The toilet is one of the most important surfaces to keep clean for your family’s health, but it doesn’t have to be an unpleasant job. With the right routine, it takes only a few minutes.
What you need
- Rubber gloves reserved for the bathroom.
- A toilet brush and a separate cloth for the outside of the toilet.
- An eco-friendly toilet cleaner, or baking soda and white vinegar.
- A disinfectant suitable for bathroom surfaces.
Step by step
- Apply the cleaner first. Pour it under the rim and let it sit for at least ten minutes while you clean the rest of the bathroom.
- Clean the outside. Start at the top with the tank and flush handle, then the lid, seat, hinges and base, finishing with the floor around it.
- Scrub the bowl. Pay special attention under the rim and the water line, where stains and limescale build up.
- Flush and rinse the brush. Let the brush dry before putting it back in its holder.
Remove tough stains naturally
For limescale and rust rings, sprinkle half a cup of baking soda into the bowl, add one cup of white vinegar, let it fizz for 30 minutes, then scrub and flush. For a deeper treatment, leave it overnight.
Okapropre tip: Never mix bleach with vinegar or ammonia-based products. The combination releases toxic fumes.
How often?
Clean the bowl once or twice a week and disinfect the handle and seat more often, especially during cold and flu season.
