Thanks for that tip.....when i tried to make the fabric conditioner with vinegar and bicarb, i lost half of it down the sink!!!! Just gonna stick with the vinegar and a few drops of EO now...not nearly as messy!!!

I just use diluted vinegar in the kitchen sprayer, roughly 50:50, but I add a few drops of essential oil (tea-tree) to the one I use for the bathroom and around the house.

After reading about the old Cheap Cola down the loo trick I thought I'd give it a try...my toilet is now seemingley stained DARK BROWN:eek: instead of the norm and looks TEN TIMES worse than before I used the coke:mad: !!!!!

Any suggestions??!!??!!:o

Try removing as much, if not all the water from the loo, sprinkle with bicarb and then pour on vinegar. If you make it into a paste it should stay on the toilet, leave for an hour or two then rub in and rinse away.

This sounds very un green :rolleyes: but I would say bleach and lots of it! Leave over night, and buy a really good thick one!

The problem with bleach is that it can damage the porceline (sp) in the toilet, so they recomend that you dont use it very often, as its the bleach that cause those small hairline cracks to appear!!!

Well ya learn something new every day! Thanks for that piece of information Catowen, it's very useful to know.

Does anybody think it'd be rude to "unbrown" a friend's loo while I'm staying in her house? I want to just do it, but do you think I should ask first? I can't imagine she'd be annoyed. It's a loo in a spare room so maybe she won't even notice...what do you think?

Thanks as well for that Catowen - I didn't realise that I made those cracks my self!!

SnowwyOwl - I would clean it but not say anything!!
