How long to leave baking soda and white vinegar in toilet?

Cleaning your toilet is an important task that should be done regularly to maintain a clean and hygienic bathroom environment. However, using harsh chemicals like bleach can have negative impacts on both your health and the environment. Instead, I recommend using baking soda and white vinegar to clean your toilet in an environmentally friendly and safe way.

Step 1: Clean the toilet with baking soda

Baking soda is a versatile and effective cleaning agent. Here’s how you can use it to clean your toilet:

1. Pour half a glass of baking soda into your toilet bowl.
2. Add half a glass of white vinegar to the bowl.
3. Allow the mixture to lather for about 30 minutes.
4. Use a toilet brush to scrub the surface of the bowl.
5. Repeat the process if necessary, and for heavily soiled toilets, leave the mixture to work overnight.

Step 2: Remove limescale with white vinegar

White vinegar is a powerful solution for removing limescale buildup in your toilet. Follow these steps to effectively use white vinegar:

1. Heat up half a liter of white vinegar (no need to boil).
2. Gently pour the heated vinegar onto the rim of the toilet bowl.
3. Let it sit for at least an hour, or overnight for better results.
4. Use a toilet brush to scrub away any remaining stains.

Step 3: Regular cleaning with coke

For regular cleaning, using coke can be a quick and easy solution:

1. Pour a can of coke into your toilet bowl.
2. Allow it to sit for about an hour.
3. Scrub the bowl with a toilet brush.

Please note that while coke is practical for regular cleaning, it may not be as efficient as white vinegar or washing soda for heavily soiled toilets.

Step 4: Scale removal with washing soda

Washing soda is a highly effective cleaner with similar properties to baking soda. However, it is more corrosive, so it’s important to wear rubber gloves when using it:

1. In a small pot, heat up some water.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of washing soda to your toilet bowl.
3. Pour the hot water into the bowl and let it sit for at least an hour.
4. Scrub the bowl with a toilet brush.

Step 5: Clean the toilet seat

To clean the toilet seat, you can use a mixture of soapy water and white vinegar:

1. Clean both the upper and lower surfaces of the toilet seat using a sponge or microfiber cloth.
2. Mix soapy water with white vinegar and use it to wipe down the seat thoroughly.

Step 6: Disinfect the toilet flush button

The toilet flush button can harbor bacteria, so it’s important to regularly clean and disinfect it:

1. Create a mixture of white vinegar and 2 drops of essential tea oil.
2. Use this mixture to clean the flush button regularly.

By following these steps and using baking soda and white vinegar, you can effectively clean your toilet in an eco-friendly and safe manner. For more information or to book our services, please contact us at hello@khunclean.com or call us at 082-797-3702.
