By liliaturcin5

How to descale a toilet effortlessly? It happens that we move into a house that has been occupied by careless people to the point of having left the bottom of the toilet bowl dirty and especially stained with tartar. In terms of hygiene and aesthetics, we cannot leave them in this state.

And you know what, you won’t need to “struggle” too much, once you discover our tips of the day.

The strenuous efforts, the asphyxiation of industrial products, all this would only be a bad memory.

Follow us in these few lines and you will only be satisfied.

1 – DESCALE THE WC WITH Coke

No, no, you’re not dreaming. Coke has little-known but very effective descaling properties. Its effervescent action dissolves limescale and restores shine. It is therefore perfectly suitable for ridding your toilet of scale. To use it:

  • Pour a glass of Coke onto the sides of the bowl.
  • Leave on for 1 hour and flush. That’s it !

2 – BORAX OR SODIUM TETRABORATE

You can find it in pharmacies, it is an excellent cleaning product that is used to whiten and disinfect. On contact, dirt disappears as if by magic, without even needing to rub! You can also combine it with lemon juice to make a paste to apply to the area to be cleaned. Otherwise, for effective descaling you also have the option of combining it with white vinegar and hot water. Keep on hand 1 cup of white vinegar, i.e. 250 ml and 4 tablespoons of borax powder, i.e. 40 g then 1 liter of hot water. Spray the stained surface with white vinegar and leave for 20 minutes. After scrubbing with a brush, add borax powder and wait another 15 minutes. After this time, pour the liter of hot water to remove all the product.

3 – BAKING SODA

Pour baking soda into the bottom of your toilet and leave it for a few hours before scrubbing with a toilet brush. Flush the toilet to see the result.

4 – WHITE VINEGAR

White vinegar is a versatile natural product, widely used in cooking and for various daily household tasks.

Renowned for its disinfectant capabilities, it can also be used as a cleaner: to resurface old tiles, to clean a washing machine, or in our case, to prevent odors from rising and eliminate scale.

It could not be easier :

  • Flush the toilet once.
  • Place absorbent paper on the walls of the bowl.
  • Distribute one to two cups of white vinegar evenly over the paper.
  • Leave on for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Remove the soaked paper.
  • Flush the toilet again while scrubbing with the toilet brush.
