Brilio.net - Toilets must be cleaned regularly so that they do not become a source of germs and disease. Some people usually clean the toilet bowl by brushing it with a mixture of water and detergent. Not a few also use special cleaning fluids for toilets .
However, if it is not cleaned regularly, the toilet will be filled with dirt and stains. Dirt that sticks to the toilet will begin to harden and form stubborn crusty stains . If this is the case, cleaning the toilet using the two methods above will be less effective. Blackened crust stains, especially on the toilet footing, will be difficult to remove.
The way to overcome this is that some people add baking soda as a cleaning agent. This is because baking soda contains salt which is abrasive so it is effective in removing stains on the surface of objects. However, if you don't have a stock of baking soda at home, you can try another method, you know.
One netizen via the YouTube channel MAK IDA BUL-BUL shared a trick to get rid of black crust in the toilet without baking soda. In one of his uploads, he showed the condition of the toilet in his house which was filled with black crust.

Before applying cleaning fluid to the toilet, he seemed to pour hot water into the area around the toilet. Only after that did he apply cleaning fluid to the entire surface of the toilet and let it sit for about 15 minutes for the cleaning fluid to absorb. The YouTube user initially brushed the toilet with the help of sandpaper, dishwashing wire and a brush. However, it turns out that the stubborn black crust is still difficult to clean.
