For a natural cleaning of the house and in particular of bathrooms, white vinegar is often recommended. To descale toilets, this is the star product to always have at hand. Here’s an unusual way to use it that will surprise you.
Why wet toilet paper with white vinegar?
The toilet paper and white vinegar trick can be a real alternative to certain industrial household products. The latter being most of the time toxic and bad for health and the environment, they do not always give the expected results.
We no longer present the many virtues of white vinegar. The secret of this ingredient lies in its acetic acid content. It is therefore formidable against traces of limescale, mould and bad odours. It can be used to disinfect the toilet and prevent limescale and yellow stains from settling on the bowl. To do this, simply distribute toilet paper evenly over the toilet bowl and then spray it with white vinegar. Leave on for a few hours or overnight. Remove the paper, scrub with a bath brush, and then discharge. Bad smells and stubborn marks will disappear from your bowl!

It is possible to use toilet paper soaked in white vinegar to brighten furniture or any other dirty surfaces in the house. Some people use it to shine their shoes and give them a second life.

Other tips for cleaning the toilet bowl
Aside from the unusual toilet paper and white vinegar trick, there are other effective tricks for cleaning the toilet bowl. You don’t need to use corrosive and expensive products to keep it clean and shiny. Try these solutions instead.

If you don’t have white vinegar, you can use carbonated water to clean the toilet bowl. Like vinegar, acidic and carbonated Coca-Cola is very effective against limescale stains. Simply pour the soda bottle over the bowl and let it sit overnight. Use the toilet brush the next day to scrub the internal walls and then flush the toilet.
Using the pumice stone in the toilet bowl is the second unexpected but effective trick. However, it is necessary to moisten both the stone and the surface to be cleaned to avoid scratches. For efficiency, it is possible to pour two tablespoons of baking soda. This will help you remove dirt deposits more easily. After scrubbing well with the brush, leave on for a few minutes before rinsing. Gently rub the residual stains in a gentle, circular motion with the pumice stone and then flush the flush to rinse.

Like white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide is effective at killing bacteria and germs. To do this, pour 1/2 cup of this sanitizing product into the toilet bowl. Let the product sit for about 30 minutes and then flush the toilets with clean water. By repeating this operation regularly, you will keep the toilet bowl clean and shiny.
