More eco-friendly toilet cleaning solutions
Use a baking soda paste
The powder in question continues to be a safe choice for cleaning, without forgetting that it is a multipurpose product since it is used both in the kitchen and in aesthetics. When it comes to hard water stains on the toilet, baking soda is an excellent cleaner, especially for more stubborn stains. It is also an excellent deodorant. So you know what to do if you are faced with bad smells.
Before using, make sure you turn off the water to the toilet and then flush the toilet to empty the bowl. Mix ½ cup lemon juice and ½ cup baking soda, making sure to form a fairly thick paste.
Cover all affected areas completely with this paste and leave it on for about 30 minutes. While baking soda removes stains , lemon helps dissolve them . Then, depending on the size of the stains, loosen or scrape the affected areas with a toothbrush, a stiff-bristled brush or a spatula. Finally, flush the toilet to flush.
In addition, if you have limescale in the bowl, you can try several tricks to remove it without baking soda. Soda crystals, Coca-Cola, or even citric acid can remove tartar just as effectively.
Use steel wool
Used alone or impregnated with a homemade household product, steel wool is effective against stubborn hard water stains. If you don’t want to scratch your porcelain bowl, it’s best to use 0000 grade steel wool (the finest grade).
