Introduction
Keeping your toilet fresh and sparkling clean doesn’t have to involve harsh chemicals or expensive products. This simple, natural cleaning recipe avoids common household ingredients like salt, soda, or vinegar, yet works wonders in removing yellow stains and grime. With just a few steps, your toilet will shine like a diamond, effortlessly elevating your bathroom’s hygiene and aesthetics.
Ingredients
Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed, for natural acidity) – 2 tablespoons
Hydrogen Peroxide (3% solution, a mild disinfectant) – 1 cup
Essential Oil (e.g., tea tree or lavender, for fragrance and antibacterial properties) – 5–7 drops
Cornstarch (as a gentle scrubber) – 2 tablespoons
Warm Water – 1/4 cup
Directions
Prepare the Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, and warm water. Stir well to blend these ingredients.
Add the Cornstarch:
Slowly add cornstarch to the liquid mixture while stirring. This helps create a slightly thickened texture, making it easy to apply to stains.
Infuse with Essential Oil:
Add a few drops of your preferred essential oil to enhance fragrance and provide additional cleaning power. Mix thoroughly.
Apply to the Toilet Bowl:
Using a sponge or brush, apply the mixture directly to the yellow stains in the toilet bowl. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes to break down dirt and discoloration.
Scrub and Rinse:
Gently scrub the treated areas with a toilet brush. Flush the toilet to rinse away the mixture, revealing a sparkling surface.
Serving and Storage Tips
Single Use: This recipe is designed for immediate use to ensure maximum effectiveness. Avoid storing the mixture for long periods, as hydrogen peroxide loses potency when exposed to air.
Fresh Batches: If needed, prepare fresh batches for subsequent cleanings.
