If you thought that a simple periodic and superficial cleaning of the toilet is enough to keep limescale, residues and bacteria at bay, you are very wrong.

This little corner of our bathroom is one of the most prone to the accumulation of these and many other unwanted guests.

However, if you have tried everything to  restore your toilet to its original splendor , the trick we suggest below will definitely do the trick for you.

Industrial cleaning products, the ones you buy at the supermarket, although effective, are full of chemicals that are harmful to your health, which also damage the skin on your hands and cause pollution.

The solution to  remove dirt from the toilet and make it shine again  is in the kitchen.

It is a powerful ingredient, with known disinfectant properties, which is one of the most effective in this regard.

This DIY trick will make your life easier: pour half a cup of   salt  into the toilet and wait about 3 hours.

This alone will loosen and remove most of the dirt.

However, for even greater effectiveness, use a toilet brush to scrub the interior surfaces before flushing.

For more stubborn dirt and limescale, you can leave the salt to act overnight.

Salt is also useful for cleaning the internal pipes of the toilet, preventing any blockages.
