Natural kitchen hack: Eliminate toilet odors with salt
How can you quickly eliminate unpleasant odors from the toilet? There's a product most likely sitting in your kitchen that can help. This same ingredient also aids in removing stains.

Clean the toilet till it shines. No need for "store-bought chemicals"
To clean the toilet, try using a natural antiseptic: table salt. This kitchen staple can remove bacteria and microorganisms, helping to eliminate unpleasant odors. Additionally, salt absorbs moisture, which can help tackle the limescale that forms in the toilet.
A weekly "treatment" of tossing a handful of salt into the toilet bowl can neutralize odors that waft from the sewer pipes into your bathroom. If you'd like to experience the effects of salt, just follow these simple steps:
- first, pour a cup of salt into the bowl (use more if you're dealing with stubborn grime);
- next, pour warm (but not boiling) water over the salt. The ideal temperature is below 104 degrees Fahrenheit;
- allow the salt solution to sit in the bowl for up to two hours;
- once the time has passed, flush the mixture away.
Stubborn limescale? You might need something stronger
If you're struggling with limescale, try using baking yeast. This product contains ingredients that help break down mineral deposits. Mix a teaspoon of powdered yeast with half a cup of hot water. Pour this mixture into the toilet overnight—by morning, the limescale should be easier to remove after flushing with water.
