Keeping a toilet clean and fresh does not always require harsh chemicals or strong commercial cleaners. There is a simple and natural method that can help reduce odors and loosen stains — and the surprising ingredient is black pepper.
While black pepper does not disinfect, its mild abrasive texture helps scrub stains, and when paired with vinegar, it can support natural deodorizing and stain-lifting action. This method is useful for quick refreshes or maintenance cleaning between deeper sanitizing sessions.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
½ cup white vinegar (optional but recommended)
