Miniml Refillable Peppermint Toilet Cleaner
Miniml Spearmint Peppermint Toilet Cleaner is made with Yorkshire water. At end of use, you can refill it locally, or use the QR code to send off your empty container, for washing and refilling.
Use with plastic-free cloths and sponges and Seep rubber gloves. Choose unscented toilet cleaner for pregnancy/nursing and when cleaning near babies or pets. Never mix vinegar or lemon juice with any bleach (causes toxic gas). For half-full bottles of chemical liquids, don’t pour down drain (dispose of at your local tip).
How to Remove Toilet Bowl Stains
Pour a cup of cleaning vinegar around the toilet rim and leave for 30 minutes, then scrub. For limescale, pour hot (not boiling) cleaning vinegar in the bowl and let it sit overnight, scrubbing with a plastic-free toilet brush.
Replace chlorine with natural oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate). Just sprinkle into the bowl, let it fizz for 15 minutes, then scrub.
How to Unblock a Clogged Toilet
The best way to prevent clogged toilets is to only flush forest-friendly bathroom tissue and nothing else. If a toilet is clogged, pour boiling water into the pan, and use a plastic-free plunger (use a strong push-pull movement to build pressure 10 to 15 times, then flush).
The best way to keep toilets smelling fresh is simply to eat a good diet and drink lots of water. Open a window if safe to do so, and wipe down surfaces regularly. Also keep the toilet lid closed when not in use, and fix leaks promptly.
Thames Water has says to check for a toilet leak, wait 30 minutes after flushing, then dry the back of the pan with some bathroom tissue. Place a dry sheet on the back of the pan.
Leave at least 3 hours, without using the loo. If the paper is wet, you have a leak! It’s a small plumbing job, less than spending £200 a year on extra water bills!
