Next, pour the mixture—ensuring it is not too hot—into the toilet, trying to distribute the liquid evenly over the entire surface of the bowl. Close the lid and leave it for the whole night.
In the morning, flush the toilet with water before using it. If necessary, you can use a toilet brush to remove any remaining dirt. However, this will not be necessary in most cases.
You can also add a few drops of essential oil, such as tea tree or eucalyptus, to enhance the antibacterial effect and give a pleasant scent.
Remember, regular cleaning of the toilet is vital to maintaining hygiene and preventing the growth of bacteria.
