Overview

• El Cronista (Sept. 1) highlights citric acid powder as a strong alternative to commercial cleaners, advising 2–3 tablespoons dissolved in hot water, poured into the bowl and left overnight before brushing.
• TN outlines a nightly fine-salt routine that targets odors, softens limescale and inhibits microbial growth on the bowl surface.
• TN also recommends a weekly maintenance pass with 2–3 tablespoons of baking soda left for at least 20 minutes, with the option to add white vinegar to boost effervescence before brushing.
• El Imparcial reports a viral method mixing 250 g salt, 250 g baking soda and 25 tablespoons neutral oil left in the bowl overnight, followed by boiling water and a flush, suggesting use every 15 to 30 days.
• Guides add complementary options such as lemon with coarse salt or vinegar with baking soda, and prevention tips including weekly deep cleans, daily brushing, good ventilation, fixing leaks and occasional tank tablets.
