Cleaning toilet

[stridesy]

Hi I use bleach to clean the toilet regularly but it's the bit at the bottom where the water sits that I can get clean with a brush. I've used caustic soda which was quite effective but don't want to do that on a regular basis. Just want to know if there's anything I can do regularly.

Is it limescale you're wanting to treat? The chemicals that work on limescale work best undiluted, so youll need to empty as much from the bottom of the bowl as you can (I use the loo brush to swish it down the u-bend) then pop black harpic down.

Sterident( steredent?) . Either way it works wonders.

Thankyou I will give those a go. I use harpic black toilet cleaner but it's not making a difference to the bottom where the water sits. Looks like hard water or lime scale build up.

Astonish loo tablets , about £2.60 for 10 from Lakeland. You might need 2 if it's heavy scale, work brilliantly .

Duck Lavender limescale remover.

Leave it to sit overnight, then give it a good scrub the next day (use gloves and make sure you protect your eyes before you do it as it works better while the limescale remover is in the toilet when you clean it), do it for about 5 mins then flush! Removed the limescale remover in my toilet! Prior to that, it was thick and rusty as hell! Now I use it every night before going bed then clean and flush it the morning before using the loo to keep limescale at bay.
