We all have places at home that we go to very often, and one of them is the toilet. A very important place in everyday life, and therefore it is very important that it is clean. But today we’re not talking about the whole toilet, just the majestic white throne in the middle of it.
How to keep it clean
There are lots of different ways to clean a toilet, but most people use household chemicals. To choose the right ones, you need to know a few things: how it behaves during the reaction — the moment you apply it to the surface — and how it behaves afterwards and whether it washes off easily with water. Usually, all this is written on the product’s packaging or on the bottle.
Method number 1
The advantage of this product is that it not only helps you to clean your toilet, but also helps to break up any blockage that may have formed. Well, the detailed recipe with measurements is at the end.
The recipe itself is quite simple. We need to take baking soda and pour it into the toilet.
Then we have to pour the vinegar in there and wait for the chemical reaction to start.

If the proportions are right, the foam will be enough to thoroughly clean our white throne. And we shouldn’t even worry that the foam will settle fast enough. It’s still enough for the procedure.
The proportions in a separate list for easy reference:
- Soda. We need quite a lot of it, take half a glass, you won’t go wrong;
- Vinegar. This is important. Nine percent vinegar is fine for us. Also, the vinegar is only half a glass.
