How to Get Rid of Urine Smells in the Bathroom: A Simple Cleaning Tip

Struggling with persistent urine odours in your bathroom? Here's an effective cleaning tip to eliminate those unpleasant smells and keep your bathroom fresh.

Identify the source

Urine smells often linger around the toilet base, under the seat and in hard-to-reach crevices. Don't forget to check the floor grout and the walls nearby.

Deep clean with vinegar and baking soda

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray generously around the toilet base, seat hinges and affected areas. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub with a brush. For stubborn odours, sprinkle baking soda on the area before spraying the vinegar solution — the fizzing action helps lift stains and neutralise odours.

Focus on hidden spots

Clean under the toilet seat, around the tank and even the floor edges. Use an old toothbrush to reach the tight spots where odours hide.

Finish with a fresh rinse

Wipe the cleaned areas with warm, soapy water to remove any residue. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth to prevent moisture buildup.

Prevent future odours

Regularly clean your bathroom with this method, and consider adding a few drops of essential oil (like lemon or eucalyptus) to your cleaning solution for a lasting fresh scent.

This simple routine keeps your bathroom smelling fresh and clean, making it a more pleasant space for everyone. For professional cleaning, trust We Just Clean to handle the tough jobs for you.
