Hard water stains in toilets can be stubborn and frustrating to clean. Luckily, distilled vinegar offers a natural and effective solution that’s easy on your wallet and your plumbing.
Start by lowering the water level in the bowl using a plunger to push water down. This allows the vinegar to reach the stained areas better. Pour a generous amount of distilled vinegar into the bowl, making sure to cover the stains.
Next, soak some paper towels in vinegar and place them under the toilet rim and along the inner edges where stains hide. Press them to stay in place and leave them overnight so the vinegar can work its magic.
In the morning, remove the towels and scrub the bowl with a toilet brush. You’ll find the stains come off more easily. Flush to rinse. If needed, repeat the process for tough stains.
This method avoids harsh chemicals and strong odors, making it a great natural cleaning option. For a step-by-step demonstration, check out RJ The Bike Guy’s video online. When hard water stains strike, vinegar is your best friend.
