The toilet is a true breeding ground for bacteria and germs. Many studies have shown that the toilet bowl is the dirtiest element in the entire house. It comes into contact with various microorganisms that settle on its surface and inside. Although we often don't see them with the naked eye, bacteria, fungi, and other germs are present.

Regular and thorough toilet cleaning is essential to maintaining the hygiene and health of household members. Did you know you can clean the toilet without using expensive chemical detergents?

Home methods for cleaning the toilet

Vinegar and baking soda are among the most popular natural methods for cleaning the toilet. These ingredients have cleaning properties and neutralize unpleasant odours, but remember never to mix them! Vinegar removes limescale and stains while baking soda gently whitens and eliminates deposits.

Garlic – a natural antiseptic

Garlic is an effective toilet cleaning agent. Its strong antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects make it excellent at eliminating bacteria and fungi that develop in humid environments, such as the toilet bowl.

Place a few peeled garlic cloves in the toilet bowl in the evening. Leave them overnight to act on bacteria and germs. This plant also has properties that eliminate unpleasant odours, so in the morning, your toilet will be cleaner and refreshed. In the morning, flush the water and brush the bowl. Discover how effective this natural remedy can be!

Garlic is not only cheap and readily available but above all environmentally friendly. It doesn't emit toxic fumes and allows for reducing the use of aggressive detergents that pollute the environment.
