Your homemade toilet gel has eliminated the yellow and brown traces due to tartar.

And you don't even have to scrub for hours to get an impeccable result.

In addition, this homemade toilet gel is compatible with septic tanks.

Why does it work?

White vinegar is a very acidic natural product. It has a pH between 2 and 3.

This allows it to literally dissolve limestone and scale encrusted on the bowl.

Baking soda also descales, removes impurities from the bowl and deodorizes at the same time.

Using cornstarch gives a thick consistency.

Thanks to this texture, the product adheres to the walls of the toilet bowl. This makes the homemade toilet gel product even more effective.

The action of the vinegar is then prolonged and more effective, even if the toilets are very calcified.

The essential oil brings a pleasant and fresh scent and also helps to disinfect the toilet bowl.

Bonus tip

If your taps are scaled , know that you can also use this homemade product to remove limescale.

Just apply it to the taps, where the limescale is.

You have to let it act for 30 min , then rinse with clean water.
