Unlike store-bought chemicals, tea bags are biodegradable. This means they can decompose naturally without harming the environment. So, it's worth giving them a second life and using them for cleaning. They are a natural and very effective cleaning agent that does not contain harmful chemicals.

How to clean the toilet?

Tea bags usually end up in the trash and have many practical uses in everyday cleaning. They can remove deposits and dirt from the toilet quickly, effectively, and without spending money on expensive cleaning products.

Tea contains tannins that have cleaning and antibacterial properties. Combined with water, tea bags can help remove deposits and stains from the inside of the toilet bowl.

Using tea bags for cleaning saves money, protects the environment, and introduces pleasant, natural aromas into the home. Thanks to its properties, tea leaves a delicate, fresh scent, making the toilet smell much nicer. The aromas act as a mild air freshener, which is much less irritating than store-bought fresheners.

Additionally, the natural essential oils contained in tea act as a mild air freshener, leaving a pleasant scent in the toilet, which is much less irritating than store-bought fresheners.

A natural way to clean the toilet bowl

After brewing tea, don't throw away the bag. Use it to wipe the inside walls of the toilet bowl. You can also pour the tea solution directly into the toilet and leave it for several minutes before flushing.
