If there is a room in the house that is most prone to dirt , bad odors and other problems such as humidity and mold, it is the bathroom .
Not to mention the toilets which, by their very nature, are not usually as clean as one would like, even after so much care.
In this sense, today we will see together some tricks with salt to try in the bathroom to solve these problems and always have it clean!
To get rid of the smell in the drain.
The smell in the bathroom is one of the problems that we face the most and that we can least solve despite many efforts. Bad odors usually come from the drain , which can also become clogged from time to time.
To overcome this problem, however, you do not need commercially available products that tend to pollute the environment, but rather salt, which has a strong absorbent property.
All you have to do is fill a glass with coarse salt and empty it. At this stage, let it sit overnight and the next day pour a bucket of boiling water , being very careful not to burn yourself: the bad smells will just be a bad memory!
To remove yellow stains
In addition to bad odors, the dreaded yellow or black stains also tend to form in the toilet bowl, due to lime deposits . But don’t worry: salt, in fact, has a strong cleaning and abrasive action capable of removing them!
Simply add a little water little by little to 1 glass containing coarse salt , until you obtain a more “creamy” mixture and then spread it over the lime stain. At this stage, let it sit overnight before scrubbing with the bathroom brush: goodbye yellow stains!
If you want this remedy to be more effective, you can also add baking soda to the mixture.
to whiten it
Salt also exerts a whitening action capable of returning the original whiteness to toilets that have yellowed over time . In fact, we remind you that you can also use it to whiten clothes and remove yellow stains without using bleach!
However, for this remedy to be more effective, we advise you to mix it with baking soda, another ingredient with cleaning, stain removing and whitening properties. Then mix 1 glass of baking soda and 1 glass of coarse salt with water slowly until you get a kind of cleaner with a creamy consistency, then apply it on a sponge and rub it on the surface of the toilet.
At this point, leave it on for a few hours before rinsing and drying well with a dry cloth. Your toilet will be like new again!
As if that were not enough, you can also use this compound on other toilets , such as the sink, shower and tiles, because it will delicately remove the most stubborn stains!
to give it flavor
In addition to neutralizing bad odors in the bathroom, salt can also be used to spread a good smell throughout the bathroom! In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of coarse salt with 15 drops of the essential oil of your choice until the mixture is homogeneous.
At this point, put the scented salt in a jar or an old jar to recycle and place it on any surface in the bathroom: it will be a pleasure to open the door and let yourself be touched by the intoxicating smell!
