There is nothing worse than having that gross "pee" smell in your bathroom! YUCK! Here are some fast and easy ways on how to get rid of pee smell in your bathroom.
How To Get Rid Of Pee Smell
To start, make sure you flush your toilet from the very beginning so that you are cleaning with fresh, new water. Over time small amounts of residue or dust particles can sit at the surface and you won't want to clean with dirty water.
Pour one cup of bleach into your toilet bowl, and then put on some gloves. Use a sponge and start scrubbing the inside of your toilet really well. The bleach will not only help with cleaning, it should be able to kick the pee smell out of your bathroom pretty quickly.
Try to see if the inside of your tank also smells like pee when you lift the lid. If you can still smell urine, put some white vinegar into your tank and clean the walls of the tank.
Make sure to clean the base of the toilet really well! Pee can build up really easily around the bottom and keep the smell trapped in your bathroom, even if everything else is nice and clean.
How To Get Rid Of Pee Smell
If you have a rug in your bathroom, throw it in the wash! If there is any pee that accidentally got onto the rug, your rug will continue to release that smell, especially when there is moisture in the air from taking showers. Cleaning your rug will make a huge difference!
Wash the walls in your bathroom and all of the molding around the bottom ledges, and pictures too! The walls behind or next to your toilet are especially important to clean well because urine can splash and stick to the walls when you flush the toilets.
Once you feel like your toilet is really clean and you have gotten rid of the pee smell, you will want to keep it that way! You can make your own toilet fizzies to keep that funky bathroom smell away by adding baking soda, citric acid, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and a bit of essential oil. After you make them you can just drop them in the bowl and they will keep your bathroom smelling fresh.
Not only will you want your bathroom to smell clean, you will want it to actually be clean too! Cut off a piece of a magic eraser and drop it in your toilet, to keep it clean in between the times you have to do a deep cleaning. As it floats and dissolves overnight, it will clean the walls of your toilet for you.
