Other tips for cleaning the toilet bowl
Aside from the unusual toilet paper and white vinegar trick, there are other effective tricks for cleaning your toilet bowl. You don’t need to use expensive, corrosive products to keep it clean and shiny. Try these solutions instead.
- Clean the toilet bowl with Coca-Cola

If you don’t have white vinegar, you can resort to carbonated water to clean the toilet bowl. Like vinegar, acidic, fizzy Coca-Cola is very effective against limescale stains. Simply pour the bottle of soda over the bowl and let it sit overnight. Use the toilet brush the next day to scrub the inside walls and then flush the toilet.
- Using pumice stone to clean the toilet bowl
Using a pumice stone on the toilet bowl is the second unexpected but effective trick. However, it is necessary to wet both the stone and the surface to be cleaned to avoid scratches. For greater efficiency, it is possible to pour two tablespoons of baking soda. This will help you remove dirt deposits more easily. After scrubbing well with the brush, leave it to act for a few minutes before rinsing. Gently rub any residual stains with circular and delicate movements with the pumice stone and then flush the toilet to rinse.
- Disinfect the toilet bowl with hydrogen peroxide.

Just like white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide is effective at killing bacteria and germs. To do this, pour ½ cup of this sanitizing product into the toilet bowl. Let the product sit for about 30 minutes and then flush the toilets with clean water. Repeating this operation regularly will keep the toilet bowl clean and shiny.
