I get a lot of questions about how to remove stains from toilet bowls. Even when they clean the toilet frequently enough, there is still a disgusting brownish ring around the bowl.
It is not uncommon to discover a stain extending from the base of the pan to the water level after cleaning the toilet, as well as yellow streaks on the bottom of the pan. In its most basic form, these stains are caused by hard water.
In addition to damaging your toilet and sink, hard water may also leave stains that are very difficult to clean.
5. The 5 Most Effective Methods for Removing Stains from Toilet Bowls
The toilet bowls' vitreous china construction makes them particularly vulnerable to absorbing and retaining these yellow stains. Even though they might be difficult to remove, there are simple procedures you can take to ensure their removal. You can restore the showroom appearance of your toilet.
1. Vinegar for Toilet Bowl Stains: First, you'll need: Directly apply vinegar
One of the most ubiquitous culinary staples, vinegar, may be an indispensable tool for removing stubborn stains from toilet bowls. To prevent any further stains caused by the color of the liquid, white distilled vinegar is recommended.
Pour white vinegar into a previously empty bottle. While pouring it straight on the stain may work, it will also waste a lot of vinegar. You may use the spray bottle to apply vinegar to the most stubborn spot in the toilet bowl.
Before using it in the designated region of the toilet bowl, give it a minimum of 10 minutes to sit. Another option is to let it sit overnight.
Pour some vinegar into it if a ring forms at the water level. Scrub the toilet with a toilet brush when a specific amount of time has passed. Get a spotless toilet by flushing off any remaining stains. This can be done again if necessary.
Vinegar has several uses, one of which is its ability to effectively eliminate mold, bacteria, and other pathogens.
Step two: Mix in the dish soap and baking soda.
Combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup dish soap, 2 teaspoons white vinegar, and 1 1/2 cups baking soda to make a potent cleaning concoction. To remove any lumps, stir the mixture with a fork.
The solution should be poured into a previously used spray bottle. After giving the bottle a good shake, spray the bowl stains. Wash the spots away using a toilet brush. Following this, flush the toilet to remove the solution and any stains.
2. Bleach for Toilet Bowl Stains Removal
Bleach, being a widely used product, is probably already known to you. It is an effective cleanser. Transfer half a cup of dry bleach powder into the bowl of the toilet. Set aside for a minimum of two hours. During this period, you will see that the stains begin to fade. The bleach should be flushed out of the toilet now.
Fortunately, there is an alternative to solid bleach: the highly powerful cleaning agent "CLOROX" which includes bleach.
3. Using Borax Powder to Remove Stains From Toilet Bowls
Another potent cleaner is borax powder. You can find it at any hardware shop. Make sure the water supply to the toilet tank is turned off and flush the bowl once to empty it before you add borax powder. Scatter a handful of powder straight onto the stain. To remove the stains, use a toilet brush.
After a good clean, leave the powder on the spots for 30 minutes or more. To remove the powder and any stains from the toilet, turn the water back on and flush the tank. This can be done again if necessary.
