Mrs Hinch fans are going mad for a 20p trick to clean the loo – and it can be done in just minutes
AS far as cleaning the bathroom goes, it’s not the nicest of household chores – but it needs to be done anyway.
Grim smells can sometimes linger in your toilet even after it’s been cleaned.
But fans of cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch have a whole other hack to banish gross smells and it will only cost you 29p.
This comes after one homeowner posted on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks group on Facebook.
She said: “Can anyone help me I’ve tried everything to get rid of the awful urine smell in my loo?
“I’ve tried bicarbonate of soda, shaving foam, bleach, different toilet cleaners, toilet powder but nothing is shifting it.”
After sharing her problem on the social media page the cleaning whizzes suggested using white vinegar to banish the smell.
“Try white vinegar. We used this when we were training puppies and seemed to do the job,” one person commented.
A second agreed: “White vinegar. It’s the natural opposite of urine on the table of elements.
“It is a natural odour neutraliser as well. You’ll find the smell will be gone after 10 minutes.”
And another cleaning fan admitted he had a similar problem, he explained: “I had this same issue too, it was driving me mad.
“I’ve just tried white vinegar last night and there’s no longer any bad smell.”
According to the keen cleaners, the key to using white vinegar is leaving it to soak in your toilet for long enough for the smell to vanish.
“Use white vinegar but make sure you’re letting it sit. We all have a tendency to spray and wipe within a few minutes.
“It needs to sit for some time to actually work the way it should,” one woman said.
If you don’t already have white vinegar at home you can grab a bottle in your local supermarket for as little as 20p – which is a lot cheaper than other toilet cleaners.
