Remove Calcification From Toilets

Remove Calcification From Toilets


If you have hard water and do not scrub your toilet bowl regularly, then calcium deposits can build up in your toilet bowl, causing unsightly crusts around the inside of the toilet. It not only looks unsightly, but can cause plumbing problems as well. Fortunately, there is a simple remedy that you can attempt yourself without the aid of an expensive plumber. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Wear rubber gloves that extend to your elbow to protect yourself from harmful bacteria.


2. Shut off the water valve that is located behind the toilet. Flush the toilet to empty the bowl of water. Pour a bottle of white distilled vinegar into the toilet bowl and allow it to soak for an hour. Vinegar is an acid that will loosen mineral deposits in the toilet while remaining safe for use around pets and children.


3. Rub a wet pumice stone or nail file over the calcified areas. It should come off easily, so use light pressure and be careful not to scratch the toilet bowl.


4. Scrub the toilet with a scrub brush to make it sparkling clean inside and flush the toilet.
