Brilio.net - The toilet is one of the corners in the bathroom that is prone to getting dirty and stained, especially on the footrest. These stains can come from dirt brought in from outside or it could also be because the toilet is rarely cleaned. As a result, the appearance of the toilet looks dull and there are stubborn crust stains.
These stains will be difficult to remove even if you brush them with soap or detergent. So it's not surprising that a number of people use additional ingredients to remove these stubborn stains. One ingredient that is often used is citrus. This ingredient is usually dissolved in hot water first and then used to clean the surface of the object.
But if you don't have a stock of citrus at home, there are still other ways you can do to make a toilet full of limescale shine again. One trick that is no less effective for cleaning limescale stains on the toilet footing was shared by YouTube user Miss Jojo.

"Brush the area that has been sprinkled with baking soda gently with a little water," he added.
The purpose of adding a little water is to dissolve the baking soda powder so that it can work to remove stubborn crust. After finishing brushing with baking soda, the YouTube user did not immediately rinse the toilet, but added vinegar as an additional cleaning agent.

Brush evenly over all dirty parts of the toilet footing. After brushing with baking soda and vinegar, let the mixture of the two ingredients sit for 2 hours so that it absorbs better and works to remove the crust optimally.
