How exactly should you clean the toilet bowl? This is a common question. Often, even the toughest scrubbing with a brush yields no results—the deposits persist, and the smell remains unpleasant. Fighting dirt in the bowl is often very challenging.
This simple mixture will help in the bathroom
However, it's not worth losing hope. In difficult times, it's beneficial to turn to homemade toilet cleaning methods that don't require much effort. Moreover, they are very inexpensive. Here's a simple method:
Mix about 2/3 cup of baking soda and 1/3 cup of citric acid and pour the mixture into the bowl. You can add some boiling water and stir the water in the drain with a brush until it foams. After 30 minutes, pour a large amount of hot water into the toilet bowl and clean the interior with a brush. Baking soda combined with citric acid will quickly dissolve limescale in the toilet, remove stains, and make it smell fresh, reports "Super Express".
How to remove limescale from the toilet? there's a way
It turns out that some cleaning products we find in our kitchen have additional and little-known applications. Recent discoveries suggest that a dishwasher tablet can be helpful in cleaning toilets. How to use it?
The whole process is very simple, though somewhat time-consuming. You just need to throw a tablet into the bowl and leave it for 10 hours. After this time, gently scrub the toilet bowl with a brush while pouring hot water. This method not only removes limescale but also clears the pipes.
Some people also decide to use a popular drink. Cola is mentioned—simply pour at least a quart of this drink over the sides of the bowl and leave it for an hour. Then, clean the interior of the toilet with a brush and flush.
