How to Remove Rust Stains from a Toilet Naturally
If you are looking for a temporary affordable and natural fix for the hard water and rust stain problems you’re experiencing with your toilet, below are three ways to outsmart hard water.
While you can’t fix everything, like protecting the inside of your pipes, these helpful tips will provide some temporary cosmetic relief:
Remove Toilet Bowl Rust Stains, Toilet Spots and Tank Scale buildup
- Vinegar (white or apple cider)
- Vinegar’s acidity can cut through the minerals left behind by hard water. Create your own cleaner by mixing a 50–50 solution of distilled water and vinegar to spot-treat scale. Combine vinegar with baking soda for a more powerful scrub.
- Lemon juice
- Like vinegar, the acidity in lemon juice is able to cut through the hard water minerals deposited on toilet faucets and bowl.
- Commercial products
- Chemical cleaners can help eliminate scale buildup and rust stains left behind by hard water.
