Instead, choose a commercial toilet-bowl cleaner or descaling product that’s specifically intended for the surface you’re cleaning and follow its label directions.
For especially stubborn buildup, professional advice may save you a lot of scrubbing.
Can Salt Remove Toilet Odors?
Salt isn’t a dedicated toilet
deodorizer.
If your bathroom smells unpleasant, masking the odor isn’t necessarily the same thing as solving the source.
Odors can come from the toilet bowl, drain, surrounding floor, toilet seal, poor ventilation, or even a plumbing issue.
Regular cleaning and good bathroom ventilation are more reliable ways to keep the room smelling fresh.
If you notice a persistent sewage-like odor even after cleaning, don’t assume you simply need more salt.
That could warrant a plumbing inspection.
Salt vs. Regular Toilet Cleaner
So, should you reach for salt or toilet cleaner?
For routine cleaning, I’d choose a product specifically formulated for toilet bowls.
