Scale in the bathroom, how to remove it: use this powerful natural remedy

The bathroom is very exposed to the well-known consequences of stagnant water.  Lime, scale and encrustations  make the bottom of the toilet bowl visibly dirty and yellowish.  It gets dirty all the time,  after a few days all the cleaning progress is lost and it turns yellow again. Maintaining pure white is difficult, but not impossible. What we do is spend money and time looking for commercial descaling agents. These are very expensive detergents (especially in this age marked by the high cost of living) and never completely effective. In addition to this, they are rich in aggressive and harmful chemicals, and often give off unpleasant odours.

They are harmful to us and the environment: prolonged inhalation can be harmful, while the emission of these substances into the environment is harmful. Chemical and toxic agents make no concessions to nature. That is why it is good to know  an alternative method  to remove scale and lime deposits from the toilet. A method that requires only completely safe and natural ingredients. Below we show you step by step  how  to remedy this in a simple way.

Anti-tartar remedy, here is the best method to get rid of it

If after much effort you have noticed that the yellow marks are not showing signs of disappearing from your toilet bowl,  it is time to change your strategy.  You can say goodbye to detergents and chemicals,  you will only need natural products.  The advantage is also a much slower formation of limescale, these products delay the formation of scale.

For those who don’t have much time to keep cleaning the house, this is the best method, fast, effective and with long-lasting effects. You won’t need to spend a lot of money or look for products that are difficult to find:  just open the pantry.

We are talking about two products that are still confirmed as excellent allies in household cleaning and tremendously versatile:  baking soda and white wine vinegar  . Two totally natural and very low-cost products that can revolutionize household cleaning for the better. Sometimes we look too far to find what we need, without knowing that it is closer than we think.

White wine vinegar  , besides being an excellent culinary ingredient, is a sensational degreaser and sanitizer, capable of neutralizing all bad odors. In addition to sanitizing your toilet, it will also eliminate unpleasant odors.  Baking soda  is a panacea for our health in case of stomach upset and is an excellent disinfectant agent. Its effervescent action will undoubtedly help decalcify the bottom of the toilet.

Now that we know the necessary ingredients and their properties,  let’s see how to put them into practice.

Baking soda and white vinegar: use them like this, you’ll never go back

We have discovered that  with just a few euros  we can descale and remove stains from our toilet. Our allies will be white wine vinegar and baking soda, versatile products that are useful on multiple fronts. Thanks to their help we will get our toilet shiny and white, and we will do it with great ease. What we have to do is  pour approximately half a litre of vinegar  (500 ml) into the toilet. With the  help of a clean toilet brush  we must vigorously scrape the bottom and all the walls of the toilet that are more yellowed and encrusted. Then we must let the vinegar act for at least a full minute. After 60 seconds we can proceed to add the baking soda.

You will need about  150 grams of baking soda  , and you will need to pour it into the cup. After this step, take your vinegar again and pour in another 500 ml. The reaction will be foamy and effervescent: all the incrustations will slide away as if by magic. All the impurities will disappear.

You should let it sit for at least 10 minutes  , then use the brush again to distribute the foam all over and scrub well. It would be a good idea to let the vinegar and baking soda solution sit for a maximum of another 30 minutes, brushing a little again, until the scale seems to have disappeared.

This is a useful procedure in case of strong encrustations that have been present for some time, but if maintenance is regular, the effort will be even less.  Even using only white vinegar  , but only when the situation is not too “serious”.
