Tricks to remove stubborn limescale from the toilet without sanding, just rely on 2 kitchen ingredients

If left too long, the stain can harden and become a crust that is difficult to clean.

Brilio.net - Stains in the toilet are often a difficult problem to overcome. Dirt from dust, water, or waste can accumulate over time, making the toilet look dirty and less hygienic. If left too long, the stains can harden and become a crust that is difficult to clean.

Cleaning the toilet requires special materials to get maximum results. Most people rely on porcelain cleaning fluid to remove stains. However, if the scale is too stubborn, this fluid is often not effective enough to clean it thoroughly.

As a solution, some people choose to rub the crust in the toilet using sandpaper so that the stains are easier to remove. This method is quite effective, but it requires extra effort and risks damaging the porcelain surface if not done carefully.

However, besides using sandpaper, there are other more practical tricks to clean the toilet. One YouTube user, my assistant, once shared how to clean stubborn limescale with a faster and less laborious method.

As reported by brilio.net on Thursday (6/3), the YouTube user admitted to mixing his own toilet cleaner. Instead of using porcelain cleaner, he relied on two ingredients found in the kitchen, namely baking soda and apple cider vinegar.

How to use it is also quite easy. First, prepare a bowl. Then add baking soda and apple cider vinegar to taste. For the measurements, you can adjust the thickness and width of the stubborn crust in the toilet. Now, stir these two ingredients with the help of a brush.

Next, immediately apply the vinegar and baking soda to the stubborn crust in the toilet. While applying, spread it evenly over the entire toilet. Once it is evenly distributed, let it sit for 5-10 minutes so that the crust can fall off even more.

After being left alone, the stubborn crust in the toilet seems to have faded. However, for maximum results, scrub the toilet again with a brush. Or you can also use a brush if the crust stains are very stubborn. Once brushed, flush the toilet until clean.
