Introduction:
We all know the toilet is one of the most used appliances in the home, and over time, it can experience issues like mineral buildup, stains, and even odors. While many people rely on expensive cleaners or harsh chemicals to keep their toilets fresh and functioning, there’s a simple, natural solution that’s often overlooked: salt. Yes, a humble household ingredient, salt, can work wonders in your toilet, helping to prevent clogs, remove stains, and maintain a cleaner bowl. In this article, we’ll explore why adding salt to your toilet can be a game-changer for your plumbing—and it’s a trick that plumbers may not always mention.
Ingredients:
1 cup of salt (preferably table salt or Epsom salt)
Hot water (around 1-2 liters)
A toilet brush (optional)
Instructions:
Pour Salt into the Toilet:
Start by measuring about 1 cup of salt. While both regular table salt and Epsom salt work, Epsom salt is a great choice if you want additional cleaning power. Sprinkle the salt directly into the toilet bowl, making sure to cover the bottom.
Add Hot Water:
Next, heat up about 1-2 liters of water (make sure it’s not boiling hot, as this can crack the porcelain). Pour the hot water into the toilet bowl over the salt. The warm water helps to dissolve the salt, and together with the salt’s properties, it starts breaking down grime and stains.
