I boil my 90% cleaning vinegar, which descales the kettle, leave the water in the toilet and pour it slowly in the toilet. Due to the heat, it removes the hard scale quicker. Let it sit for as long as you can stomach the smell and it will remove any built up. I have to do it regularly, because we have hard water here.
@@lewisbyers8547 no, there is still water in the toilet and the toilet itself takes up some of the heat, so the temperature drops quickly. I wouldn't drop in 10 liters of boiling water in the toilet, but slowly dropping the contents of a kettle in the water of the toilet should give zero issues. Alternatively, just use regular cleaning vinegar, pour some in the toilet and let it sit overnight. Fun fact: bleech corrodes the glazing of the ceramic of the toilet. Vinegar does not.
To remove the water from the bowl you can get most of it out by pouring a bucket of water in to the bowl. The syphonic nature of the s-bend will clear most of it out and it obviously won't get refilled from the cistern
I tried vinegar overnight and the middle "strip" length of the bowl was cleaned 100% but the bulk left and right sides didn't even budge? Any ideas? I tried scrubbing but the stains wouldn't budge even with a scourer and lots of pressure. I left the vinegar all the way up higher enough too.
I use Zep acidic toilet bowl cleaner. Less than 6 dollars. Amazing and quick. Wait 5 minutes and flush. I get it at Lowes. They have a lot of Zep professional products.
I started in a warehouse cleaning and the urinals don't look like they have ever been cleaned. Some are brown and even black with a thick lime scale under that. May need a jack hammer. Any suggestions???
Had a particularly nasty toilet at the place I'm currently renting. The bottom of it was almost pitch black. Never bothered to try to clean it because I didn't think it was possible, but decided to try when I saw this video. It took 9 liters of vinegar but is finally clean again! At some spots the buildup was 2-3 mm thick. Puts a smile on my face every time I go take a leak now. Also I wanted to try out your toilet/shower cleaner of soda crystals + isopropanol mix and I was wondering, is it ok to use it as an all purpose cleaner? Or is it too strong to be used for everything? Maybe you have recipe for an all purpose cleaner as well?
Really good idea! I did leave the vinegar in the toilet bowl overnight for over 12 hours but it only works mainly with water stains and didn't work with the other hard calcium stains (it did lighten the stains though). Thanks for the video!
If you mix vinegar (an acid) and baking soda (a base), you have a neutralization reaction. This reaction forms water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water. So it is useless, because properties of vinegar and baking soda cancel each other
It doesn't always work you have to use a much harder brush to get both holes in the toilet because there is limestone accumulated do you have to physically manually clean it
Fascinating information! Holy cow! So vinegar is stronger by itself. After the million times I mixed vinegar and BS to "make the solution stronger." I'm in shock!

I don't know who to believe. Another source tells me = "When vinegar and baking soda are first mixed together, hydrogen ions in the vinegar react with the sodium and bicarbonate ions in the baking soda. The result of this initial reaction is two new chemicals: carbonic acid and sodium acetate."
@@kathym6603baking soda is base. Vinegar is acid. When u mix them, they gonna "fight" each other until it reaches their maximum power For salt water or weaker acid, it depends on how much u put them. If the ph gonna is neutral, then it gonna be just salt water. But if the ph is more in the acid side, then it turn into weaker acid. This is some elementary school stuff😅.
It is not rocket science.You have just created an acid/alkaline reaction.It works for regular stains, just like cleanser,but I tried it on a very ,old brown toilet bowl, left it for hours, still brown.Some things just have to be replaced.
Vinegar and baking soda combine to form: Water, carbon dioxide, and a little salt. It's pointless to mix them for surface-cleaning like this. Baking soda is the only thing doing a job there. If you need the baking soda to stick to some angled surface, just mix a few tablespoons of water with half a cup, mix it into a paste, slather that on to sit for a while, then scrub.
I'm late to this video, but the baking soda is shown at the very beginning when it shows that baking soda and vinegar doesn't work very well and then shows only vinegar and how much better it was.
@@CleaningHowTo Yeah, that's what the OP meant. You proved baking soda doesn't work so you should change the title of this video and remove 'baking soda' from it as you only used vinegar in the end. So the title should read: "How to clean your toilet using white vinegar only". Your title at the moment is wrong because you did NOT use baking soda.
Nah, I'm perfectly fine with the title. I actually wanted to know if throwing in the baking soda made sense, since baking soda is supposedly going to neutralize the acid. This video came up and confirmed my suspicion that adding baking soda only acts to weak the vinegar. Keep the title!
@@CleaningHowTo Our toilets are awful, soft water area and I've never seen a build up of brown nonsense in any other toilet I've owned (I reckon the enamel is f***ed/porous)... Missus cleaned one and I've to do the other, she said use vinegar and bicarbonate of soda and I said "what's the bicarb for?" She said "it fizzes it clean(!)" and yet still she has to scrub it off with a pumice stone...I said that's just the acid reacting with what must be an alkali and neutralising it. What the f*** good is that gonna do? (I got an A for Chemistry O level in the 80's, she did Art or something)...I see Amazon do 30-40% acetic acid vinegar might order up 5L of that for the next time maybe just use that neat in the bowl might save the arm work!(And kill the septic tank if I don't get it all out lol)
The dedicated limescale removers work best neat so the water still needs to come out of the bowl. The vinegar cost me €4 and I used less than half the bottle - so about €1.50, it isn’t expensive and I’m using it to clean other things. You do whatever method suits you best :)

To drain a toilet you don't need to do any of these yucky things . All you have to do is turn off the stop cock. That is the main tap in the house which turns off all the water supply for all of the pipes in your house . You then flush the toilet and you will notice the cistern does not fill up again. You may need to do a couple of flushes before it drains but within two flushes you will have no water in the toilet and it will not refill again until you turn that stopcock back on. Obviously don't do it well you're running the washing machine or dishwasher because they will stop also until they stop cock is turned back on.

All you are really doing with this method is cleaning the lime scale in the bowl, you are not getting to the root of the problem which is removing the LIME SCALE, all you need to do is buy some kettle descaler clean the bowl as much as you can with a stiff brush then pour a large kettle full of boiling water into the bowl so you now have a bowl full of really hot water then add the kettle descaler and brush all around the bowl and under the rim, and leave it for an hour, then brush again every hour four or five times, then flush the toilet and it will be sparkling, do this once a week and you will have a toilet bowl to be proud of.....

I dislike how you call the previous people dirty. I have always lived in the same city and never had this problem before. I just cleaned toilets with the usual cleaners and a brush. I have tried vinegar and bicarb and scrubbed with a long handled pumice stone, only the scrubbing works but takes a long time.
To be honest, the place was filthy and it needed a deep clean - they were dirty, and I own multiple cleaning businesses and have a very high tolerance for dirt.
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that you didn’t clean the shit out first? There are pieces of shit still in the bowl after you were done. Get the shit out first. Then remove scale and hard water stains later lol. Wtf.

Hydrochloric acid safe would not be safe in a bathroom minus a window Well with my bad luck no way ....Have done what i can and the plumber responsible for these flats is coming to sort .A german toilet is nightmare .Gracious the toilet shown here that you inherited would have cost the last tenant dearly were that Germany ..
Jeezis Kraist if you're unable to use a foreign language, DON'T. Cringey Germans... Aside from that, it's ENGLISH, not Chinese. So it's double-cringe. You're more of a nightmare than our toilets could _ever_ be.
And it's called apartment. "Flat" is an adjective. Rooms are usually three-dimensional. Use Modern English. You're not British. That's triple-cringe.
Ich hasse meine Mitdeutschen so sehr. Peinliches Pack, allesamt...
I didn't watch the whole video and just did what he did in the beginning, now I read it just neutralises each other -.-
thats exactly what i say in the video. . .
Kindly iron out
Could've cleaned the rest of the toilet before showing this.
Can someone help me? I used a rubber tube to siphon the water from the bowl, the same technique for siphoning fuel from a car. The problem is I got water in my mouth, now the wife will no longer kiss me! Any tips! 😂
🤢
😂
What if you have a thick build up on the inside walls of the bowl? I'm going to line the inside with toilet paper & heavily spray it with vinegar, but I have to make sure not to use the toilet for a few hours, maybe piss in the sink if I need to go!😅 {====See emoji, last bit don't take seriously, it's a joke!
Thanks for the details.gross
@@Marcuswelby-nx2te your welcome 😁
Lmao 😂😂😂 so did you get your issue resolved?
What did you do for number 2?💩
@@Marcuswelby-nx2te the toilet was clean by then, I made sure that I didn't need to go while cleaning & pissing in the sink was an added joke, see the emoji, don't take literally!
I dislike how you call the previous people dirty. I have always lived in the same city and never had this problem before. I just cleaned toilets with the usual cleaners and a brush. I have tried vinegar and bicarb and scrubbed with a long handled pumice stone, only the scrubbing works but takes a long time.
To be honest, the place was filthy and it needed a deep clean - they were dirty, and I own multiple cleaning businesses and have a very high tolerance for dirt.
They are more than dirty. Pigs.
You know you can turn the water supply off to the toilet, flush and it will be empty, right? Previous tenants left the toilet like that? Nasty people!
Good god another one....
I HATE . . . *TOILETS‼🤢🤮*
A necessary evil 🤣
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that you didn’t clean the shit out first? There are pieces of shit still in the bowl after you were done. Get the shit out first. Then remove scale and hard water stains later lol. Wtf.
ok what is wrong with people
This crap doesn't work. Don't waste your vinegar and baking soda.
Did you watch the video? I feel like you didn’t watch the video. . .
Your black gloves are a turn on.
glad to be of service haha
my toilet exploded !!!!!!!!!!!!! AVOID !
Just buy a new toilet
if my toilet looks like this. I am replacing it.
Not looking disinfected yucks
You disinfect your toilet everyday after using it? Just boil the vinegar, pour it in slowly as to not crack the porcelain and voila, disinfected.
