Can Toothpaste Clean Toilet

If you need to clean the toilet quickly and you’re out of cleaner, squirt a bit of toothpaste into the bowl. Grab the toilet brush and scrub away. The paste will remove stains and leave a fresh odor. It won’t disinfect the toilet to get rid of bacteria, but it will work in a pinch.

Is it safe to put toothpaste in your toilet tank?

Simply take the tube of toothpaste, pierce several holes (or, cut small incisions with scissors) and place it into the cistern of your toilet. The toothpaste must be menthol, with Fabiosa explaining that the paste will produce a “small disinfection” while releasing a minty fresh scent, too.

What can I use to clean a badly stained toilet?

  1. Sprinkle baking soda or borax generously on the stained areas.
  2. Use the toilet brush to scrub a little bit and spread the powder around.
  3. Add approximately 1½ cup of white vinegar into the bowl.
  4. Leave the solution to work for 15-30 min.
  5. Rinse.
  6. Repeat if there are still visible stains.
