Caustic soda is the chemical compound sodium hydroxide.
Three ingredients are required for preparing this pill i.e., expired medicines, bathing soap and caustic soda.
Many individuals face consistent toilet bowl stains despite properly cleaning their bathroom, leading to frustration. Finding a solution lies not in personal fault but in understanding the root causes of these stains and utilising appropriate cleaning agents. Surprisingly, effective remedies can often be found within the confines of one’s home, avoiding the need for expensive commercial cleaners. This space articulates the information about an effective remedy that can be used to clean the toilet properly. Three ingredients will be required for preparing this pill, i.e., expired medicines, bathing soap and caustic soda. Caustic soda is the chemical compound sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This compound is an alkali – a type of base that can neutralise acids and is soluble in water.
Steps to prepare the remedy
Take 10-12 expired medicines, grind them well and convert them into a powdered form. Now, take whichever bathing soap you are using, grate it, or cut it into small pieces. Now add soap, medicine powder and caustic soda to the mixer. Grind them well. The final step involves adding limited water to the mixture which can help in making small balls out of it. Make as many balls as you can from this mixture and store them in a box.
How to use the balls
When the balls are ready, put them in the flush tank of the toilet pot. A point to remember is that only one or two balls should be added to the flush tank for an effective cleaning process. This will have two uses. By following this step, whenever you flush after using the toilet, not only will there be a fragrance in the washroom, but the dirt and germs stuck in the pot will also be eliminated. This tablet prepared from these three ingredients will mix in water and will be effective in keeping the pot clean.
Now, even if you use the brush without using any toilet cleaner, the pot will show a shining surface. In this case, if you want, the cleaner can be used 2-3 times a month which will be enough. It will be a cost-effective method as well and its consumption will be very low.
