đźš˝ How to Get the Smell of Urine Out of the Bathroom and Leave a Fresh, Clean Scent

Let’s be real — even the cleanest bathrooms can sometimes carry that stubborn smell of urine, especially around the toilet area. Whether you live with kids, pets, or just want your bathroom smelling as fresh as it looks, getting rid of that odor once and for all doesn’t have to be a struggle.

The secret? A few simple natural cleaning methods and scent-boosting tips that will not only eliminate the smell at the source but also leave your bathroom smelling amazing.


đź’ˇ Why Does the Smell Linger?

Urine odors can linger due to:

  • Splashes or drips around the toilet base
  • Absorption into grout or tile seams
  • Infrequent cleaning of the toilet seat hinges or floor edges
  • Trapped odor in bathroom mats, trash bins, or air vents

To truly freshen up your space, you’ll need to clean deeply and add natural scent boosters.


🧼 Step 1: Deep Clean the Source of the Odor

✅ What You’ll Need:

  • White vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Dish soap
  • Hydrogen peroxide (optional)
  • Essential oils (optional)
  • Scrub brush or old toothbrush
  • Spray bottle
  • Clean cloth or paper towels

đźšż Target These High-Odor Areas:

Around the Toilet Base

  1. Sprinkle baking soda generously around the base.
  2. Spray with white vinegar (it will fizz and break down residue).
  3. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  4. Scrub with a brush or sponge, then wipe clean.

Optional: Add a few drops of tea tree or eucalyptus oil to your vinegar for antibacterial power and a fresh scent.


Toilet Seat Hinges & Underside

  1. Use an old toothbrush dipped in warm soapy water or vinegar.
  2. Scrub around hinges, under the seat, and anywhere hard to reach.
  3. Wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth.

Grout and Tile

If urine has seeped into porous tile grout:

  • Mix a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
  • Apply to grout lines and let sit 15 minutes.
  • Scrub and rinse well.

🌬️ Step 2: Neutralize Odors in the Air

🕯️ Natural Air Freshening Methods:

  • Place baking soda in an open jar with a few drops of essential oil.
  • Simmer a small pot of lemon slices, cloves, and rosemary for a natural scent boost.
  • Use a reed diffuser or homemade spray with water + essential oil (lavender, citrus, eucalyptus).
