If you thought that a simple periodic and superficial cleaning of the toilet was enough to keep limescale, residue and bacteria away, you are sorely mistaken.
This corner of our bathroom is one of the most prone to the accumulation of these unwanted guests and many others.
However, if you have tried everything to restore your toilet to its original splendor, the trick we propose below will certainly do the trick for you.
Why do you need to pour salt into the toilet bowl?
Thanks to its abrasive action, salt descales surfaces and removes yellow stains, embedded in the bottom of the toilet bowl and shower walls.
In addition to being a natural stain remover, salt also eliminates bad odors and unclogs toilet pipes.
Moreover, the toilet can easily become clogged, if you throw tampons, or wipes in the bowl. It is for this reason that only natural waste and toilet paper should end up in the bowl. The rest should be thrown in the trash.
If your toilet is clogged and smells bad, use salt. To do this, simply pour a glass of salt into the bowl, leave on for a few minutes and flush.
To maintain your toilet and prevent it from becoming clogged, pour once a month, a tablespoon of salt into the bowl with boiling water. Leave on for 15 minutes and flush.
Moreover, boiling water is also effective for unclogging the toilet pipe, provided that the plug is not very important.
You can pour a bucket of boiling water into the bowl, or heat half a liter of white vinegar with a liter of water to optimize the result.
Pour your mixture into the bowl and leave on for 30 minutes.
Note that you can use the salt itself to unclog the pipes in the kitchen sink or bathroom sinks.
