Limescale and urinary stone are the main pollutants of the toilet bowl. The cause of deposits is usually tap water, the quality of which is far from ideal. Plaque on the walls creates a repulsive impression, which forces housewives to constantly fight to keep their plumbing clean using expensive detergents.
Now we will look at a reliable and affordable method that can cope with even the most complex deposits.

To clean the toilet from limescale and urinary stone you will need:
  • Water – 2 l;

Procedure for removing limescale


The first thing you should do is empty the toilet. The easiest way to do this is with an empty plastic bottle. An alternative is to push the water down the drain using a plunger.

Now we begin to prepare the working solution.Add ammonia and hydrogen peroxide to the previously prepared water. Mix the solution thoroughly. Due to the specific odor of ammonia, the solution should be prepared in a ventilated area. There should be no children or pets near you. We use latex gloves to protect our hands.

Close the lid and wait for several hours. The waiting time depends on the degree of contamination. As practice shows, the composition copes with any deposits overnight. At the same time, do not forget about ventilation of the room - turning on the hood will get rid of the unpleasant odor.

Conclusion


The only drawback of this method is the unpleasant smell. However, this inconvenience is compensated by the cleaning efficiency. Residents of the private sector who have biological treatment stations installed should also be careful. Aerobic bacteria in septic tanks do not tolerate interaction with ammonia. In this case, it is necessary to use special cleaning products based on organic compounds.

    I remove limescale from all items that are not for food use with hydrochloric acid. The acid is sold in hardware stores for 100 rubles per one and a half liter bottle. I carefully pour it onto the limescale and rinse with plenty of water. I remove plaque in this way from the walls of the toilet, wash the shower heads, even washed the bathtub of plaque, a glass jug for watering flowers, etc. I pour it into sewer pipes and it eats up organic matter with a bang. Lime corrodes instantly. Use carefully - acid.

    Three to four day old curdled milk will eat away any rubbish until it shines. Just pour out 0.5 - 1 liter and wait 2 - 3 hours. The dirtiest parts are removed after 3 - 4 procedures.

    More for you in present- caustic soda. Be careful, a violent reaction is possible. Wear rubber gloves, goggles, and a respirator (the same as with hydrochloric acid). These are chemicals, no joke.
