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.
