Introduction:
A sparkling clean toilet is a must-have for every household, but many commercial cleaning products can be harsh, toxic, or full of chemicals. If you're looking for a more eco-friendly and effective solution, this DIY toilet cleaner is a game-changer. It eliminates limescale, deodorizes, and leaves your toilet gleaming, all while being gentle on the environment. Using only natural ingredients, you can make this cleaner right at home with just a few simple steps.
Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
1 cup white vinegar
10-15 drops of essential oil (optional, for fragrance)
1 tablespoon citric acid (or lemon juice as a substitute)
1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide (optional, for extra disinfecting power)
1 cup water
Directions:
Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid (or lemon juice), and hydrogen peroxide (if using). Stir until the mixture forms a paste.
Apply to Toilet Bowl: Pour the white vinegar into the toilet bowl. Then, using a toilet brush or sponge, apply the baking soda mixture around the edges and inner surface of the toilet.
Scrub Away: Use a toilet brush to scrub the bowl thoroughly, paying special attention to areas with visible limescale or stains.
Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes. The acidity of the vinegar and citric acid will work to dissolve any limescale or mineral buildup.
Final Scrub and Flush: After the wait, give the toilet a final scrub and flush to rinse away the cleaner.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Storage: You can store any leftover cleaner in an airtight container. Ensure it’s kept in a cool, dry place.
Application: For a fresh scent and extra cleaning power, you can reapply this cleaner once a week.
Gloves: While the ingredients are natural and non-toxic, it’s always a good idea to wear gloves during the cleaning process to protect your skin from any irritation.
