Meanwhile, I tackled the inside of the bowl with a pumice stone and gave it an overnight soak with Borax, which made mineral stains disappear like magic.

Now? Cleaning the toilet is part of my Sunday routine.

It’s not glamorous, but it makes the whole bathroom feel fresh and ready for company.

A few bonus tips: if your toilet brush smells funky, soak it in peroxide.

And don’t forget to clean the seat hinges, the base, and even the floor—it all makes a difference.

Honestly, walking into a spotless bathroom doesn’t just impress your guests—it gives you that “I’ve got this” feeling, even if the rest of your place is a mess.
