primitives discuss cleaning toilets

Oh my.

This campfire's a tad bit old, but it wouldn't be Sunday in the DUmpster unless there was a thread about the primitives' problems with commodes.

Every Sunday, there's been one.

All you need to clean toilets is vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and/or borax.

Borax and Baking Soda
Mix 3 parts baking soda to 1 part Borax

Vinegar
Pour white vinegar into the toilet and let it sit for 30 minutes. Next sprinkle baking soda on a toilet-bowl brush and scour any remaining stained areas. Flush.

Baking Soda
Pour 1/2 box of baking soda into the toilet bowl.
Let the baking soda stand overnight in the bowl. Try to do this the last thing before bed so you don’t accidentally flush the toilet before the baking soda has a chance to work.

Flush the toilet several times in the morning.
Run a brush around the bowl to fully remove any loosened grime.

Borax and Lemon Juice
Pour 1 cup of Borax into a small bowl.
Pour 1/2 cup of lemon juice over the Borax and gently stir with a spoon into a paste.
Flush the toilet to wet the sides, then rub the paste onto the toilet with a sponge.
Let it sit for 2 hours before scrubbing thoroughly. This is great for removing a stubborn stain, like a toilet bowl ring.

Borax and Vinegar
Flush the toilet to wet the sides of the bowl.
Sprinkle a cup of Borax around the rim and sides of toilet.
Spray 1/2 cup of vinegar over the Borax.
Allow to sit for several hours or overnight.
Scrub thoroughly with a toilet brush until the bowl gleams.

Sometimes, hard water just leaves a stubborn ring that no amount of scrubbing or rubbing can get rid of. That’s when you grab a pumice stone, wet it and and rub lightly on the stain.

1. ty, Catherina, for this good tip!

We have an old toilet in one bathroom, I will try this.

and can use the recipe to keep the new toilet in the other bathroom nice and clean.

2. YW!

I cleaned all my toilets this weekend and they sparkle!

The water's so hard here that it forms rings if you're not on it.

Some people say coke works too but the one time I did it, I did it wrong.

Let me know what your results are

3. This is pretty much all I have used since '99.

Minus the Borax.

franksolich, not being a racist, doesn't use only "white" vinegar.

franksolich uses whatever vinegar's around, no matter its race, color, or creed.

All colors work equally well.

Like any of the clowns would actually clean a toilet, that job is beneath them.

Try using the drink next time, and not the powder.

I heard that Clorox and urine work good but you have to stay around and watch it work.

I use 1/2 a bottle of ammonia and 1/2 a bottle of Clorox.  Mix them both in the toilet, close all windows and turn off all fans and breathe deeply. If you do this you will never have to clean the toilet again.  :-)

Why go to all that trouble when you can just get a bottle of Lysol and clean the toilet with it? or even Comet which is cheaper.

Make sure you add a little hot water too dummies!!! Got to get some steam action going. It helps to clean the toilet. For that matter, put a bunch of that in the bathtub too while you are at it. It will make it really, really, clean. Then when you flush/drain the toilet/bathtub, it will make your drain pipes clean too!!!!

It's a win/win/win dummies!!!

The Clorox, a 1 liter bottle of Coke, a 1 liter bottle of Diet Coke, and a package of Mentos will clean the sh*t out of it.

Cleaning toilets had nothing to do with this thread.

The sole reason DUmmy Catherina started this thread was to brag, like Pam Dawson, that she has more than a single toilet.

I use a sprinkle of granular pool chlorine. Or sodium hydroxide, depending on available supplies.
