Time-Saving Tips For Cleaning A Bidet Toilet Seat With Lemon Juice

Bidets are known for thoroughly washing the nether regions after using the toilet, but these devices need their own form of TLC to stay clean and efficient. Bidets come in different formats, such as standalone fixtures, handheld devices powered by electricity, or an attachment on the toilet. If you've installed a bidet seat in your bathroom, then you know it's important to clean your bidet daily to ensure it works properly and increase its lifespan. Deep cleaning the bidet seat or attachment should be done weekly, but these time-saving cleaning methods are great for the days when the device needs a quick refresh. 

Lemon juice, a common item found in the kitchen, is an easy-to-use cleaning agent that you can mix with water and other ingredients to create a simple cleaning solution. You can use lemons and their juice to remove stains, kill bacteria, and keep your bidet smelling fresh. These hacks also don't require much cleaning time. The citric acid in lemon juice naturally breaks down the dirt particles, mineral deposits, and hard water stains commonly found in the bidet. Since the lemon juice does all the work for you, you don't have to spend too much time scrubbing away at stubborn stains and deposits.

Cleansers that contain bleach and ammonia shouldn't be used to clean a bidet because they can damage the bidet's components. Since those products are off limits, consider some alternatives. Lemon juice has many household uses and its unique composition makes it an efficient cleaning agent with natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties. You can make a non-toxic bathroom cleaner using 8 ounces of distilled white vinegar, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 4 ounces of lemon juice, and 10 ounces of water. Put this solution in a spray bottle, spray it on the bidet seat, and wipe it off. You can also leave the solution on the surface for a couple of minutes before wiping to pre-treat the area. This cleaning solution can be used to sanitize the bidet remote, bathroom counter, sink, bathtub, and the shower wall. 

Microfiber cloths also come in handy as a time-saving cleaning tool. Use them to wipe away dirt, dust, and leftover cleaning solution on the bidet seat. Another great time-saving hack for removing hard water stains that couldn't be easier is just using the lemon itself as the tool and the cleaning solution. Cut the lemon in half and use it as a scrubbing tool for the stains on your bidet. You can also dip the lemon in salt to add extra scrubbing power. Let the juice sit for about 30 and 60 seconds and then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. 

Lemon juice is great for deodorizing the bathroom and killing bacteria at the same time. Pouring half a cup of lemon juice into the bowl before scrubbing it only takes a few minutes and it leaves behind a fresh scent.The benefit of putting lemon juice in your toilet bowl is that it will dissolve mineral deposits, eliminate unsightly stains, and kill bacteria. To clean the bidet fixtures, break out the lemon half and rub it on the fixtures before wiping them down with a cloth. 

Using lemon juice to create your own bidet and bathroom cleaning solutions will save you time and money. You don't have to spend the big bucks on expensive, chemical-filled cleaning products when you use lemon juice to make your own non-toxic cleaning solutions. Storing these mixtures in spray bottles allows you to create large batches that you can quickly spray on the surface and wipe off in minutes. Lemon juice is also a natural preservative, so the sprays can last for days and months if stored correctly. Keep the solutions in airtight containers and refrigerate when you're not using them.
