Salt is known to be an excellent preservative that can not only give dishes the desired taste, but also keep products fresh longer, as well as prevent the appearance of fungi and bacteria.

By the way, there are a lot of the latter in toilets – no matter how cleanly you wash the “porcelain throne”, harmful microorganisms will still be present here.

Of course, you can call on various cleaning agents to help, but they are quite harmful to our health, so many housewives take a different path, pouring the most common salt into the toilet.

It, as we have already said, effectively fights microbes and bacteria.

In addition, salt has another useful quality - it is able to dissolve minerals that inevitably form as a result of using low-quality water.

There is nothing complicated about using salt to clean your toilet.

You need to take a small amount of salt, no more than a handful, and evenly distribute it over the inner surface of the toilet.

Be careful not to let salt get into the so-called toilet elbow.

Wait about 20 minutes, then use a brush to clean your "white friend". A nice bonus: if there are traces of leaking water on its surface, the salt will remove them too.
