Toilets should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a week and, if possible, a little every day. However, there is an object that we use to clean and we forget, precisely, to clean it itself. We always clean the rags and sponges used to wash the toilets, but we don’t always think about the brush. It is also easier to replace it than to wash it, even though it cleans very well. It is therefore better to avoid buying a new one regularly to avoid waste and save some money. Cleaning is very simple, as shown by Ophélie Bel, from the Instagram account @minimal.daily.
How to clean the toilet brush with powder?
The first technique is to use a powder then spray with white vinegar. The powder is a creation by Ophélie Bel, which she shared in her book called My minimalist daily life. “100 g of soda ash280 g of citric acid and 100 g of baking soda“which must be mixed in”a recovery container which must be very dry so as not to cause the powders to react with each other“. Above all, do not forget to wear gloves when handling this mixture. To clean the brush, put this powder on it and let it sit. To do this, you can wedge the handle of the brush between the bowl and the toilet seat. Then spray with white vinegar.by rotating the brush on itself” and wait until there is an effervescent reaction before rinsing with clean water. It is now all clean.
How to clean the toilet brush with a mixture of soap and vinegar?
If you don’t have anything to prepare the powder imagined by Ophélie Bel, then it doesn’t matter, she shared another tip. This time, the products go directly into the brush holder. Add boiling water, black soap and white vinegar, don’t forget to place the brush in it and then let it sit for at least 30 minutes. You can then rotate your brush so that it scrubs the sides of the brush holder a little then flush the contents down the toilet and flush. That’s it and your brush is like new.
