Introduction: When it comes to cleaning, most people turn to well-known chemical cleaners to disinfect and remove odors. However, there’s an unexpected powerhouse sitting in your kitchen that can do wonders for your toilet cleaning routine: garlic. Yes, this humble bulb is more than just a culinary favorite—it’s an effective natural cleaner with antibacterial properties. Garlic has been used for centuries in various cultures for its medicinal and cleaning benefits, and now it’s gaining popularity as an eco-friendly, non-toxic alternative for tackling toilet grime. In this article, we’ll explore how garlic can help keep your toilet sparkling clean while providing some additional benefits you might not expect.
Ingredients:
4-5 fresh garlic cloves
1 cup of white vinegar
1 tablespoon of baking soda
2 cups of warm water
Optional: 10 drops of essential oil (like lemon or tea tree) for added freshness
Instructions:
Prepare the Garlic Solution: Peel and crush 4-5 garlic cloves to release their natural juices and oils. You can use a garlic press or simply chop the cloves finely. Combine the crushed garlic with 1 cup of white vinegar in a bowl. Stir the mixture and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the garlic to infuse the vinegar.
Add Baking Soda: After the garlic has infused the vinegar, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the mixture. This will create a fizzy, bubbling reaction, which helps to lift dirt and stains from the toilet bowl.
