How To Clean A Stained Toilet Bowl
You may find that one (or more) of these methods will easily remove those stains in the toilet bowl. Then again, you might not! It’s worth a try, right?
Important Note: It needs to be mentioned that if you have a septic tank, you need to be very careful what actually goes down the toilet. Some of the chemicals and methods listed below will kill the good bacteria in your septic system and that causes all sorts of problems.
1. Toilet Bowl Cleaner Under Flapper
What’s a flapper? Well, the image below will help you with that – follow these instructions to not only to get rid of even the most stubborn stains, but also to give the parts of the toilet you can’t get to a good clean out too – eliminating the source of a lot of future stains.
- Turn off the water to the tank
- Flush and drain the tank and let it dry completely
- Pour toilet bowl cleaner under the flapper until it comes out all holes in the bowl (even the front ones)
- Give the bowl and the stains a scrub with a toilet brush
- Let it sit for 15-20 minutes
- Turn the water back on and flush the toilet
- Continue flushing until clear water is coming out into the bowl
This should remove most of the stains. If you have some stains leftover then repeat the process with CLR instead of toilet bowl cleaner.
