How to Clean Your Toilet Naturally
1. Sprinkle Baking Soda
Generously sprinkle baking soda inside the toilet bowl, making sure to cover any stained areas and under the rim.
2. Pour in Vinegar
Slowly pour white vinegar over the baking soda, allowing it to fizz and break down stubborn grime. The bubbling action helps lift stains while killing bacteria naturally.
3. Add Lemon Juice
For extra cleaning power, drizzle lemon juice over stained areas. The citric acid in lemon juice acts as a natural whitener and helps remove discoloration.
4. Let It Sit
Allow the mixture to work for at least 10-15 minutes. For tougher stains, let it sit longer (up to 30 minutes).
5. Scrub and Flush
Use a toilet brush to scrub the bowl thoroughly, focusing on stained areas. Once clean, flush the toilet to rinse away any residue.
Why This Method Works
- Breaks down tough stains naturally – Baking soda and vinegar work together to dissolve grime and mineral buildup.
- Kills bacteria and deodorizes – Vinegar disinfects while lemon juice adds a fresh scent.
- No toxic fumes or harsh chemicals – Safe for your family and the environment.
- Budget-friendly and effective – Uses common household ingredients.
Bonus Natural Cleaning Tips
- For hard water stains: Try scrubbing with a pumice stone (dipped in water) for extra stain removal.
- For an extra fresh scent: Add a few drops of essential oil (like tea tree or lavender) to the baking soda before sprinkling.
- To maintain a clean toilet: Use this method once a week to prevent stains from building up.
