How to Remove Toilet Odour Permanently with Just Salt and One Other Item You Already Have at Home!
Toilet odour can be one of the most frustrating problems in the home — and air fresheners often just mask the smell rather than solve it. But according to a NewsVista reporter, there’s a simple DIY trick that permanently eliminates the smell using just salt and one common item you already have in your kitchen.
Salt, surprisingly, is a natural moisture absorber and bacteria killer. It doesn’t just sit on your kitchen shelf — it works wonders in the bathroom too.
Now combine it with lemon juice or white vinegar — both known for their powerful antibacterial and deodorizing properties — and you’ve got a powerful combo that tackles odour from the root.
Here’s what to do:
-
Mix 3 tablespoons of salt with half a cup of lemon juice (or vinegar).
-
Pour the mixture around and inside the toilet bowl.
-
Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Then flush with a cup of hot water.
Repeat this 2–3 times a week for long-lasting freshness. Want bonus results? Pour a bit into the toilet tank too.
This method kills hidden germs, clears out dirt under the rim, and leaves a clean, natural scent — all for under ₦200.
For an extra fresh touch, add a few drops of Dettol or eucalyptus oil after cleaning.
Forget expensive toilet sprays. This NewsVista-approved trick is the real deal. Try it once — and you’ll never go back.
