‘It’s the new super cleaner!’ People are now cleaning their toilets with shaving cream

The new miracle cure for a very common problem ... - by Eliza Scanlan

‘It’s the new super cleaner!’ People are now cleaning their toilets with shaving cream

Any mum of boys will tell you just how hard it can be to get the smell of pee out of your toilet. 

Scrubbing, cleaning and deodorising often doesn't do the job - especially when your little - and big! - kids are constantly having little accidents. 

Well now a new cleaning hack is banishing unsightly smells for good - and you only need one simple product. 

Mums are now swearing by shaving foam as the new ‘super cleaner’ to transform your toilet and remove wee smells. 

All you have to do is spray and smear a generous layer of the foam - just the cheapest you can find from Coles, Woolworths and Aldi - around the toilet and rim and leave it for 10-30 minutes before wiping off with a mop and hot water. The result? A sparkling clean toilet - and no more smells for good. 

Posting on the fabulous Mums Who Clean Facebook page, member Nadi shared pics of her transformed toilet and writes: 

‘Thanks ladies! Left it for 1.5 hours and the bathroom smells amazing right now! Usually It still smells musty after a scrub so it’s definitely worked. All shiny and clean. And smells amazing in here. For now....’

Other members were quick to voice their approval of the hack - but many warned not to let the shaving cream go hard, as it can be hard to remove. 

Wrote one: ‘Definitely works....it get rid of the urine smell and marks on the tile.....just don't let it dry...i do mine every week.’

Mums Who Clean member Jan loved the results she achieved from the shaving cream hack.

Added another: ‘I've done this. Leaves it smelling great. Did a good job on the grout around it too.’

Added a third: ‘The only thing that removes wee smell. It’s a must for mums with boys!!’

Many were keen to give the shaving cream method a go. 

Said one: ‘Omggggggg yay gonna try this. Added another: ‘Feels like I need to do this almost everyday at my place..🙄🙄’

We feel your pain!
