How to remove black from the bottom of the toilet with just a spoon of this remedy

By liliaturcin5

The bathroom  , as we know, is subject to dirt and  scale  by its very nature. In fact, how many times have you noticed  the black background of the toilet? I guess often!

In reality, it is a  buildup of lime  that tends to form  black scale  that settles at the bottom of the toilet.

But how do you eliminate it? Simple, these  quick and easy methods are enough to try  ! Let’s see them together!

baking soda and vinegar

The first remedy we suggest is to combine  baking soda and vinegar  , which are truly a blessing  in case of limescale  .

All you have to do, therefore, is first remove  the water from the toilet   with a plunger or a towel and then sprinkle the black bottom with baking soda.

At this point, also pour   the white vinegar   on top  , let it sit for   at least two hours   or overnight   and scrub the bottom with a   clean brush. Finally, you just have to flush the toilet and… the black in your toilet will be just a bad memory! Plus, these two ingredients   can also be used together to unclog clogged sinks!

Note  : There is a long debate about the use of vinegar in drains due to its not exactly ecological impact on the environment, although it is by far less polluting than many detergents available on the market.

Citric acid

As an alternative to vinegar, you can use  citric acid,   which is considered  a natural descaler   that  can also thoroughly clean your washing machine and dishwasher. Also in this case, therefore, we recommend that you first dry the toilet bowl with a   plunger   to allow the citric acid to   adhere well to the bottom of the toilet   without being diluted with water.

Next, dissolve   150 grams of citric acid   in   1 liter of hot water,  pour the resulting mixture into the toilet and let it sit   for a few hours  . Then scrub with the   toilet brush   or brush and rinse –  your toilet will be like new!

Bathroom Cleaning Bombs

If, on the other hand, you want a product that is used when necessary to prevent the problem of lime deposits, then you will have to try toilet  bowl cleaner pumps   that can   eliminate dark stains   that form at the bottom of your toilet! ! To make them, you will need to equip yourself with:

  • 50 grams of   citric acid
  • 200 grams of   baking soda
  • half a tablespoon of   dish soap
  • ice molds

Start by pouring the citric acid   and  baking soda  into a bowl  ,  then mix until well blended. At this point, add the   organic dish detergent to   obtain a   kind of paste  or  compound and then pour it into the ice molds (or into some containers to recycle).

Then, let it rest  for about 4 hours   and finally   take out the cubes   and store them in a dry place. Your bath bombs are ready to use!

All you have to do is clean the bathroom thoroughly, flush the toilet and   throw  the  pump into the toilet  :  contact with the water will cause it to start bubbling, which will allow you to remove the black scale at the bottom of the toilet.

Borax

Here is the last remedy in case of very stubborn encrustations that do not disappear with the remedies seen so far. What are we talking about? Borax, a  white powder  capable of not only removing dark limestone scale but also  whitening yellowed clothes!

Start by pouring about 300 ml of   white vinegar   into the toilet bowl and letting it sit   for about half an hour.  Then, scrub with a brush or toilet brush and add about 50 grams of   borax powder.  Leave it on for about half an hour, then pour 1 liter of hot water and scrub with a toilet brush –   your toilet will be as white as ever!
