DIY Toilet Cleaning Trend in Argentina Adds Hotel-Style Guide, Viral Salt Mix and AI Citric Acid Tip

Argentine outlets pair a hotel-style guide with viral pantry hacks plus an AI citric acid soak.

Overview

  • LA GACETA outlines a five-step routine using disinfectant with a 10‑minute dwell, focused brushing, exterior wipe-down, and a final fragrance touch for a hotel-like finish.
  • The guide advises deep cleaning at least twice a week, using dedicated bathroom gloves, and keeping the space ventilated to reduce humidity and odors.
  • A widely shared social-media recipe calls for 250 g of salt, 250 g of baking soda, and 25 tablespoons of neutral oil left in the bowl overnight, then flushed after adding boiling water.
  • El Cronista reports ChatGPT’s suggestion to dissolve 2–3 tablespoons of powdered citric acid in hot water, pour into the bowl, leave overnight, then brush and flush, describing it as low-odor and surface-safe.
  • The coverage also recaps common pantry options such as vinegar, lemon, and bicarbonate for limescale, while noting that several viral methods lack independent laboratory validation.
