Sometimes even though it has been brushed, there are still invisible stains.

Brilio.net - Toilets must be cleaned regularly. You can clean it every day, every 3 days, or once a week depending on the condition of each toilet. The more often it is used, the more frequently the toilet will have to be cleaned.

The process of cleaning a toilet requires a lot of energy because you have to brush it so that the stains can be removed. However, sometimes even though it has been brushed, there are still invisible stains, so many people rely on certain cleaning agents to make the toilet shine.

One of the cleaning agents that you can use is citrus or citric acid. This ingredient is known to be high in acid content which can help dissolve stubborn stains and germs in the toilet. However, different from netizens on the Permana Cuy YouTube account, this man admitted that he had other tricks. The trick shared by the man known as Permana is said to rely on one kitchen spice.

"This is a natural and fast way to clean our toilets from fungi and bacteria that are invisible to our eyes," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Permana Cuy on Saturday (20/4).

So, the kitchen spice intended to be used as a toilet cleaner is garlic. The trick is, you can peel and chop the garlic first. Then, boil in enough water until the water is hot for approximately 15 minutes.

After boiling, strain and set aside the garlic pieces. Then, pour the boiled garlic water into the toilet area that you want to clean. Leave the toilet overnight so that the substances from the garlic can remove the stains. The next day, the toilet can be brushed and rinsed until it is really shiny.

Don't put the dipper in the bath water.
In the morning, just scrub the brush until it's clean... the stains on it are clean
Do it as often as possible," said YouTube @pujirahayu340.

"There is something that is effective in cleaning black and dark toilets and bathrooms. Namely: pour half a glass of kitchen vinegar then add toothpaste (sorry, I didn't mention the brand). Later I will be chased by advertisements. Then the vinegar and toothpaste solution is stirred until evenly distributed or dissolved. Then "Use a paint brush to smear it. Leave it for about 5 minutes then sprinkle it with water. And the results are no less clean than existing brands," explained YouTube @apriltiyas6670.
