When it comes to sparkling your bathroom, many people turn to store-bought toilet bowl cleaners. However, a few DIY alternatives can be just as effective and cheaper. Using simple and natural ingredients like white vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice, you can make an effective homemade toilet bowl cleaner that is great for removing hard water stains and grime. Below, we discuss how.
To begin, gather the necessary items for making your own natural cleaner:
White vinegar
Baking soda
A lemon (or lemon juice)
Rubber gloves
An old toothbrush or scrubbing brush
An empty spray bottle or container
Wear rubber gloves before mixing any of the ingredients together. Add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to the empty spray bottle or container. Then add 1/2 cup of baking soda into the bottle or container and stir until the baking soda is fully dissolved. Squeeze a whole lemon (or use 1/4 cup of bottled lemon juice) into the solution and mix it in completely. Make sure the mixture is homogenous before using it on your toilets.
Once your homemade toilet bowl cleaner is ready, spray a generous amount onto the stained areas of your toilet bowl, including under the rim. Let it sit for a few minutes so that it can work its magic. Then use an old toothbrush or scrubbing brush to scrub away any hard water stains or grime that has built up on surfaces inside and outside the bowl. Finally, rinse to remove all traces of cleaning solution.
A homemade toilet bowl cleaner is an environmentally-friendly and safe alternative to harsh store-bought cleaners. The natural ingredients that go into making it are also safe to use and much cheaper than commercial cleaners. With these simple instructions and ingredients, you can easily have your toilets sparkling in no time!
