How to DEEP CLEAN a Toilet Like a PRO! 💥
Cleaning the toilet may not be glamorous, but when done right, it can leave your bathroom looking—and feeling—immaculate. Whether you're dealing with stubborn stains, hard water build-up, or just aiming for a pristine sparkle, here’s how to deep clean your toilet like a professional and make the job a lot less daunting.
1. Gear Up: Prep Like a Pro
Before diving into cleaning, you'll need the right tools.
Professional cleaners always come equipped with rubber gloves, disinfectant spray, a sturdy toilet brush, and a microfiber cloth. Don’t forget a mask if you’re sensitive to strong smells, especially when using powerful cleaning solutions. Also, clear the area around the toilet to give yourself space to move—nobody wants to knock over their toiletries mid-clean!
2. Start With the Bowl: Attack the Stains
The toilet bowl is ground zero for germs and grime, so it needs a thorough scrubbing.
Begin by flushing the toilet to wet the bowl. Next, apply a strong cleaning solution (like a toilet-specific cleaner or a homemade mix of vinegar and baking soda) around the rim, letting it slowly drip down. For deep cleaning, let the solution sit for about 10 minutes to break down any stains or deposits before scrubbing with a toilet brush. Remember to focus on the hidden spots under the rim where bacteria and dirt love to hide.
3. Tackling Tough Stains: Hard Water and Rust Be Gone
If you’ve got hard water stains or rust rings, the battle intensifies. A simple trick is to use baking soda and vinegar. Sprinkle baking soda around the bowl and pour vinegar over it, allowing the mixture to fizz. Scrub the affected areas with a brush, and if stains remain, let the mixture sit overnight. For extreme cases, consider using a pumice stone to gently scrub the ring without damaging the porcelain.
