Cleaning the toilet is probably the most hated household chore, but it doesn't have to be difficult. I've found a simple method that cleans the toilet bowl in just a few minutes and makes it sparkle. In this guide, I'll show you how to clean a toilet bowl using just baking soda and vinegar.
What You'll Need
