Maintaining the toilet in perfect condition can be challenging, especially when regular cleaning methods fail. Fortunately, simple and effective home remedies will help restore its snowy white color.
How to clean the toilet without scrubbing? Reach for a product that you most likely already have in your refrigerator. Dissolve it in boiling water, pour it into the bowl, and let it sit overnight. The toilet will regain its former shine.

The toilet is one of the most contaminated places in the house. Every day, it collects dirt and dangerous bacteria, requiring regular cleaning. You can choose from many ready-to-use cleaning agents that rely on strong chemicals. These are effective, though not eco-friendly.
Gels or sprays for toilets can be replaced by homemade, safe, inexpensive cleaning agents that are just as effective as store-bought ones. One such product is baking soda. Just sprinkle it on the toilet and thoroughly rub it onto the surface with a brush. Leave it for half an hour, or better yet, overnight. The next day, scrub the bowl again with a brush and flush the water. The toilet will be like new.
However, there is another method that does not require scrubbing. You only need one thing—fresh yeast. You can buy it at any store for only three dollars. How to clean the toilet with yeast? Take a cup. Pour crumbled yeast into it and boiling water over it. Pour the mixture into the bathroom and let it sit overnight. In the morning, flush the water. Scrubbing is unnecessary as the yeast easily removes all dirt, including limescale.
Pour it into the toilet and pour boiling water over it. There will be no trace of limescale
Limescale on the toilet is a problem in many homes. It results from the precipitation of calcium and magnesium ions, forming an unsightly yellow or brown deposit on the bowl. How do you get rid of it? Reach for a product you most likely already have in your kitchen cupboard.
This product is citric acid. Pour it into the toilet and pour boiling water over it. Leave the mixture for 15-20 minutes. Citric acid dissolves the limescale, removes stains, and neutralizes nasty odors. Repeat the treatment every two weeks, and you will forget about dirt.
