Introduction: Keeping your toilet clean and fresh doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune on harsh chemicals. Many commercial cleaning products are filled with strong fragrances and toxic ingredients that can irritate your skin and harm the environment. Thankfully, there’s a simple, effective, and eco-friendly solution that you can whip up in your own home. By combining just three common household ingredients, you can clean your toilet naturally while eliminating bacteria, stains, and odors. The best part? It’s all chemical-free and inexpensive! Let’s dive into how you can make your own toilet cleaner and keep your bathroom fresh.
Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
1 cup white vinegar
10-15 drops of essential oil (optional, for fragrance)
Instructions:
Prepare the Toilet Bowl:
Start by giving the toilet bowl a quick flush to wet the surface. This will help the cleaning mixture adhere to the sides of the bowl.
Add Baking Soda:
Sprinkle 1 cup of baking soda directly into the toilet bowl. Be sure to cover the sides and any stains that may be present. Baking soda is mildly abrasive and will help scrub away grime and stains without damaging your toilet.
Add Vinegar:
Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into the bowl over the baking soda. You’ll notice a fizzing reaction as the two ingredients combine. This reaction helps to lift stains, kill germs, and deodorize the toilet. Allow the mixture to sit and fizz for about 5-10 minutes to let the ingredients work their magic.
Optional: Add Essential Oils:
