Cleaning the bathroom is one of the most difficult and time-consuming tasks, partly because of the importance of keeping this area of the house spotless and sanitized, and partly because of the variety of bacteria, limescale, and grime that accumulates there.
But if there’s one area of the bathroom most prone to getting dirty, it’s undoubtedly the toilet. Due to its very nature, bacteria and limescale tend to accumulate on the toilet, which end up creating those annoying brown stains that, over time, become difficult to remove.
There are a myriad of bathroom cleaning products on the market, but they all have the common denominator of an abundance of chemicals that are harmful to both us and the environment.
