How to Use Vinegar in Your Toilet: Step-by-Step Guide

1. For General Cleaning and Deodorizing

What You Need:

  • White vinegar (about 2 cups)
  • Toilet brush

Steps:

  1. Pour 2 cups of white vinegar directly into the toilet bowl, ensuring it covers the sides and water line.
  2. Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. For best results, let it soak overnight.
  3. Use a toilet brush to scrub the bowl, focusing on any visible stains or buildup.
  4. Flush the toilet to rinse.

2. For Removing Hard Water Stains and Limescale

What You Need:

  • White vinegar (1 cup)
  • Baking soda (½ cup)
  • A toilet brush or pumice stone (optional for stubborn stains)

Steps:

  1. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into the toilet bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle ½ cup of baking soda around the bowl, including under the rim, and add another cup of vinegar on top.
  3. You’ll notice a fizzing reaction—this is normal and helps break down stains and deposits.
  4. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes or longer for tough stains.
  5. Scrub with a toilet brush or use a pumice stone for stubborn limescale.
  6. Flush the toilet to rinse.

3. For Cleaning Under the Rim

What You Need:

  • White vinegar (1 cup)
  • A spray bottle

Steps:

  1. Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar.
  2. Spray generously under the rim of the toilet bowl where bacteria and mold often accumulate.
  3. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the vinegar to break down grime.
  4. Scrub under the rim with a small brush or toothbrush, then flush.

4. For Mold and Mildew Prevention

What You Need:

  • White vinegar (1 cup)
  • Essential oil (optional, like tea tree or eucalyptus oil)

Steps:

  1. Mix 1 cup of vinegar with 10 drops of an essential oil in a spray bottle.
  2. Spray the solution inside the bowl, under the rim, and on the toilet seat and outer surfaces.
  3. Let it sit for 15 minutes before wiping with a clean cloth or scrubbing as needed.
  4. Repeat weekly to prevent mold and mildew growth.
