Unconventional cleaning hack: Dishwasher tablets banish toilet stains

Do you clean your toilet regularly yet still notice limescale and yellow stains? You can remedy this. All you need is a product that was not originally intended for it. Additionally, it's very likely that you already have it at home.

Cleaning the bathroom, particularly the toilet, requires regularity. However, not everyone likes to do it. Constantly postponing this task does not help keep it clean. That's why it's worth using simple but effective methods that will significantly speed up and facilitate maintaining the cleanliness of our toilet.

Suppose traditional cleaning methods fail, and you can still see limescale and yellow, unsightly stains in the toilet. In that case, we need a rather unconventional product that we usually buy for a completely different purpose. Its ingredients will quickly help us get rid of the dirt.

We're talking about a dishwasher tablet. In this case, throw it into the toilet and wait for it to dissolve. To enhance the effect, we can pour boiling water (100°C or 212°F) over it, and after a while, clean the toilet with a brush. Ultimately, you need to flush the water, and it's ready. The result? The bowl will shine like new.

If we're dealing with heavy dirt, it's worth leaving the tablet in the toilet for a few hours or overnight. After this time, we only need to perform the previously mentioned tasks: thoroughly scrub the bowl and flush the water.

When cleaning the toilet, one must also remember to remove dirt from the toilet seat thoroughly. To do this, we can use products even our grandmothers were happy to use - baking soda and vinegar.

The first step is to spray the seat with vinegar and wait about half an hour. If the stains are more intense, you can leave the vinegar for several hours without worry. Then sprinkle the stains with baking soda and spray the seat with vinegar again. Finally, just clean everything thoroughly, rinse with water, and dry it.
