Overview

• A 1:1 spray of white vinegar and water is shown to dissolve toilet limescale within minutes when applied, left to sit and then scrubbed with a brush.
• A fizzing mixture of 1 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons baking soda and the juice of half a lemon deep-cleans and deodorizes toilets, faucets and tiles after a 15-minute soak.
• Bathroom tiles can be disinfected and brightened with 1 cup of liquid detergent combined with 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide, which offers antimicrobial action without dangerous vapors.
• An alternative paste of baking soda, hot water and a few drops of tea tree essential oil removes mold, leaves a fresh scent and treats grout lines with antifungal properties.
• All outlets emphasize preventive maintenance through weekly deep cleanings, daily brushing, consistent ventilation and the occasional use of tank tablets to avoid new limescale and mold buildup.
