3. Turn the tap and press the toilet flush again. This releases the majority of the water from the bowl, and the undiluted cleaning agent remains on the stain, where it has a better effect.
4. Use a toilet cleaner specifically designed to remove limescale deposits, or use white vinegar as a natural solution. Spray or pour the product of your choice generously onto the contaminated areas. When using vinegar, it is advisable to heat it first, as hot vinegar picks up more easily.
5. Let the product have at least 15 minutes on, with strong deposits longer. For particularly stubborn stains, you can leave the cleaner or vinegar soon overnight.
6. Scrubbing the bowl with a toilet brush. Focus on dirty areas and loosen the dirt with solid, circular movements. In the case of stubborn stains, a pumice stone can also be used. However, to avoid scratches on the porcelain, please moisten it beforehand.
7. Check the results. If there are still stains, repeat the application of the detergent or vinegar and scrub again. In the case of persistent limescale deposits, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar can be used, which creates a bubbling effect and thus supports the removal of stains.
8. If you are satisfied, open the water valve again. Rinse the toilet several times to remove dissolved detergent and lime.
9. Clean your toilet bowl regularly and consider using a water softener if you live in an area with hard water. This will prevent the formation of limescale deposits in the future.
With these steps, you can effectively remove lime and hard water spots from your toilet and ensure that it remains clean, hygienic and visually appealing. Through regular maintenance and occasional thorough cleaning, you prevent limescale deposits from becoming a major problem and save time and effort in the long term.
