There are always places where dirt accumulates very easily and where cleaning is a bit more complicated. For those joints that a cloth cannot reach or for the most hidden part of the toilet, it is best to use a toothbrush or a soft brush. With a little care, you will get everywhere and, most importantly, without damaging the surface of the toilets.

5. Use natural remedies

We mentioned commercial cleaning products. But if there are tricks that never fail, they are those of our grandmothers. And what did they use to clean and disinfect the toilets? Products that they had (and you surely also have) in your kitchen. We are talking about vinegar, lemon, and baking soda.

Together or separately, they are perfect to restore shine to toilets, to remove limescale and soap residue, to restore their original white color and to disinfect them. If it is about dirt or stubborn stains, you can use the vinegar hot (not too much) and let it act for a few minutes. It is infallible.

6. Be careful what you put on top

We do not refer, above all, to sinks and countertops. On them we leave soap dishes, brush holders, personal hygiene utensils, creams and lotions ... Take care that the lower part of these objects do not have any edge that could damage the surface of the toilet when placing them in it or when moving them.

And if any product is spilled, especially makeup, immediately clean the surface. As you can see, with a little time, some essential precautions and following popular wisdom, you can keep your bathroom toilets so clean and shiny that they will look like new..
