I would be tempted to do both in the same way again but add soda crystals/baking soda for 10 minutes at the end. It gives bleach a superpower & it'd fizz all the remnants when it mixes with the citric acid. I'm so tempted to try it myself but I've got so much to do before Christmas that people will see, I'll fight the usual urge to clean hidden things until the New Year 😆

Citric acid, bleach, or vinegar will corrode the seals inside the tank. My plumber recommends using oxiclean.

@joebarfield1525 2 года назад

I have to share this. After your video I had Citric Acid on my shopping list. I normally use Lysol bowl cleaner but I had a bottle of Dollar General Toilet bowl cleaner and I decided to try it. I found that if I add about a quarter of the bottle to the tank and let it set for a couple hours (while everyone is sleeping) then flush it and I was AMAZED at how clean the tank became with NO SCRUBBING. I’d like to add after pics but I don’t see that option. I only wish I had thought to take before ones. Sorry but it was brown with a definitive deposit line. I’ve seen many tips & tricks online but none completely remove those dreadful stains and some require at least some hands on scrubbing but not this one. I couldn’t believe it. Now the bowl will stay clean and require less work. I’m doing the main bathroom toilet tank tonight. Hey, you gotta enjoy the small victories in life. Try it for $1.25 it’s well worth it. The Ball brand Citric Acid is $5.43 at our Walmart so the DG Toilet cleaner at $1.25 is way cheaper and it left zero residue.

@tracysellman1562 2 года назад

I would suggest next time you put the Citric Acid in the bucket with the warm water first, then mix it up and pour it into the water tank. Just an idea to make it easier and to make sure all the powered Citric Acid gets mixed up and dissolved.

@hisforharley2022 2 года назад

I totally agree.

@backyardpc1656 Год назад

I did that, mixed it in the water first. By the way, the citric acid trick absolutely works like a charm. I got the citric acid at Wal-Mart in the dishwashing machine section. It’s call Lemi Shine, dish detergent booster. Comes in a 24 oz. plastic container.

I read a good post awhile back from a cleaning lady that cleaned offices at night when they were closed. When she started her shift, she poured Kool Aid in the tanks every night when she started. The Kool Aid contains citric acid and that's what I've been using and it works good. She said the toilets at the offices where she worked were all sparkling clean, from the Kool Aid. I did not believe it at first but it does work.

@txgrandma3 3 года назад

I tried the citric acid method and it's the best I've used yet. We have well water and I find that within a couple days of cleaning just the bowl, it's beginning to show signs of growth. I realized that it was actually the water from the dirty tank that was causing this issue and so set about trying to find the best answer. I got the citric acid and put it to work. I let it sit for 1 hour and was amazed at the results! I then cleaned the bowl as usual and after several days, it is still as clean as it was right after it was scrubbed. It's an amazing idea and now I will apply it to the other two toilets in my home. I love the way you get right down to business in your videos but always keep it entertaining for us as well. Thanks for sharing!

Just a caution. My husband's family has built houses for decades. One thing he always said is never use bleach in the tank. Not to clean and not those bleach tabs that you put in the tank to keep the bowl clean when you flush. The bleach will mess up all the inner workings in the tank and the parts have to be replaced.

Excellent!! We used to live in a city that had nearly the worst water I'd ever had to use- it was hard and smelled like a pool, and yet, the toilet was a nightmare. So, after I learned about ditching the Bleach and cleaning our home with Whit Vinegar, I thought about how it whitened and refreshed my coffee cups !! I purchased one of the small bottles of white vinegar to keep under the bathroom sink and poured about a cup of it in the tank once a week.... And it was like magic!! When doing weekly cleaning of the toilet I no longer needed to use chemicals and elbow grease. I did, however, continue to use Scrubbing Bubbles under the rim, but other than that just vinegar in the tank to maintain. Pretty awesome. Thanks for the great video.

@shdwbnndbyyt 3 года назад

Citric acid is essentially tri-acetic acid, three acetic acid groups attached to one backbone, so it acts as a stronger version of vinegar (dilute acetic acid) with one acid group being neutralized as the pH rises (it goes from citric acid at low pH to mono sodium citrate to disodium citrate to trisodium citrate at very high pH -- mind you this is not quite right because we are dealing with solutions and H+, Na+ and citrate ions, but you can buy all of the mentioned chemicals as solid material).... It can chelate metal ions like edta does. Yes, I am a chemist. Now bleach will work against algae growth and acidic deposits. But lime is a base as is sodium hypochlorite (bleach), so the deposits are less likely to remove them, although since it is a strong oxidant, any organic matter including susceptible plastics and elastomers (rubber-like polymers) will be damaged by it.

I gloved up and hand scrubbed with a rough pad. I don't recall what product I used, but hand scrubbing was an excellent start. I probably used foaming cleaner + chlorinated cleanser. I keep the tank nice by flushing once a week, and spraying the insides of the tank with 409®, to disinfect. The nasty stuff has not come back in two years.

We had no problem using the citric acid and no problem with warping anything. I am not suggesting anything stupid when using it, so don't eat it, unless you are pickling but t's also good enough for human consumption because it's used in canning and pickling. If it doesn't harm us, why would it harm the flapper? I don't get it. Besides who wants to scrub that stuff? It's almost impossible to get it looking clean like the citric acid does. You know they also make tablets of the citric acid for cleaning toilet bowls? Wal-Mart carries it.

Good deal. I'm going to try that. Thanks!

@carlahimmen2978 3 года назад

I wish I had taken photos, but the citric acid really did work! The tank was soooo much better! The bowl took quite a bit of elbow grease due to years of buildup. Thanks so much!

I love it too! Will clean my toilet tanks this week without scrubbing. 👏 👏 👏

@sonjahickmon5203 6 месяцев назад

I tried iron out, but it did not do anything. Did I do something wrong?

@joannfinn4692 3 года назад

Amazed at this! Definitely picking up some next trip to the grocery ❤️

@kimberlyw6940 2 года назад

This worked for me. I’m planning to do the other toilets next weekend. The dirty tanks always bothered me.

I'm getting ready to try a dishwasher tablet in my toilets- leave overnight- hopefully it will work. Thank you for your citric acid vs.bleach video- anything beats scrubbing!

@keith488 Год назад

I wish you had use the tablet first and then let us know how that worked. On the other hand I didn't really look through to see if you had a follow-up so sorry if you did

@howard7606 Год назад

Andrea, Thank you! Have well water and tanks do get funky. I have scrubbed in the past and it never worked well and was a real mess. Did citric acid as you recommended, and tanks are completely white!. I mean like brand new! I love them clean, but it will keep all the flush parts working well also.

Bleach is actually formulated to work as good or better with cold water

You're welcome!

@laviniasmith5265 2 месяца назад

Great information thank you! It’s really bothered me having rust and iron stains in the toilet tank. I just don’t understand why toilet manufacturers don’t make it lined or sealed for easy cleaning and maintenance.

@kencorsell8087 2 года назад

I’m surprised you didn’t mix oxyclean with the citric acid! Works great to clean mold mildew and residue. Recommended for cleaning washing machine tubs!

@seanwhitehouse2274 Год назад

Is citric acid ok to use with septic systems?

@TheFeliciaFeFe 6 месяцев назад

That would be mixing an acid with something that is alkaline and probably wouldn't work right.

@donajean33 3 года назад

Can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.

@donajean33 3 года назад

I did this and it blew my mind how well it worked! Amazing thank you!

@emilycurtis8122 2 года назад

I love this hack! Citric acid is used in food canning! It’s the same as using vitamin C or lemon juice for preserving. I’m trying this today!! :)

@gingerreid8569 3 года назад

I want to say I have tried: white vinegar...vinegar + baking soda....Efferdent tabs....CLR....everything I have found...let sit overnight each time...nope...and yes my tanks (2 baths) were horrible...this house was from 1988....so....I am gonna tell you what not only worked like magic...but no touch and no scrub and in less than *2* hours....IRON OUT...a powder I found at Walmart...around 12.00...but both tanks are like brand new! I had thought I had to let sit 5-6 hours...nope...1.5 hours and I went in to peek...OMG...all stains were gone! Now...you do not want this powder on you...you do not want to bend down and put your face close to pouring in the powder.....but I had no fumes and just walked away...had NO idea that in that short time...it would look that good...yes, I have pictures! Now...I do not think I would need to use this product very often...actually...the tanks are so clean...a periodic run of vinegar and baking soda ( organic) would keep things in check...I am a very pro organic natural cleaner type of person...my bottle of go-to cleaner is white vinegar/dawn (95/5%)...if it's super greasy...I use the Dawn powerwash, spray, sit and clean...I only use white vinegar as my rinse agent in my washing machine...so I am not a chemical person...but this truly worked like magic...so once it's good and clean...I feel I can keep up with a more organic procedure!

Some makers of toilet float valve mechanisms warn against using cleaning products that contain or generate chlorine bleach (soidum hypochlorite solution), because (they say) it will damage the float valve mechanism. That warning precludes using some (many) of the tablet-style, per-flush cleaning options. I'm not sure if a one-shot, short-term exposure to chlorine bleach, as in this video, would have the same potentially damaging effects as long-term exposure to the chemicals in those tablets. Just a thought.

@donna7338 Год назад

Impressive. I would think CLR would work as well, but would probably be more expensive. What I would do differently: Dissolve the citrus acid in a bucket of hot water and then pour it into the tank and use enough hot water that would fill up over the top of the ring that was left.
