Why You Should Be Putting Salt in Your Toilet

  1. Pour about one cup of coarse salt (rock, kosher, or sea salt) directly into the toilet bowl.
  2. Let it sit overnight — the longer, the better.
  3. In the morning, scrub with a toilet brush and flush.

That’s it. Repeat this every few weeks for simple, low-effort upkeep.

Why It Works

Salt is naturally abrasive but gentle, making it perfect for lifting mineral stains and buildup without scratching the porcelain.
It also acts as a natural deodorizer, helping neutralize odors and keeping the bowl smelling fresh.

As a bonus, salt’s mild softening effect helps toilet paper break down more efficiently, encouraging smoother flushing.
