Things You Will Need

  • White vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Lemon juice
  • Spray bottle

You do not need to use bleach for cleaning as homemade solutions are less expensive and nontoxic, which makes them easier to work with. The cleaning solution will not take long to mix and can be used regularly to make the urinal smell nice.

  1. Mix 1/2 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1 tsp. lemon juice, and pour the contents into a clean, empty spray bottle. Top the spray bottle with warm water and shake.

  2. Spray the cleaning solution in and all around the urinal. Baking soda and vinegar are natural deodorizers and cleaners that will absorb urine smells. Lemon juice is also a natural cleaner that will give the urinal a fresh, citrus smell.

  3. Allow the cleaning solution to sit in the urinal and reapply regularly to prevent a buildup of odors.

Tips

Baking soda, lemon juice and white vinegar can be used for almost all housecleaning tasks.

Warnings

Do not mix vinegar with any products containing bleach as the substances produce toxic fumes.
