How Do You Remove Iron Stains From A Toilet Bowl?
The rusty stains that collect inside your toilet bowl come from the natural iron and mineral components found in hard water, although even softened water will eventually cause stains. The iron builds up on the porcelain of your toilet bowl and rusts when exposed to air. The simplest way to prevent rust buildup in toilets is to regularly scrub out the bowl with bathroom cleanser; however, once you have a buildup, it’s still relatively simple to remove. Put on rubber gloves and open the bathroom windows, if possible, for ventilation. Drain the water from the toilet. If necessary, scoop the water from the toilet bowl out with an old cup and dump into a bucket. Add the toilet cleaner to the bowl, following the manufacturer’s directions. Scrub well, using the toilet brush. Wipe up any splatters immediately with old rags. Toilet cleaner can damage or bleach bathroom rugs, tile or fixtures. Flush the toilet several times to rinse after scrubbing.
