Cleaning the toilet can be a daunting task, but it’s unavoidable, especially when you have a heavily calcified bowl and a yellowed toilet seat from use. However, it is possible to find white and shiny toilets in a short time and without much effort. Find out how to remove yellow stains from the bottom of the bowl with these 3 natural and economical products.
With time and use, toilets increase in size. The bottom of the container is covered with unsightly yellow or brown stains, which can also generate bad odors. However, there are simple and effective tips for cleaning the toilet and keeping the bowl always clean and white.
Why does the bottom of the bucket turn yellow?
Toilet water is hard water, also called hard water. In fact, it is rich in minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, responsible for the formation of limestone. When this water stagnates in the container, it promotes scale formation. These unsightly yellow or brown spots are deposits of scales.
Keep in mind that scale not only encroaches on our toilets, but also all of our appliances that use hard water. In addition to being unsightly, limescale deposits lead to excessive energy consumption.
How to find a white bowl?
To remove the yellow stains that cover the walls of the bowl, 3 ingredients come into play: baking soda, white vinegar and salt.
Need:
- 4 tablespoons baking soda
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1 glass of white vinegar
This preparation costs less than one euro and can be used for up to a month.
Sprinkle the baking soda generously on the sides and bottom of the container. Then sprinkle the salt on the same surfaces covered with baking soda. Let it sit for a few minutes and pour the white vinegar over the stained areas. Leave on for an hour to allow the mixture to work better on the scale deposits. Then rub the yellow stains with the toilet brush and flush the toilet.
