Toilet Cleaning Made Easy

Ask someone to name their least favorite household chore and you're very likely to hear "cleaning the toilet" as a response. No one likes the dirty work that comes with keeping a commode clean, but it has to be done.
Here are a few tips that will make this painful process more efficient, tolerable and effective. Start following these suggestions today, and you'll save yourself time, money and effort.
Alkaline Isn't So Fine
Alkaline can cause rings to form around the edges of your toilet bowl. To remove unsightly rings, pour one or two cups (two cups if you have hard water) of white vinegar into the toilet each month to remove current rings and keep new ones from forming.
Baking Soda
Removes The Odor
Baking soda has hundreds of uses, and here's one that can help remove unwanted odors and keep drains clog-free: once a week, pour one cup of baking soda into the bowl, let it sit for 30 minutes, then flush. You'll notice a pleasant smell and a clear drain after several weeks of repeating this process.
Clean Safely
When cleaning the bathroom and/or toilet, remember to always follow the directions for use found on a product's packaging. Be especially careful not to mix products in the toilet bowl, as it can produce harmful and/or toxic fumes. It's also a good idea to wear rubber gloves and goggles if you use a manual or automatic toilet brush, in order to prevent splattering of water or cleaner on skin or in your eyes.
