How to clean the toilet from urinary stone and limescale
The desire that the toilet was in immaculate condition is directly related to the question of how to clean the toilet. The causes of pollution can be different, and they can be dealt with by different means.
Ready-to-use products
The cause of urinary stone is mostly hard water. Deposits form especially strongly if barrels flow. But the cause of rust is the increased iron content in the water. It gets there through the fault of old rusty pipes.
Look at the shelves with detergents and cleaning products in any store, and you will see there are a lot of fairly effective substances that cope with the usual problems for many of us.
This and "Domestos", and "Duckling", and "Komet" and many other cleaning products. The difference is only in the price and your habit. Any of them can clean the toilet. We also advise you to purchase special pills that are placed in the tank. They will prevent the formation of plaque, and that same corrosive urinary stone.
Is there an alternative to all these tools, and how can you clean the toilet without them? Surely there are methods with which you can clean the drain, bleach the surface and disinfect.
Alkali
Let's start with caustic soda (not to be confused with soda ash), with which you can clean the pipes from clogging. This substance has the property to eat away organic matter and helps launder fat. They need to be cleaned very carefully, always wearing gloves.
Gels, which include caustic soda, and which we constantly use at home, do an excellent job with deposits of urinary stone and fatty deposits.
Here is how to clean the strong pollution:
remove water from the toilet bowl (can be scooped out);
fill the cleaning fluid and leave for 2-3 hours;
rub the surface with a brush;
wash everything with water.
A little effort - and from rust, dirt and other filth, littering the toilet, there will be no trace. The yellow-brown crust of the urinary stone, which is difficult to remove by other means, will also disappear.
Acid
It copes with the pollution of the toilet acid. She is able to clean the toilet, eliminating traces of rust, virtually any contamination, including corrosive urinary stone. An example of an agent containing an acid is “Silit”. Leaving the acid for a long time is not recommended because it can severely damage the upper smooth layer of enamel. Dilute with water and rinse off after 5-10 minutes.
The most famous and common acid in everyday life is acetic acid. If desired, you can remove the solution of sulfuric acid from the battery, because there it acts as an electrolyte.
Bleach
If you want to clean the toilet of dirt and how to disinfect the surface, killing all the microbes, you can use bleach. It will bleach well, and to scrape a layer of lime and rust, you will need to work with a brush.
It cleans traces of pumice stone well, but using it in the toilet is not very pleasant even when wearing gloves. It is advisable to buy pumice on a stick, then it is not difficult to rustle it on the surface. At home, bleaching powder in combination with abrasive is a universal remedy. But sometimes the raid still remains, and then only acid can help. Bleach also does not always relieve clogging, which makes it necessary to look for another solution to the problem.
Running case
The hardest thing is to clean the old toilet. The surface of it is no longer so smooth, since the top layer is damaged, scratched, in some places microcracks formed. Even if you clean it regularly, it will gradually become more and more dirty. Only one way out of this situation is to replace the old toilet with a new one and make sure that the new one is not contaminated.
A dark-looking Coca-Cola drink is able to give a whiteness to a toilet. It is necessary to pour a bottle of drink into it and leave for a few hours. To check whether Coca-Cola saves from limescale, you can try this method.
Whatever means you use, you must take precautions.
Do not bend too close to the toilet, so as not to breathe harmful fumes.
Wear rubber gloves.
Keep your cleaning fluid away from your skin or eyes.
If you have a strong allergy to chemistry, you will have to give it up. How, then, to clean? Use regular soda without diluting it in water. Drain the water in a small container, such as a plastic cup. Remove residual water with a cloth. Sprinkle soda and rub with a stiff brush. Traces of lime are eliminated with vinegar.
Blockage
No need to explain what is causing the blockage. Hair, fatty leftover food, discharged into the toilet, foreign solid objects can cause obstruction of sewer pipes. A plunger or a large plastic bottle that has the bottom cut off is able to clear a minor blockage.
Making a pushing movement, you break the cork, and the water will drain as before. But from a strong blockage can only relieve the cord or plumber who knows how to use it.
In addition to mechanical methods of cleaning the toilet, there are chemical. You can escape from blockage with the help of hot water (almost boiling water). A bucket of such water is poured into the toilet, which should help clean the pipes.
Caution! Due to temperature fluctuations, the earthenware can crack, so pour hot water gradually so that the surface warms up evenly first.
Do not forget about the tools specifically designed to clean the drain. Use them, strictly following the recommendations of the manufacturer, and this will help get rid of the blockage caused by the accumulation of dirt.
What to do to the toilet was clean
It is not necessary to use fusion to keep the toilet in perfect cleanliness. It is enough to follow a few rules:
ensure that water does not flow from the barrel all the time, that is, to monitor the proper operation of the drain system;
do not pour fat into the toilet and do not constantly throw out leftovers there;
clean regularly with a brush;
rinse with special detergents.
Remember that expensive toilet bowls are easier to keep clean than to rip out, spoiling their smooth surface.
