Getting rid of urine odour from the
toilet is tough but can be done. Lots of people spend good money on expensive
cleaning agents but still end up with a pervasive odour in the toilet. Most of
the smell comes from stale urine stains that are left from not cleaning the
toilet properly.
The best method of removing nasty
urine odours from the toilet is use ingredients that will neutralize the uric
acid present in urine and also kill microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and
mold with their spores.
My list of 4 inexpensive
ingredients or products that will effectively give you an odourless toilet are
below:
- Bleach contains sodium hypochlorite which has anti-microbial properties. Bleach removes bad odour upon contact. Mix 10ml bleach to 100ml water.
- White vinegar is acidic, neutralizes odours and kills microbes. Mix 100cl white vinegar to 300cl water. Use this solution to rinse the toilet bowl and the floor after washing every part with soap.
- Bicarbonate of soda is popular as an odour neutralizer. It also changes the pH of an environment to that which does not favour microbial growth. Mix 5 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda with 50cl of water and mix. Use to rinse the toilet bowl and floor after washing.
- Hydrogen peroxide has anti-microbial and disinfectant properties. It can also remove odours including urine odour by binding with uric acid. Mix 10cl hydrogen peroxide with 50cl water and rinse the toilet bowl and floor. Wipe clean.
The first step to having an
odourless toilet is to wash every part of the toilet bowl (inside, outside,
front, back, the seat and every part of the cover or lid) and the floor with
soap before rinsing with the ingredients listed above.
Try any of these cheap and easily
available ingredients if you have been having toilet odour issues and can’t
seem to get rid of it despite your best efforts!
