Clean the toilet – here's how to do it

This is how you clean the inside of the toilet using only soap

 

 

 

Do this!

Remove the cap, turn the bottle upside down and spray the soap on the inside of the toilet.

 

 

 

2. Use the toilet brush to scrub and create a soapy lather all over the porcelain. Also scrub the bottom bend. Don't underestimate the value of mechanical cleaning, it simply means that you actually have to scrub a bit, regardless of the cleaning product. Do you expect to be able to buy a product that you just "splash on" and then magically make the dirt disappear? Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Cleaning is and always will be a job that requires an effort. However, that effort can be made both easier and healthier with natural cleaning products.

 

 

3. Leave to act for 10 -15 minutes, but preferably longer if you have the opportunity to wait.

4. Then brush again with the toilet brush and you should see that the dirt is now released.

5. Flush, and your toilet is clean and nice.

 

 

Before the weekly routine
If you want to keep your toilet in clean and tidy condition, then try to repeat this and make it a weekly routine. It will facilitate your cleaning as dirt will not have time to take hold in the same way as it does if you wait longer.

 

Old and heavily soiled porcelain
Maybe you've moved into a home where the previous owner didn't manage to keep it completely clean?!  Or the cleaning has been delayed for another reason. Then it is common for discolorations in the bend to be difficult to remove. In that case, repeat the first steps in the evening before you go to bed - leave the soap in the toilet overnight and the next morning you can easily scrub off the dirt/discolouration with the toilet brush.

 

Discoloration from metals
If discoloration still remains, it's not biological or fat, but metal discoloration (green discoloration comes from copper pipes, for example.) You can easily remove that with vinegar or vinegar. In the same way, let the vinegar work for a while before scrubbing with the toilet brush.

 

A little simple cleaning chemistry
Dirt in the bathroom is usually biological, i.e. comes from us humans who live here, animals or the plant kingdom. To clean off that type of dirt, you need a product with a high pH value, for example Västerbottenssoap. Dirt in bathrooms can also be greasy. Perhaps you remember the chemistry teacher's words?

 

Like solves like
For greasy dirt, a greasy soap therefore works best - Västerbottens soap is overgreased, i.e. has an excess of fat at the same time as it has a high pH value, which makes it very effective especially in the bathroom.'

Metals - corrosion, on the other hand, are most easily removed with something that has a low pH value. Vinegar works great! With this simple basic chemistry, you can handle all cleaning in the bathroom without strong and unnecessary chemicals.

 

Vinegar for the toilet

If you have problems with limescale in the water, it can be a good idea to sometimes have a little vinegar in the toilet that you let stand for a while and then scrub around with the toilet brush and flush.

It is not difficult to clean without strong chemicals

 

The bottle contains 0.5L of liquid soap , you will feel that the soap is thicker and more viscous than you might be used to, this is because it is more concentrated, thus 0.5L lasts a very long time. An over-greased soap like this is perfect for cleaning the bathroom where the dirt is greasy or consists of soap or skin residue. The bathroom soap also prevents the regrowth of fungus and mold in baths and shower areas.

 

Bathroom soap has a scent of Västerbottnian forest and is produced by the fragrance creator Helena Eriksson, A Piece Of - Skellefteå.

 

Dosage when diluting in water for wet mopping: 2-6 tablespoons to 10 liters of warm water.


Wood and stone also do very well to be regreased with soap, for untreated wood - use more soap. It will give a soft warm and treated surface.


For "dead materials" such as plastic or wet room carpet - use less soap and warmer water, do not leave soap residue on wet floors as it can cause slippage. For plastic and other (non-natural materials) use a degreasing detergent every fourth wet mopping to remove any excess grease from soap.

 

The basic recipe is old, a legacy dating back to 1926, and the family has a long history of soap making, self-housing and recycling. It is made from vegetable cooking oil, purified and recycled from selected suppliers.
The bottle is an environmentally friendly PET model and is sorted as hard plastic, but can be advantageously reused a couple of times before recycling.
