Ditch the chemicals: Glowing cleanliness with vinegar & baking soda

Cleaning the toilet isn't one of the most pleasant tasks, but keeping it perfectly clean doesn't always have to involve strong, corrosive fluids. Natural products can be a better alternative, effectively cleaning and keeping it fresh for a long time.

The simplest and most effective natural cleaning agent is vinegar. It's a much cheaper and more environmentally friendly substitute that tackles dirt effortlessly. With vinegar, you'll eliminate unwanted deposits with minimal effort. It works great for the toilet and removes streaks and limescale in the shower or sink.

Baking soda is another agent that effectively handles dirt. It has whitening, antibacterial, and cleansing properties. With it, you can eliminate all stains and impurities. For best results, pour half a cup of baking soda into the bowl and then add the same amount of vinegar. This mixture will quickly react, producing foam that eliminates all dirt, bacteria, and unpleasant odors.

Besides using natural cleaning agents, it's worth making a natural toilet cleaner tab. This will ensure cleanliness and a pleasant scent throughout the bathroom.

Start by grating two bars of soap using a coarse grater. Put the shavings into a pot and add about 3.4 fluid ounces of water. Heat the pot on the stove, stirring until everything is thoroughly dissolved. Then, add a little floor cleaner. Once the solution is ready and slightly cooled, pour it into ice cube molds and place them in the freezer. After a few hours, when the cubes are frozen, you can place them in a plastic basket from an old toilet cleaner or mount them on a wire to hang them on the bowl.
