You probably already have some in your medicine cabinet, as it&#8217;s frequently used to treat minor injuries. Pour this cleaning agent into a spray bottle and spray the toilet bowl (inside and out) generously. After waiting 20 minutes, flush the toilet. All you have to do is wipe the bowl and lid with a paper towel. Sparkle guaranteed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/trucosparalacasa.com\/por-que-se-deben-poner-las-bolsitas-de-te-en-el-inodoro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix half a cup of white vinegar with three tablespoons of baking soda. These two products are known for their cleaning, whitening, and deodorizing properties. As an added bonus, this duo is ideal for removing limescale and other hard deposits. To neutralize the slightly strong vinegar smell, feel free to add a few drops of scented essential oil to the mixture. Then pour the solution into a spray bottle and spray the inside of the toilet bowl. Let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then, scrub thoroughly and rinse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t have any white vinegar on hand? No problem: baking soda can do the trick in combination with citric acid, an equally effective product for tackling toilet grime. Mix 1\/3 cup of baking soda with two tablespoons of citric acid. Pour the mixture into the toilet bowl. Let it sit for an hour before scrubbing the area with a toilet brush. This way, your toilet will be clean and pleasantly scented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s teatime!
