Can I use baking soda to clean the toilet?
Yes, you can use baking soda to clean your toilet.
Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that helps loosen and scrub away grime and stains. It works by physically helping to remove residue from the toilet bowl.
How to use it: Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda inside the bowl, then let it sit for several minutes. Use a toilet brush to scrub the surface, focusing on any stained or dirty areas.
After scrubbing, flush the toilet to rinse away the baking soda and loosened debris. This method can be repeated if necessary.
Additional tip: While baking soda helps clean the surfaces, it does not disinfect. For that purpose, using a product specifically designed for disinfection (and used in accordance with label directions) would be needed if disinfection is part of your cleaning routine.
