Introduction:
A clean toilet is a key part of maintaining a fresh and hygienic bathroom. One of the most common issues many face is the buildup of limescale and mineral deposits, which can cause stains, unpleasant odors, and a lackluster appearance. Fortunately, you don’t need to rely on harsh chemical cleaners to achieve a sparkling toilet. By using natural, easy-to-find ingredients, you can create an effective DIY toilet cleaner that not only removes limescale but also leaves your toilet shining bright. This article will guide you through a simple recipe for a homemade toilet cleaner that works wonders, while also being eco-friendly.
Ingredients:
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup baking soda
1 tablespoon citric acid (optional, for extra power against tough stains)
10-15 drops of essential oil (e.g., lemon, tea tree, or eucalyptus for fragrance)
1 cup of warm water
A toilet brush
A spray bottle (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
In a bowl, mix together the baking soda and citric acid (if using). Stir well to combine the dry ingredients. Citric acid helps break down mineral deposits, making it especially useful for limescale removal.
In a separate container, pour the white vinegar. If you’d like to add fragrance, mix in your essential oil of choice (lemon oil is great for its fresh, clean scent and its ability to cut through grease).
Add the warm water to the vinegar and essential oil mixture and stir gently.
