However, we forget about an area that is also prone to the accumulation of dirt, mold and limescale: the toilet cistern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since it is not easily visible, we tend to forget about this important part of the toilet. Yet a clean and disinfected toilet cistern not only allows us to prevent and avoid bad odors, but will also work better and save us water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article we suggest a wonderful trick to <strong>clean the toilet cistern<\/strong> quickly and without using chemicals. You need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gloves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>toilet brush new<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sponge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>white vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Empty the toilet cistern completely and close the water valve to prevent it from filling up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour half a bottle of vinegar into a small bottle equipped with a spray diffuser and spray it over the entire inside surface of the box. Let it rest for a couple of hours to optimize its cleaning effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then wipe with the sponge to remove all the dirt, then use the toilet brush to make sure you remove all the limescale and mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once all the dirt has been removed, rinse and open the water valve to let the cassette refill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know <strong>how to clean the toilet cistern<\/strong>, don&#8217;t wait any longer and apply the trick described above to eliminate bad odors and make the whole toilet system more performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share article<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important: This website does not give medical advice, nor does it suggest the use of techniques as a form of treatment for physical problems, for which medical advice is required.
