Stains on the bottom of the toilet? Make them disappear with simple home remedies

Of all the cleaning that needs to be done regularly, bathroom cleaning is one of the most burdensome, and particularly when it comes to cleaning the toilet. This, in fact, gets stained not only due to organic waste contact, but also due to limescale and the detergents we often use on it.

From time to time, therefore, it is necessary to roll up your sleeves and face this thankless chore. Hard water, in fact, leaves deposits not only on the sides of the toilet bowl, but also on the bottom of the bowl which is always under water. Initially, the stains will be very light yellow but over time, if these mineral deposits are not eliminated properly, they become brown and can easily bed confused with being another kind of (much more unpleasant) dirt. Discover here the best methods for the regular and thorough cleaning of your toilet - keep reading below:

• Bleach: Pouring in a little bleach every night into the toilet bown can effectively eliminate organic residue that are not completely rinsed off and remain on the bottom of the bowl - but as far as limescale removal is concerned, it is not as effective. Furthermore, it is a good idea not to pour in a excessive amount of bleach into the bowl, since it is still a pollutant for the environment.
• For limescale, other methods are generally recommended. Many of these work best if you drain the water from the toilet first, so that you use less product and make better use of its properties, since it will not be diluted in the water. To empty the toilet, simply close the valve at the base of the toilet to prevent the tank from filling up and flush the toilet. It would also be a good idea to absorb as much residual water on the bottom with a little blotting paper, a cloth or a sponge.
• Vinegar and baking soda: Pour two cups of white vinegar into a cup, then also pour in two cups of baking soda. Let this solution sit for 30 minutes, then flush the toilet.
• Vinegar and sodium percarbonate: follow the same instructions, as given above.
• If the limescale residue is particularly difficult to remove, and these remedies have not been able to do so completely, before flushing the toilet (or by emptying the toilet again), you can "scrape" the limescale residue off with pumice stone or a fine or medium-fine-grained piece of sandpaper.
• Denture cleaning tablets: after emptying the toilet, pour a pot of hot (not boiling) water into it and then throw in a tablet or two of a denture cleaning product, which will dissolve more quickly. Do this in the evening, so you can let the solution sit for several hours, and then flush the toilet the next morning.
