No chemicals or extra costs: mix these three ingredients to make your toilet clean and fresh again

By Lesia

Not only can limescale deposits discourage you from going to the toilet, but so can odors. Air fresheners are not the best option because they have a strong chemical aroma and are not suitable for everyone. Today I want to share a tip that will help you forget about expensive sprays.

Why does the toilet smell bad?
There are several possible reasons. If the cause is limescale, fungus or mold in the tank, use home remedies to clean the toilet and the smell will disappear in a few minutes. If the problem is related to a damaged sewage system or a poorly installed siphon, you should contact a specialist.

Cleanliness and economy
There are products in the kitchen that can be used for different purposes. They are suitable for baking, cleaning dirty surfaces and absorbing unpleasant odors. We are talking about baking soda, table salt. Thanks to them, you can save a lot of money and create an effective product for cleaning your home.


How to quickly eliminate unpleasant odors from the toilet
So, the process of making a home remedy is simple. To begin with, wear disposable gloves.

Take a small container, add 8 tbsp. tablespoons of baking soda and 2 tbsp. spoons of salt.
Then add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. For the bath, I use oils with a refreshing aroma (mint, citrus).


Mix all the ingredients without adding water.
To eliminate the unpleasant odor from the toilet, you need to pour the prepared mixture into a bowl and close the lid. Leave for a few minutes, then rinse with water, that’s it!

You can use the same product to clean your sink, faucets or tiles. Simply sprinkle it on the contaminated areas, wipe it with a damp cloth and any deposits will disappear without leaving a trace.
