Introduction:
A clean toilet is essential for maintaining a fresh and hygienic bathroom, but over time, mineral deposits and hard water can lead to scaling that can be tough to remove. Toilet scaling occurs when minerals, like calcium and magnesium, build up on the porcelain surface due to the presence of hard water. This unsightly buildup not only looks unappealing but can also make your toilet more difficult to clean. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to tackle toilet scaling without the need for expensive cleaning products. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to clean a scaled toilet with household items you already have at home.
Ingredients:
White vinegar
Baking soda
Lemon juice (optional)
Pumice stone (optional)
Toilet brush
Rubber gloves
Old cloth or sponge
Water
Instructions:
Turn Off the Water Supply:
Start by turning off the water supply to the toilet. This will prevent the toilet from refilling during the cleaning process.
Empty the Toilet Bowl:
Flush the toilet to drain out the water from the bowl. You can also use a sponge or towel to soak up any remaining water from the inside of the toilet bowl.
Apply White Vinegar:
Pour about 2 cups of white vinegar directly into the toilet bowl. The acid in vinegar will help break down the mineral deposits that have built up over time.
