Introduction
One of the most frustrating things when cleaning your bathroom is the lingering smell of urine, especially around the toilet area. Whether it’s due to hard water stains, improper cleaning techniques, or simply not getting into all the nooks and crannies, the smell can be tough to eliminate. But don’t worry! With a simple DIY cleaning recipe, you can banish those unpleasant odors and restore a fresh, clean bathroom.
Ingredients:
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon baking soda
10 drops of essential oil (optional, lavender or tea tree work well)
A spray bottle
A scrub brush or sponge
Preparation:
Prepare the Solution:
Start by mixing 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 cup of water in a spray bottle. White vinegar is known for its ability to neutralize odors and break down mineral deposits.
Add Baking Soda:
Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the bottle. Baking soda helps absorb odors and acts as a mild abrasive to scrub away stains.
Essential Oils (Optional):
For a pleasant fragrance, add 10 drops of essential oil. Lavender is a calming scent, while tea tree oil has antibacterial properties.
Shake Well:
Secure the spray bottle cap and shake it to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Presentation and Storage Tips:
Store your homemade cleaner in a cool, dark place, like under the sink or in a bathroom cabinet, when not in use.
Label your spray bottle so you remember what it contains and its purpose.
Always shake the bottle before each use, as the ingredients may settle over time.
