### Step 4: Scrub the Toilet Bowl
While the toilet cleaner is working its magic, grab your toilet brush. Using firm strokes, scrub the inside of the toilet bowl. Focus on areas with mineral deposits or stains, especially around the rim and under the water line. The stiff bristles of the brush will help remove debris, grime, and soap scum.
For particularly tough stains, consider using a pumice stone to gently rub away the mineral buildup. Make sure to keep the pumice stone wet to avoid scratching the ceramic surface.
### Step 5: Clean the Exterior
Once the inside of the toilet is clean, it’s time to tackle the exterior. Spray disinfectant on the handle, the tank, and the outer surface of the toilet, including the base. Wipe these areas down with a clean cloth or sponge. Don’t forget to clean the underside of the seat and the area around the hinges where dirt can accumulate.
### Step 6: Use Baking Soda and Vinegar for Extra Freshness
If your toilet has persistent odors, you can use baking soda and vinegar to neutralize them. Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by a cup of white vinegar. Let the mixture fizz and sit for 5-10 minutes, then scrub again with your toilet brush to remove any lingering odors and stains.
### Step 7: Flush and Rinse
Once you’ve scrubbed the toilet thoroughly, flush the toilet to rinse away any cleaning solutions and debris. Give the exterior a final wipe to ensure it’s spotless.
### Step 8: Maintain a Clean Toilet
To keep your toilet fresh between deep cleanings, consider adding a toilet bowl tablet or using a toilet cleaner that continuously releases cleaner with every flush. Regular cleaning (at least once a week) will help maintain cleanliness and prevent odors.
## Part 2: How to Get Rid of Urine Smell in Your Sofa
Accidents can happen, and the smell of urine can linger in your sofa cushions long after the accident itself. Whether it’s from a pet, a child, or an adult, urine can seep deep into the fabric and foam, causing unpleasant odors. Here’s how to clean urine from your sofa and eliminate that smell.
### Step 1: Blot the Area
If the urine spill is fresh, the first thing you need to do is blot the area with a clean cloth or paper towels. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the urine deeper into the fabric. Instead, press the cloth down firmly to soak up as much liquid as possible.
### Step 2: Apply a Cleaning Solution
To clean the stain and eliminate the odor, you can use a natural solution made from white vinegar, baking soda, and water. Here’s how:
– Mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 cup of water and a tablespoon of baking soda in a spray bottle.
– Shake the bottle well to ensure that the baking soda dissolves into the solution.
– Spray the solution generously onto the urine stain, ensuring that it is well saturated. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the mixture to break down the odor-causing compounds.
### Step 3: Scrub the Area
After the solution has sat for a few minutes, use a soft brush or cloth to scrub the area gently. This will help lift the stain and loosen any dried urine residue that may still be trapped in the fabric.
### Step 4: Rinse and Blot
Use a clean cloth soaked in plain water to rinse the area. Blot again with a dry towel to soak up the moisture. Repeat this process until the fabric is mostly dry and the smell starts to dissipate.
### Step 5: Dry the Sofa
To help speed up the drying process and further eliminate odors, sprinkle baking soda over the treated area and leave it to sit for at least 15 minutes. The baking soda will absorb any remaining moisture and neutralize odors. After the time has passed, vacuum the area to remove the baking soda.
