How to remove limescale stains from the toilet bowl and make it like new again

ADVERTISEMENT

**Instructions**:

1. **Pour Vinegar into the Toilet**: Start by pouring about 2 cups of white vinegar into the toilet bowl. Make sure to coat the sides of the bowl, focusing on the areas with limescale buildup. The vinegar’s acidity will help break down the limescale deposits.

2. **Add Baking Soda**: Sprinkle about 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, along with another 1-2 cups of vinegar. The combination of vinegar and baking soda will create a fizzing reaction that loosens the limescale and other debris.

3. **Let It Sit**: Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15-30 minutes. If the limescale buildup is particularly severe, you can leave it for longer, even overnight, to allow the vinegar and baking soda to work their magic.

4. **Scrub with a Toilet Brush**: After the solution has had time to sit, use a toilet brush to scrub the toilet bowl. Focus on the areas with visible stains. The abrasiveness of the baking soda and the acidic properties of the vinegar will help break down the mineral deposits and make the stains easier to scrub away.

5. **Flush the Toilet**: Once you’ve scrubbed away the limescale, flush the toilet to rinse away the vinegar, baking soda, and any loosened debris. Your toilet should now be free of limescale and look much cleaner.

#### **Method 2: Using Lemon Juice and Borax**

**Materials Needed**:
– Lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
– Borax powder
– Toilet brush
– Gloves (optional)

**Instructions**:

1. **Pour Lemon Juice into the Toilet Bowl**: Start by squeezing fresh lemon juice into the toilet bowl. If you’re using bottled lemon juice, pour about 1 cup into the bowl. The natural acidity of the lemon juice helps dissolve the limescale deposits.

2. **Add Borax**: Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of Borax powder into the toilet bowl. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral that has both cleaning and disinfecting properties. It will work with the lemon juice to break down the mineral deposits.

3. **Let the Solution Sit**: Allow the lemon juice and Borax mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes. If the limescale buildup is especially thick, leave it for up to 1-2 hours.

4. **Scrub the Bowl**: After letting the solution sit, use a toilet brush to scrub away the limescale. Focus on the areas with heavy buildup, scrubbing under the rim and along the waterline where deposits tend to collect.

5. **Flush to Rinse**: Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness, flush the toilet to rinse away the solution and any loosened debris. The toilet should now be free of limescale, with a fresh citrus scent left behind.
