The vast majority of housewives, when cleaning the bathroom, pay attention exclusively to the inside of the toilet.

And they can be understood: there is an opinion that this is where the bulk of harmful microorganisms and other contaminants are located.

But if you suffer from an unpleasant smell in the toilet or unsightly stains on the surface of the toilet, it is worth looking inside the flush tank.

It is possible that the cause of your troubles is hidden precisely in this place, since the accumulated dirt creates favorable conditions for the development of bacteria, which happens especially often if the house has hard and often rusty water.

To solve this problem, you will need a stiff-bristled brush and baking soda.

Open the tank lid, flush the water for easy cleaning, apply baking soda to the brush and thoroughly clean the bottom and walls of the toilet.

Please note: This method is only suitable for floor-standing toilets.

Wall-mounted models with installation are difficult to clean in this way due to difficult access to the water tank.
