We all know that we need to clean our toilet regularly to avoid odors and bacteria. But not everyone knows that you can use ordinary shaving foam for this. In this article you will find out how to clean your toilet with shaving foam and what other hygienic uses you can find for it in the bathroom!
Cleaning the toilet with shaving foam – this is how it works
The bathroom is one of my favorite rooms in the apartment, probably because of the long baths I take to clear my mind and body from the hectic routine that most of us immerse ourselves in from Monday to Friday. However, cleaning the bathroom is not one of my favorite activities. So when I hear about a cleaning hack or product that can save me time, energy, or money, I try it immediately. I'm particularly happy when it's an environmentally friendly home remedy that I have on hand. Here's how to clean your toilet with shaving cream in just a few steps.

- All you need is shaving cream and a toilet brush. Start by applying a generous amount of product to the brush and hold it over the toilet bowl to avoid staining the floor. Spray some of the foam directly onto the inside of the toilet, making sure all sides are well coated. Then use the brush to clean the inside of the toilet bowl, carefully going over all sides. Apply an additional amount of shaving cream to the brush if necessary.
- Now stop and let the remaining product work for an hour. Then turn off the water and run the brush over all sides of the toilet bowl again to remove any remaining foam and dirt.
- If you want to clean the outside of your toilet, shaving cream will help you with this task too. Put some on a soft cloth or sponge and rub it over the desired surface. Then take a clean rag, wet it (you'll probably have to do this several times) and wipe off the foam. Finally, dry off. Your toilet will now shine inside and out.
Notice: The reason you can clean your toilet with shaving cream is because it is nothing more than a concentrated soap, and many of the ingredients you find in shaving cream are also found in traditional household cleaners.
You can also use it to eliminate odors in the bathroom
There can be a lot of odors in your bathroom, especially if it is used by multiple people. Mold, mildew, and plumbing problems can also contribute to odors. However, in this situation, shaving cream may be the solution you are looking for.
To remove the smell of urine, simply spray the toilet bowl with shaving cream - making sure to cover all the nooks and crannies - and let it sit for half an hour or more. It's also a good idea to spread the shaving cream behind and around the toilet to combat any odors that may be lurking in these areas. Then rinse with hot water. This cleaning method also works well for odors caused by mold.

Get rid of mold on the shower curtain: The bathroom is the perfect place for mold to grow because it is warm and humid. If you're struggling with mold on your shower curtain, shaving cream can be very helpful. To get rid of it, we recommend first disinfecting the curtain with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar. You can then apply the shaving cream directly to the shower curtain and scrub it off. Finally, just rinse it off.
