SSPDaily has prepared tips for removing rust. Learn how to clean the toilet bowl.
Vinegar and baking soda
Pour a cup of vinegar into the tank and leave it for several hours. After that, pour baking soda into the tank and gently scrub away the rust with a toilet brush. Rinse the tank thoroughly to remove any residue and leave it with fewer stains.
Lemon juice and salt
Apply lemon juice to the rusted areas and then sprinkle salt on top. Leave this mixture on for several hours, and then use a brush to gently remove the rust. Afterward, rinse the tank to remove any residue, significantly improving the condition of the rust stains.
Oxygen bleach
Mix oxygen bleach with water to make a solution that should be poured into the tank and left for several hours. Then, using a brush, remove any remaining rust stains and rinse the tank to get rid of any residue.
Prevention
Regularly cleaning and drying the cistern after use will help minimize rust build-up. Installing a water softener in your home will also help reduce the mineral content of the water, which will subsequently prevent rust and other stains from forming on the toilet tank.
