It’s very simple: how to clean the toilet from rust and odors in 5 minutes?

By Lesia

I often flew to Turkey. At first, these were tourist trips, but over time, new acquaintances and friends appeared in this country. In five years of traveling by plane, I also met Irina, who worked as a flight attendant on the Moscow-Istanbul flight. Today I would like to share with you a surprisingly simple but effective trick that helps to remove odors and rust from the toilet.

Irina once complained that not all passengers know the rules of hygiene and do not know how to clean themselves. But it is important to keep the dry closet clean, especially when it comes to international flights.

You enter the cabin (and it is so small that it is impossible to even spread your arms), you open the lid and there is such an “aroma” in your nose that it brings tears to your eyes.

All a flight attendant can do during a flight is to remove the paper from the floor or eliminate the smell with a deodorant. This does not always help, so many began to look for other solutions to the problem. “Everything is so banal!” – says Irina.

To ensure that the dry toilets always remain clean and well-maintained, flight attendants use ordinary coffee grounds. It acts no worse than perfume and eliminates the unpleasant smell from the toilet in a matter of minutes. Simply pour the grounds previously taken from the coffee maker into the toilet, wait 5 minutes and press the flush button.

In addition, coffee grounds act as a cleaner and can be used as an abrasive rust remover. To remove rust deposits, you need to put on rubber gloves, sprinkle coffee grounds generously on a sponge and scrub the inner walls of the toilet with them. Let it sit for at least a few minutes and clean thoroughly with a toilet brush. If you periodically clean the toilet from plaque and reddish stains, it will always be snow-white and without stubborn stains.

Thanks to this proven trick, the airline where Irina works saves on cleaning costs, and passengers can go to the toilet without holding their breath.
