Many people ask how exactly to clean the toilet bowl. Even the toughest scrubbing with a brush often yields no results—the deposits persist, and the smell remains unpleasant. Fighting dirt in the bowl is often very challenging.
This simple mixture will help us in the bathroom
However, it's not worth losing hope. It's worth turning to homemade toilet cleaning methods that don't require much effort in difficult times. Moreover, they are very cheap. Here's a simple method:
Mix about 160 ml of baking soda and 80 ml of citric acid and pour them into the bowl. You can add some boiling water and stir the water in the drain with a brush until it foams. After 30 minutes, pour a large amount of hot water into the toilet bowl and clean the interior with a brush. Baking soda combined with citric acid will quickly dissolve limescale in the toilet, remove stains, and make it smell fresh, reports "Super Express".
How to remove limescale from the toilet? There's a way
It turns out that some cleaning products we find in our kitchen also have little-known, additional applications. Recent discoveries suggest that a dishwasher tablet can be helpful in cleaning toilets. How do you use it?
The whole process is very simple, though somewhat time-consuming. You just need to throw a tablet into the bowl and leave it for 10 hours. After this time, gently scrub the toilet bowl with a brush while pouring hot water. This method not only removes limescale but also clears the pipes.
Some people also decide to use a popular drink. Cola is mentioned - you simply need to pour at least a litre of this drink over the sides of the bowl and leave it for an hour. Then, just clean the interior of the toilet with a brush and flush.
