4 Random Things That Clean Your Toilet (Really Well!)
Cleaning the toilet is probably no one's favorite household chore, but we all know it has to be done. A lot of people stick to the traditional big guns of toilet cleaning such as bleach, chlorine, and all kinds of other chemicals because they're known to work well.
However, did you know that there are plenty of unexpected ways to clean and deodorize a toilet that don't involve these chemicals? In this blog, we'll explore some of the unconventional yet effective methods that can leave your toilet looking and smelling fresh.
1. Coca-Cola
Yes, you read that right. Coca-Cola can be used to clean and deodorize your toilet! Simply pour a can of Coca-Cola into the bowl and let it sit for an hour or two.
The acid in the soda will help break down any stubborn stains, and the carbonation will help lift any dirt or grime. After letting it sit, scrub the bowl with a toilet brush and flush.
2. Kool-Aid
Believe it or not, Kool-Aid can also be used to clean your toilet. The citric acid in Kool-Aid makes it an effective cleaner, and the added bonus is that it comes in a variety of colors, so you can choose your favorite scent and color combination.
Simply sprinkle a packet of Kool-Aid into the bowl, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub and flush.
3. Alka-Seltzer
If you have Alka-Seltzer tablets lying around, they can also be used to clean your toilet. Simply drop a few tablets into the bowl, let them fizz and dissolve for a few minutes, then scrub and flush. The citric acid and effervescence will help break down stains and leave your toilet sparkling clean.
4. Baking Soda and Vinegar
One of the most effective and environmentally friendly ways to clean your toilet is with baking soda and vinegar. Simply sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda into the bowl and pour vinegar over it.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then scrub the bowl with a toilet brush and flush.
The baking soda and vinegar combination will not only help break down dirt and grime, but it will also deodorize the bowl and leave it smelling fresh.
Clearly, cleaning and deodorizing your toilet doesn't have to be a chore, and you don't have to rely on harsh chemicals to get the job done. With these unexpected methods, you can keep your toilet looking and smelling fresh using ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

Why not just use citric acid?
Be careful what you're cleaning your toilet with if you have a private septic tank/system as some chemicals will kill the bacteria necessary for waste breakdown.
