Combine the ingredients: In a spray bottle, mix 1 cup of distilled white vinegar with 1 cup of water.
Add essential oils: Add 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil for a pleasant scent. Citrus oils like lemon or orange work great, as they have a fresh, clean fragrance and can help with odor removal.
Optional: Add 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol to help the mixture dry faster and prevent streaks when you spray it on mirrors or glass surfaces.
Shake: Give the bottle a gentle shake to combine all ingredients.
Usage:
Daily use: Lightly mist the bathroom after use or spray it on surfaces where limescale tends to form, like faucets, showerheads, and tiles. The vinegar helps dissolve minor limescale deposits, while the essential oils will leave your bathroom smelling fresh.
For deeper cleaning: If you have a build-up of limescale, spray the affected areas and let the mixture sit for a few minutes before wiping it away with a cloth or sponge.
Note: Vinegar is effective for cleaning, but it’s mild enough not to damage most bathroom surfaces. If you’re worried about certain materials (like natural stone), test a small area first.
This method is gentle on your surfaces while keeping the bathroom smelling great and preventing excessive limescale buildup over time.
