The joy of a clean home is unmatched. A spotless bathroom is the culmination of hard work, often involving intense detergent smells and sore hands from scrubbing tiles or fixtures. The last but significant detail is cleaning the toilet and hanging a fresh toilet deodorizer. However, unexpected problems can arise in this process.
After putting in hard work in the bathroom, we often overlook how the toilet deodorizer is hung. We place it quickly, not giving it much thought. But, as it turns out, the creators of these popular products have their own guidelines about the proper use of their products. Many manufacturers clearly define how to use this product correctly. Learn how to properly hang the block in the toilet.
Typically, installing the block starts with lifting the lid and attaching the plastic hanger to the toilet bowl's edge. This is a common mistake and not what manufacturers expect. Although the common method works, it's worth learning the correct technique. What does it involve?
First, take the toilet block out of the packaging and place it under the rim of the bowl. There's no need to bend plastic elements or lift the lid. Just slide the block into an inconspicuous spot near the water outlet. Done! It's really not hard.
Homemade methods for cleaning the toilet - Learn the best ones
What's the best product to use for maintaining toilet cleanliness? Besides commercial products like Domestos, there are also homemade methods available. Some of them are great for removing stubborn limescale and deposits. Moreover, they are really inexpensive.
Try a homemade solution of baking soda and citric acid. It's a very simple mixture to prepare. Mix 1/3 cup of baking soda with 1/4 cup of citric acid. Apply the paste to dirty areas, leave it for 30 minutes, and then scrub with a toilet brush. Finally, flush the water and properly install the block.
Citric acid can also be replaced with vinegar. In this case, mix half a cup of vinegar with two tablespoons of baking soda. This mixture is excellent for, among other things, thorough scrubbing of grout in the bathroom and other hard-to-reach places.
