Keeping your bathroom clean, and especially your toilet clean, is key to a hygienic and fresh home. Although cleaning the toilet can be an unpopular chore for many of us, we present a simple trick that turns this routine chore into a breeze. Popular even in hotels for its effectiveness and simplicity, this trick uses dishwasher tablets to remove limescale and other stubborn deposits in the toilet.
Why dishwasher tablets work on the toilet too
According to information from the TasteOfHome website, dishwasher tablets contain powerful cleaning agents that are able to dissolve hard water stains and leave the surface of the toilet bowl shiny and fresh. But before using, make sure your dishwasher tablets don’t contain any substances that could damage the surface of your toilet bowl.
How to do it.
Using dishwasher tablets to clean your toilet is very simple. Follow these steps:
1) Preparation: Boil at least a liter of hot water and pour it into a toilet bowl. This step helps soften stubborn deposits.
2) Cleaning: Add two dishwasher tablets directly to the water in the bowl. It is ideal if you can leave the tablets overnight. If you don’t have the time, even short-term exposure can be effective.
3) Finish: In the morning, or after sufficient time of exposure, take a scrub brush and scrub the entire toilet bowl thoroughly. Then flush.
For particularly stubborn stains, you can also use the tablet directly on the deposits: Wet the edge of the tablet and use it to wipe the problem areas. Then leave on and finish cleaning with a brush and rinse.
