Cleaning a toilet is no one’s idea of a good time. But it has to be done.
Supermarket shelves house a huge variety of products that clean your toilet very effectively. There are foams, sprays, tablets, cages, stick-on buttons and ducks. Yes, they work, but they are also expensive. All in the name of hygiene, and minimising the gross factor of cleaning your toilets. But there is a better way. A cheaper, greener way. And while it’s no easier, it’s definitely not harder either.
Follow the tips on this page to make cleaning your toilet easier and save money along the way.
How To Clean Your Toilet Bowl
You will need the following:
Bicarbonate of Soda (about 1/2 cup)
White vinegar in a spray bottle
Good quality cloths
Rubber gloves
Method:
Flush your toilet so that the sides of the bowl are wet
Sprinkle the sides of the bowl liberally with the bicarb powder
Spray the inside of the bowl with vinegar, making sure to thoroughly wet the bicarb (it should fizz)
Spray the rest of the toilet with vinegar
Leave for 15 minutes or while you clean the rest of the bathroom, watch a bit of TV or make yourself a coffee
Using a damp, clean cloth, wipe over the toilet itself. Any marks should lift straight off once the vinegar has done its magic. Wipe clean the seat and the rim of the bowl
Then, using the same cloth, give the inside of the bowl a quick scrub, making sure to reach under the rim. Finish by scrubbing the bottom of the bowl well
This will leave the toilet sparkly, fresh-smelling (the vinegar smell doesn’t linger) and just as clean as any supermarket-bought toilet cleaner. With the added benefits of being cheap, homemade and green!
Of course, if cleaning toilets just isn’t your thing, you can always arrange for one of the HOTCleaning Services teams to come and do it for you as part of a scheduled cleaning service.
