This method for toilet maintenance is gaining ground. The results are amazing!
Cleaning your toilet is never a pleasure! There are many techniques for maintaining them: with white vinegar, citric acid, lemon, baking soda… A new method is making headlines. It involves using coarse salt, and you will quickly understand why! The promise? Leave the toilet without bad odors, eliminate limescale, destroy germs and bacteria and even help unclog it.
Coarse salt has been used for centuries for its many virtues, both in cooking and for household and spiritual purposes. If you have never heard of the habit of pouring coarse salt into the toilet every night, it is time to find out why this practice is gaining popularity.
There are several recipes with coarse salt for maintaining your toilet. Some cleaning experts recommend only pouring coarse salt into the bottom of the bowl every evening and flushing the toilet in the morning. For greater effectiveness, you can try this miracle recipe:
Mix in a bowl 50 grams of baking soda, 250 grams of salt and 25 drops of oil of your choice (it can be lavender, citrus or mint). Spread the mixture in the toilet bowl, preferably at night to give the ingredients time to act. The next morning, pour boiling water into the toilet and flush.
Coarse salt has abrasive properties that make it an excellent cleaning agent. It will help you remove limescale deposits, soap scum, as well as grease and dirt build-up that can clog your pipes. Unlike some cleaning chemicals, salt is natural and non-corrosive, which allows it to clean effectively without damaging pipes or polluting the environment.
Coarse salt can also neutralize bad odors in the toilet. Thanks to its ability to absorb moisture and impurities, it helps maintain a fresh and clean atmosphere in your bathroom. It is also a natural pest repellent. Damp toilets and drains can sometimes attract pests such as insects or small rodents. Salt, due to its mineral composition, is a natural repellent against certain insects such as ants and cockroaches.
