My mother-in-law called and said she was coming to visit us. I quickly mixed the 4 available ingredients and poured them down the toilet. It smells like an expensive hotel!

Sometimes the toilet is cleaned wonderfully, but a subtle odor remains. An unpleasant smell can ruin the reputation of any housewife! Many household products give off a strong, often irritating, odor. This is why homemade blends are gaining more and more popularity, because you can give your bathroom the scent of a luxury hotel for just pennies.

Detergent and perfume: two in one

It’s really simple. All we need are three ingredients, or 3 tablespoons. spoons of vinegar, a spoonful of salt and regular detergent.

Step-by-step cooking process:

  • Get a small container. Pour in the vinegar, salt and mix well until the crystals are completely dissolved.
  • Then mix a pair of salt and vinegar with detergent, you should get a crumbly mass. Mix again. Ready!

To fill your bathroom with freshness, you need to pour the powder into the toilet: try to carefully coat the inside of the bowl. Then clean the toilet thoroughly using a brush.   The rest of the home remedy can be used to treat faucets, sinks and tiles.

How to remove limescale

If limescale adds to the odor problem, prepare a mixture of one-third cup baking soda and one-quarter cup citric acid. Pour the powder into the toilet and leave it to act for about half an hour. After this time, simply clean the inside of the toilet.

An alternative method is to use vinegar. Economical, ecological and efficient! Simply dilute vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and spray on areas covered in limescale.
