“A spoonful of salt — and your toilet will thank you” 🚽✨ This simple trick fights stains and odors better than you’d expect… See how it works in the article below 👇
Salt isn’t just for cooking or preserving food — it can also be a surprisingly effective household cleaner. Thanks to its natural antibacterial properties, salt helps stop the growth of bacteria that cause unpleasant smells and even works on stubborn mineral deposits.
How it works:
Once sprinkled on the porcelain and left to dissolve, salt begins breaking down mineral buildup left by hard water. At the same time, it helps neutralize bacteria, leaving the toilet fresher and cleaner.
How to use it:
-
Keep a small container of inexpensive salt in your bathroom — any kind will do.
-
Sprinkle a spoonful of salt directly onto the surface of the toilet (not into the water).
-
Wait 10–15 minutes, then scrub with a brush. You’ll notice yellow streaks and water stains lifting more easily.
-
For an added bonus, you can combine sea salt with a few drops of essential oils in small jars and place them around your home. They act as natural air fresheners — and when the scent fades, the used salt can be repurposed for cleaning the toilet again.
This method is simple, safe, eco-friendly, and allergy-friendly. While it may not replace a deep cleaning for heavily soiled toilets, using salt regularly as part of your cleaning routine can keep odors away and prevent buildup.
