Eliminating the Smell of Urine From the Bathroom and Leaving a Fresh Scent: 6 Foolproof Tips
If your bathroom still smells like urine even after cleaning, the odor is often trapped in small areas around the toilet rather than inside the bowl. The good news is that a simple homemade cleaning solution can help remove the smell and leave your bathroom fresh.
Homemade Odor-Removing Solution
Ingredients:
1 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoon dish soap
10–15 drops of lemon or lavender essential oil (optional)
2 cups warm water
How to Use It
Mix all the ingredients in a spray bottle and shake gently. Spray generously around the base of the toilet, the floor, behind the toilet, and any areas where odors may linger. Let the solution sit for 10–15 minutes, then scrub with a brush or sponge and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
For extra freshness, sprinkle a little baking soda around the toilet base before spraying the solution. After cleaning, open a window or turn on the exhaust fan to help the bathroom dry completely and keep it smelling fresh.
Using this method once or twice a week can help eliminate stubborn urine odors instead of simply masking them, leaving your bathroom clean and pleasantly scented.
