Voilà! This thorough clean eliminates urine odors for good. Your toilet is now spotless, shiny, and naturally fresh.

No more embarrassing smells—your space sparkles!

Urine traces hide surprisingly well, so don't skip walls or tiles nearby.

Bonus Tip

Don't forget the toilet tank, where odors can linger. Remove the lid, add 150 ml of white vinegar to the water, and let it sit for at least 1 hour—or overnight.

For limescale buildup at the bowl base, gently scrub with a pumice stone.

Additional Pro Tips

  • Baking soda and lemon juice will fizz on contact—add soda gradually until the paste thickens. Fizzing stops quickly.
  • For the deepest clean, remove the toilet seat. You'll be shocked by what's underneath!
  • If near a shower curtain, detach and machine-wash it, adding 100 ml white vinegar to the final rinse.
  • Repeat this deep clean monthly or biweekly as needed.
  • For quick refreshes between cleans, use this paste sparingly.
  • This 100% natural cleaner is septic-safe.
  • The paste doesn't store well—make small batches. Freeze extra lemon juice in ice cube trays for convenience (details here).
  • Substitutes: Lime juice, bottled lemon juice, or lemon essential oil.
  • Add a few drops of orange essential oil to the tank for lasting freshness.
