Tackle Stubborn Toilet Stains Naturally: The Baking Soda and Salt Solution

Would You Use It?

Would you bring this retro tool back into your kitchen? Or is it best left in the past?

Either way, one thing’s for sure — the butter curler is a tiny reminder of how creative kitchens used to be.


FAQs

Q: Is a butter curler still useful today?
Yes! It’s great for butter, cheese, and even soft chocolate shavings for desserts.

Q: Where can I buy one?
Vintage stores, eBay, and even some specialty kitchenware shops still carry them.

Q: Does it work with margarine or only real butter?
It works best with firm butter, but can be used on any chilled spread.

  1. Sprinkle the salt evenly into the toilet bowl, focusing on stained areas.
  2. Add the baking soda and let the fizzing begin.
  3. For extra cleaning power, pour in the vinegar (optional).
  4. Let the mixture sit for 15–20 minutes.
  5. Scrub with the toilet brush, then flush.

Repeat once a week or as needed to keep your toilet bowl fresh and clean.


Extra Tips

  • For really tough stains, leave the mixture overnight before scrubbing.
  • Add a few drops of essential oil (like lemon or tea tree) for a fresh scent.
  • This method is safe for septic tanks too!

FAQs

Q: Can I use this method on colored toilet bowls?
Yes! It’s gentle enough for most surfaces, but always test a small area first.

Q: Is vinegar necessary?
Not at all. Vinegar helps boost cleaning power but baking soda and salt work well on their own too.
