A wet pumice stone gently scrubs away stubborn limescale or rust without scratching porcelain. Keep the stone and toilet surface wet while scrubbing.
5. Hydrogen Peroxide for Disinfecting
Pour 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide into the toilet bowl and let it sit for 20–30 minutes. It kills germs, whitens stains, and deodorizes naturally.
6. Dryer Sheets to Prevent Grime
Place a dryer sheet in the tank or rub the inside of the bowl with a used dryer sheet. It helps prevent lime and dirt buildup and leaves a subtle fresh scent.
7. Essential Oils for Fresh-Smelling Bowls
Add a few drops of tea tree, lavender, or lemon essential oil to the bowl or tank. The oils have antibacterial properties and keep your toilet smelling fresh.
8. Toilet Brush in a Lemon-Vinegar Solution
Soak your toilet brush in a mix of lemon juice and vinegar for 10–15 minutes. This naturally disinfects the brush and removes any leftover grime before the next cleaning.
