Introduction
Looking for a natural, eco-friendly, and inexpensive way to keep your toilet fresh and clean? Look no further than your kitchen. Adding lemon juice to your toilet tank might sound unusual, but this simple trick packs a powerful punch. From eliminating odors to breaking down mineral buildup, lemon juice is a multipurpose solution that deserves a spot in your cleaning routine. Here’s why.
Ingredients
Fresh lemon juice (about ½ to 1 cup)
Optional: Baking soda (for extra deodorizing and scrubbing power)
Optional: White vinegar (for enhanced descaling effect)
Preparation
Squeeze fresh lemons to extract the juice (or use bottled 100% lemon juice).
Pour the juice directly into the toilet tank.
Let it sit for at least 30 minutes before flushing to allow it to work its magic.
For extra cleaning, mix in baking soda or white vinegar in the bowl afterward.
Serving and Storage Tips
Well, you're not exactly serving it—but for best results:
Repeat the lemon juice trick once a week to maintain freshness.
Store extra lemon juice in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week.
If using essential oils or lemon-infused vinegar, store them in a cool, dark place.
