Introduction:
Keeping your toilet clean and fresh doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With this simple, budget-friendly trick, you can easily descale your toilet, remove stubborn stains, and leave it smelling amazing. Whether you're tackling hard water buildup or just want a sparkling bowl, this solution works wonders with minimal effort.
Ingredients:
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup baking soda
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)
10–15 drops of essential oil (such as lavender, tea tree, or citrus)
A toilet brush
Rubber gloves (optional, for sensitive skin)
Directions:
Prepare the Solution:
Pour the baking soda and lemon juice into a small bowl. Add the essential oil drops to the mixture if you prefer a fragrant boost.
Pre-Treat the Toilet Bowl:
Flush the toilet to wet the surface inside the bowl.
Apply the Mixture:
Sprinkle the baking soda mixture along the sides of the toilet bowl and around any stained areas.
Add Vinegar:
Slowly pour the vinegar into the toilet bowl. It will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzing effect that helps to lift grime and dissolve scale.
Scrub and Wait:
Use the toilet brush to scrub the inside of the bowl thoroughly, focusing on tough stains or mineral deposits. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to work its magic.
Final Flush:
Flush the toilet to rinse away the solution, leaving a sparkling clean bowl and a fresh scent.
Serving and Storage Tips:
For a quick refresh, repeat this process once a week.
Store any leftover essential oil blend in an airtight container to reuse in future cleaning.
