bar of soap, three tablespoons of baking soda, two tablespoons of coarse salt, and a few tablespoons of water. Each of these components has its own unique function, but together, they form an exceptional detergent that secures cleanliness and freshness in the toilet. Dice the soap into small pieces and combine them with the rest of the ingredients, then shape them into balls that will eventually dry out on some chipboard. These balls will keep your toilet fresh for up to a fortnight after use. It's essential to use them correctly!

Once your cleaning balls are prepared, it's crucial to learn how to utilize them. There are two methods — you may choose depending on your needs. You can store these detergents in a sealed packet and use them directly on demand, such as when an unexpected company arrives, like your mother-in-law. Simply dissolve the tablet, flush the toilet, and the bathroom will emanate a pleasing scent. Even your mother-in-law will be curious about how your toilet consistently smells so pleasant.

The second method offers a longer-term solution and can be implemented once every fortnight. Simply place the soap balls in a cloth bag and suspend them within the flush tank, ensuring they stay put during flushing. An alternative is to place these balls in an empty toilet block container. Every flush will cleanse the bowl, and the inviting scent will pervade the bathroom. Thanks to this technique, you can keep your toilet fresh even when circumstances don't allow you to scrub for hours. I am certain that after trying this method, you will relinquish all traditional techniques, and soap balls will become a permanent fixture in your bathroom.
