Introduction:
If you're tired of using harsh chemicals to clean your toilet and are looking for a natural, effective solution, this method will revolutionize your cleaning routine. Discover how a few simple ingredients can leave your toilet sparkling white and fresh, without the need for harmful chemicals. Once you try this, you'll never go back to store-bought cleaners!
Ingredients:
1 cup of baking soda
1 cup of white vinegar
10 drops of tea tree oil (or any essential oil of your choice, like lavender or lemon)
1 tablespoon of liquid castile soap (optional for extra cleaning power)
Instructions:
Prep the toilet: Start by flushing the toilet and letting the water level lower slightly. This ensures the cleaner works directly on the surface.
Apply baking soda: Sprinkle 1 cup of baking soda around the inside rim of the toilet bowl. Use a toilet brush to spread it evenly around the bowl.
Add vinegar: Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into the toilet bowl, aiming for the sides where the baking soda is spread. Watch as it fizzes and works its magic.
Essential oils: Add 10 drops of your chosen essential oil into the mixture to infuse a pleasant, fresh scent.
Let it sit: Allow the mixture to sit in the toilet bowl for at least 10 minutes. For tougher stains, let it sit for 20-30 minutes.
Scrub the toilet: Use the toilet brush to scrub the sides of the bowl, paying extra attention to stains or mineral deposits. The baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive, while the vinegar dissolves grime and stains.
Flush: Once you're done scrubbing, flush the toilet to rinse away the mixture and watch the bowl shine.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Tip: This method is not only for toilets—use the same mixture to clean other areas of your bathroom, like sinks or bathtubs, for a natural clean throughout.
Storage Tip: The baking soda, vinegar, and essential oils don’t need to be stored as a pre-mixed cleaner. However, you can prepare the individual ingredients in separate containers for future use. Just make sure to use them fresh for best results.
