A clean bathroom should smell fresh, but sometimes, lingering urine odors can be a persistent problem. Even if you regularly clean, urine can seep into tile grout, around the toilet base, or other hidden areas. Here’s how to eliminate the smell for good.
1. Identify the Source
Before tackling the odor, find where it’s coming from. Common areas include:
- Around the toilet base
- Under the toilet seat
- The floor and walls near the toilet
- The grout and caulking
- Bathroom rugs or mats
2. Use a Deep-Cleaning Solution
For a thorough clean, use natural or commercial solutions that break down urine residue.
Homemade Cleaning Solutions:
- Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, apply to affected areas, let sit for 5 minutes, then wipe clean. Sprinkle baking soda for extra odor absorption.
- Hydrogen Peroxide and Dish Soap: Combine 1 cup hydrogen peroxide, 1 teaspoon dish soap, and 2 tablespoons baking soda. Apply to problem areas and rinse after 10 minutes.
- Enzyme Cleaners: These are especially effective for breaking down urine particles. Spray generously and allow to air dry.
3. Scrub the Toilet and Surrounding Areas
