How do you clean a toilet?

quintwins

I had this i used coke, vinegar and every toilet cleaner going, coke and vingegar did help abit but domestos in the black bottle for linescale took about 5 times the amount of linescale away over night and after months of everything else, 2 nights and it was spotless!!! i got it from poundland as it's £3 in tesco.

i've got a really, really, really really bad loo with limescale. Which do i use first to try and clear it? The denture tablets first or demestos zero stuff (hsaf price at mr t's)?

RIGHT I am going to find some of that stuff, coke did absolutely naff all and neither do my usual cleaners shift this. I want rid of the awful brown mark just visible down the start of the U-bend which I'm sure is because some dirty beggar who lived here before us didn't clean the loo properly :eek:.

My toilets badly need cleaned (I do swish them with the brush every couple of days and pour bleach down occasionally, but I realise I need to have some sort of better cleaning routine for them.) Around and below the water level it is very stained. I took to it with a pair of rubber gloves and a brillo pad, and had some small success with getting some small areas sort of chipped off. So it is removable, just not at all easily. I've poured quite a lot of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda down there in an attempt to shift it, or at least soften it so I can scrub it again, but that's just not enough.

I'm willing to use plenty of elbow grease to get rid of it, and by this point I am not against using chemicals that require a gas mask to use because I just want it gone! Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Push as much water down the pipe as possible
Put about a pint of vinegar in the pan
Leave overnight
Should be clean

Is it a bleach/toilet cleaner with descaler in it? Do you put any down at night and leave it till morning before flushing and brushing?

A packet of salt or a cheap cola left overnight goes a long way to removing stuborn stains.

Drain the bowl, buy the very thick harpic with descaler in a black bottle pour all over the now exposed areas and you will be able to clear it of after a couple of hours. Don't scratch the china if there are really thick bits of scale then try chipping at it with a piece of wood (old trick from builder).
