Hard water can quickly build up on toilets, sinks and taps and over time can leave rust and scale stains that are very unsightly and often extremely difficult to remove.
Nowhere is this more problematic than in a toilet, which sees a lot of use and holds standing water constantly. While there are many commercial cleaning products that can remove hard water stains in the toilet, baking soda and vinegar are especially effective.
Strong commercial cleaners can also wear away at the enamel on the bowl whilst this solution comes with the added benefit of being free of chemicals.
To use this method
-Pour about 1 cup of vinegar into the toilet bowl and swish it around with a toilet brush. Let it sit for about one minute.
– Next add about 1 cup of baking soda to the toilet bowl, then add another 1 to 2 cups of vinegar. This will create a fizzing action. Let the solution sit for about 10 minutes.
– The third step is to use a toilet brush to swish the solution around the bowl, making sure to get the solution onto any stains that are above the water line, but don’t flush the toilet at this stage.
– The final stage is to let the vinegar and soda solution sit for up to 30 minutes, swishing one or two more times until the stain is gone. If any stain remains, scrub it with the toilet brush or a stiff-bristled nylon brush. Finally flush the toilet to rinse.
After using this method you will find your toilet will be back to a mint condition

i tried this method unfortunately it didn't work
Sadly – this cleaned only the top layer of the stain, but that's all it did.
The cleaning vinegar in the store is 6% vinegar, good for disinfecting countertops and so forth but not really strong enough for a toilet. I started with 20 oz. of 6% vinegar and added 3 oz. of 30% vinegar to bring it up to 12% vinegar. Took all the water out of the bowl and poured the 12% vinegar into the bowl then added baking soda and used a bristle rush. For the bottom of the bowl I start with no liquid in the bottom and pour in 30% vinegar let stand for 3 hours and use a green scrubby. The inside of the bowl is pure white. No stains anywhere.
Did not work for me. Even the video did not show the same toilet from start to finish. :-(.
This seems like stupid advice. If anything helps, it's vinegar. Adding a base in the form of baking soda only neutralizes the acid. The reaction looks attractive, but in reality, you end up with a neutral solution that does nothing.
Did not work AT ALL for us.
Yeah, mine has stains that look like old shit.
This also works. Empty water from toilet bowl using a aqua vax or just scoop out with a cup and then the lid of a deodorant. Mix 6 or 7 Steradent tablets (for cleaning dentures) in a pint of boiling water and let cool for a few minutes. Pour the solution into the toilet bowl and leave overnight. It will be very clean the next morning. False teeth and toilet bowls are both ceramics. You just have to scale things up. In fact if you look at what is in Steradent it is pretty similar to the stuff the guy mixes himself here.
Thanks !
Thank you. This really works. God bless you
This didn’t work for me.
CLR does it for me pour some in the bowl and leave for 20 or so mins and then scrub
I did it once and it barely changed anything, im gonna go do it again, hopefully when i return i have good News for yall.
Didn’t work 😢
Peace and Love
Thank you kindly for this informative upload. Your knowledge and experience is very much appreciated. The effects of mixing baking soda and vinegar are also written in our Holy Scriptures! Keep informing the people…
Sorry. BIG thumbs down on this video. This method does NOT remove the stains. Only a hard constant scrub with a pumice stone is 95% effective. I wish there was something that worked better
I just wanted to let you know that this works. I had to do it twice, but now the bowl looks almost as good as new. Thank you very much! Baking soda and vinegar also work wonders with kitchen sink pipes.
This did not work at all. Maybe I will try bleach which cleans my tea cups perfectly.
You can try citric acid mixed with warm water.
They trying to get you to make a toilet bomb lol
Chemistry wise, just use the vinegar as baking soda actually neutralises the vinegar. If in doubt, do an internet search.
