How to clean a toilet using citric acid

Using citric acid to clean your toilet is an effective and environmentally friendly alternative to commercial cleaners.

Get your supplies together you are going to need citric acid powder, rubber gloves and a toilet brush or scrubber.

Use the citric acid as it is and pour directly into the toilet pan 100/200g. If the limescale build up is quite bad use more.

Pop the lid down and allow the citric acid to sit in the toilet bowl for at least 1 hour, for best results leave over night. This gives the acid time to break down stains, mineral deposits, and bacteria.

After the citric acid has had time to work its magic, scrub the toilet bowl thoroughly using a toilet brush or scrubber. Pay special attention to areas with stubborn stains or buildup.

Once you’ve thoroughly scrubbed the toilet bowl, flush the toilet to rinse away the citric acid solution and any loosened grime.

For particularly tough stains or buildup, you may need to repeat the process one or more times until the toilet bowl is clean and sparkling.

Using citric acid to clean your toilet is not only effective but also safe for the environment and your family.

Some councils are considering reducing collections to just once a month! 😳We currently have a two-weekly collection, and as a family of 5, our bins are full after just one week—even with recycling and using the compost bin. We also make regular trips to the recycling center, so I can’t imagine going any longer without a collection.I understand the council says it could save £2 billion a year, but I think most of us already recycle well. Reducing collections further might just force people to squeeze everything into the bin, defeating the point!What are your thoughts? Could you manage with a monthly bin collection? 🗑️♻️Dress is from Hopes & Ivy Boots are Olivia Bonas ... See MoreSee Less
