Maintaining a clean and tidy bathroom can be quite the task, particularly if you reside in an area with hard water. This issue can lead to the accumulation of stubborn limescale that manifests as chalky brown stains, especially in your toilet. These stains seem to persist regardless of the amount of bleach used. However, cleaning experts have now praised a very affordable product that can 'transform' your toilet by eliminating these annoying stains permanently.
The professionals at Bust the Dust have identified an effective and budget-friendly solution to this common problem of limescale in toilets. Limescale, primarily made up of calcium carbonate, builds up in areas with hard water. In toilets, it presents as unattractive brown or green stains that are challenging to remove using standard cleaning methods. Over time, these deposits not only mar the look of your bathroom but can also cause plumbing issues if not addressed.
Clare from Bust the Dust suggests a simple yet potent method to get rid of limescale: using cola. This popular drink contains acids such as citric, tartaric, and phosphoric, which are effective in dissolving limescale without the need for harsh chemicals, reports the Express.
To carry out this process, you'll require one 2-litre bottle of full-sugar cola, available at Tesco and Asda for as little as 70p. You'll also need a toilet brush for scrubbing post-treatment, and protective gloves for hygiene reasons. Begin by removing as much water as possible from the toilet bowl, which can be achieved by turning off the water supply and flushing the toilet or by scooping out the water with a cup. By reducing the water level, the cola can focus on the limescale deposits.
