Hard water increases the minerals' ability to stain bathroom surfaces. Acidic water increases the corrosion of copper pipes, which can leave a green or blue tinge on the porcelain. This can be noticeable in the toilet bowl, especially near the holes where water slips into the bowl. Weekly cleaning will prevent the accumulation of copper in a toilet bowl. If copper accumulates, however, it can remove copper stains.
Instructions
1 Open a window or turn on the exhaust fan. Ammonia should only be used in a well-ventilated area.
2 Pour 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl. Use a bath brush to mix the baking soda in the water and scrub the stains and under the rim of the toilet.
3 Thoroughly rinse the baking soda from the toilet by pulling the chain.
4 Pour 3 cups of ammonia into the toilet bowl.
5 Use the bath brush to mix the ammonia in the water and scrub under the edge and around the remaining spots.
6 Rinse the toilet bowl and pull the chain.
Tips and warnings
- The odorless week is washed with a mild natural abrasive, such as baking soda.
- Never mix ammonia with other cleaning products. Mixture of household chemicals can produce toxic chloramines. Always pull the chain to rinse the ammonia, as soon as you have finished cleaning the toilet.
