    I did this a while back and it got rid of a nonstop ring that would appear even a couple days after I just cleaned the toilet. BUT and this is a huge but, it absolutely deteriorated the gasket and caused my toilet to leak profusely for like a couple weeks until I had it fixed. I didn’t know it at the time but it was definitely from the vinegar, granted the toilet was about 10 years old but the vinegar gave it that slight nudge and the gasket that holds the main water supply at the bottom of the tank failed and there was nothing I could do to stop it. So if someone tells you that it won’t deteriorate the rubber/gaskets, that’s not true, I would say if it’s a newer toilet then it should be fine, but most of our toilets are 10-15 years old, unless we just moved into a new house. I had all 3 of the toilets in my house rebuilt because they were all due, and the plumber basically said they’re all going to do it eventually might as well take care of them while he was here. He put new pumps, new gaskets, and new bolts, feels like a brand new toilet.

      Yeppp. Vinegar can cause damage to rubber gaskets/fittings/rubber anything. I always take the rubber rings out of my faucet nozzles before soaking them in vinegar. Sometimes there's also a tiny rubber ring INSIDE the aerator. So I completely disassemble them and take that out. Because it's so small, it is the most vulnerable.
      I've actually gotten sick from soaking them in vinegar without taking the rubber ring out! Eventually those tiny rubber fragments get into your drinking water.
      Never have used the vinegar hack in my washing machine for towels or to clean a washing machine due to this. That would potentially be an absolute disaster.

    Do you all know there is "cleaning vinegar"? I just recently found out. It's just a little stronger than food grade but every little bit of muscle helps. I use it undiluted to clean. I keep a spray bottle of undiluted cleaning vinegar close to the shower. As soon as I finish my shower, three times a week, I spray the cleaning vinegar right on the water on my glass shower doors and immediately squeegee it off. Perfectly clean doors and I do not use a cloth to clean them now but a couple times a year. Cleaning vinegar also removed a stubborn mineral buildup stain inside the plastic utility sink in the laundry room. Poured some on the stain and walked away. Looks brand new, it's a 19 y/o plastic sink.

    Yeah, like I look inside my toIlet tank every time i use it and say, "Yuk!" Now, someone said pour CLR down the tank tube to clean the holes in the BOWL and let it soak. Yes! That can also help with that bowl "ring," which most likely is a build-up of mineral deposits. And if CLR does not work, get an acidic cleaner for the bowl and a $2.00 scouring stick from Walmart. The best way to "clean" the tank is to scrub it with a good brush and flush out the sediments, but DO NOT put chemicals in the tank!

      @@Anamarie157 absolutely true, it is awesome that you researched it. never experienced any adverse reaction to it as it is used in small amount and that solution does not stay too long in the tank (it is a busy toilet :D). The overnight solution would be the peroxide, baking soda with a teaspoon or so of dishwashing liquid, works wonders even for the floor. we do much appreciate your kindness and clarity in that. Great day to you.

    skip the scrubbing. I use OXY powder and pour half a cup into the bowl and wait half an hour. You'll see a brand-new toilet bowl after a few flushes. all my toilets start to leak because of the dirty flappers and I just thought of this idea and it worked so wonderfully. So proud of myself.

    Drain the tank completely and leave the seat up. Maybe even blame the hubby for that? Toss the tank lid in the bathtub bottom up beforehand. 2 boxes of baking soda. 2 jugs of pickling vinegar. Close the bathroom door with a folded towel blocking the gap. Let sit overnight.
    Bagless Shopvac in the morning and you'll be able to eat off of EVERY surface in that bathroom!!! And probably develop an obsession for fish+chips as well. 👍👍
