Stubborn toilet limescale disappears with this ingredient

The products on the market to remedy the problem are countless  but often rich in chemicals that are not friendly to the environment. Furthermore, many times its smell, although with the addition of fragrances, is unfortunately decidedly too strong and almost unpleasant.

What you probably don’t know is that the best ally for cleaning the bathroom is a product that you probably already have at home. The ideal ally, in fact, is white vinegar and it can be used in many different ways.

Use vinegar to clean the bathroom

White vinegar really lends itself to countless uses when it comes to cleaning.
For example, for dark stains on the toilet, simply pour generously directly on the stains (or on the bottom, if the problem is below the water level) and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes. The vinegar will thus act by weakening the stain  , allowing you to clean it by rubbing with a toothbrush or sponge. In addition to cleaning, vinegar is an excellent ally for sanitizing, so using this method periodically will also help prevent stains from appearing again.

The application for shower glass is very similar. In this case it is advisable to create a mixture of 250 ml of water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
The ideal procedure calls for the compound to be inserted into a spray bottle, sprayed onto the shower glass and left to act, again for about 20 minutes. You can then proceed by scrubbing with a sponge, rinsing with water and drying with a paper towel.

The same solution but without baking soda can also be used to clean the tiles  , both inside and outside the shower. For tiles, the doses are slightly different, since the proportion should be 2/3 vinegar and 1/3 water. Here you can also spray the solution directly on the tiles, let it sit and then remove it with a damp cloth, rubbing if there are stains or small molds.

The other uses of vinegar for cleaning the house

At home, white vinegar can be used for multiple purposes. One of them is  to purify the rooms  : in the refrigerator it will be enough to put two fingers of vinegar in a glass to eliminate bad odors, while in the rooms it can be poured into larger or smaller containers to eliminate bad odors.

Also useful for laundry, adding a few tablespoons of vinegar to the detergent will help make clothes softer  and degrease the most stubborn dirt. It is also a good helper for the maintenance and internal cleaning of the washing machine.
