So if I sum up the suggestions you've shared to improve this process: 1) Wear gloves:-) 2) Heat the vinegar 3) Don't scoop water out, just shut off water supply and plunge back into the system.
Dude... a couple things. 1) Don't scoop the water and spread dirty toilet water to your sink where you brush your teeth... and getting it on your hands (gross). This is an easy fix. Turn off the water valve then flush it. 2) wear gloves 3) wear gloves and oh yea... wear gloves
What you illustrated was good for the low hanging fruit. Scale build up is what slows down and hinders the flush. Look in the Jet Hole in the lower front area of the bowl. Flush out as much water as possible get a inspection mirror and feel in there with your finger. Wholly Crap Batman it's almost fully closed up. This my friend is the challenge. How do we dissolve the scale?
The hard metal tools or pumice stone is not a good idea on your teeth or toilet because you are removing the top shiny coating which allows new stains to form.
Hi Ammon! I use this method too. If you don't want to scrub much (& I don't) just reapply the vinegar & let it soak some more. It works! Thanx for posting.
For your health I would suggest turning the water off from your toilet first instead of scooping it out. Please wear gloves when you are doing this. Good video otherwise.
I just don't understand why so many people stick their hands in toilets like it's a swimming pool. I don't do anything involving toilet cleaning or maintenance, without gloves. I can't imagine sticking my bare hands in toilet water.
The acid isn't strong enough. Use sulphuric or muriatic acid, or at least high concentration essence of vinegar. Wear gloves and eye goggles while working with a brush. Vinegar is watered down for safety and needs heat to accelerate the reaction, but there isn't a practical way of keeping it warm down in the toilet. Battery electrolyte works well, comes out cheaper with less bottled water, and has only a light smell while working. Lime, rust and organic deposits will come off with a light pass of a brush, without needing to touch the toilet, and the ceramic will stay intact and glossy for longer.
Temperature is always an ingredient aka factor in any chemical reaction, so what I do is: - warm up your vinegar put aside on standby - warm up your toilet bowl with boiling water - then & only then you pour your hot Vinegar. You will be amazed at the difference in both cleaning aggressivity & the much shorter cleaning process with much less intervention.,
@@xXMatt55Xx Depends on the build up in your toilet. Empty out the water using a little cup and a cloth. Pour in the high concentration vinegar up to the usual water level and leave for around 20 minutes, then flush. See how much limescale is left and repeat the process, if necessary. Soak paper towels in vinegar and lay them over any higher spots in the bowl. Leave for longer or less, depending on the efficacy of the vinegar. It's a little bit trial and error but you will get to know your own toilet and the amount of limescale that tends to build up. Follow up cleanings will take a lot less time after the first big clean, so to speak! Good luck!
A much quicker solution; 1. Turn off toilet water. 2. Flush toilet. 3. Plunge toilet with a plunger. 4. Spread "Comet With Bleach" onto surface, wet surface. 5. Wait a few minutes. 6. Scrub with a pumice stone. 7. Turn toilet water back on. 8. Flush toilet.
ClanLord from what I have read, 1-9% is good for general cleaning, food prep, etc. 10% becomes acidic enough to cause skin/eye irritation 25-30% become corrosive and potentially lethal if consumed and 90+% becomes volitile and flammable. So, can you use 60% for cleaning toilets, probably, since the porcilan can probably handle it. But wear gloves and don't use it on plastics or other materials that might be eaten away by the mixture. It can be diluted, but some people advise diluting slowly since adding water to an acid causes it to heat up and could have harmful heat, boiling, steam reactions. Sorry for the long answer.
OMG!! Thats nasty. I have never heard of anyone cleaning a toilet without gloves. I even double glove my hands. Also I lower the water in my toilet by just using the toilet brush in the bottom.
Clorox would have cleaned it all for you. Just pour and wait about 20mins -30mins. No scrubbing needed for the ring. Then use your bowl brush and brush the upper surfaces,. Presto!
lol so you spread the germs from your toilet bowl throughout your home?.. turning the water supply off and flushing until the tank's empty is the easiest way.
Thomas - the toilet U-bend will not empty unless you wait 2 months for it to evaporate. If you put your mop into bleached water afterwards it will kill any germs.
Another TIP is to not wait so long that you have to use chemicals and hard toothbrushes to clean the inside of the toilet bowl. Honestly, you'd have to NOT clean the toilet at least 90 to 120 days to get it dirty enough to require hard brushes, metal screwdrivers and vinegar. Did I miss anything? Don't get me wrong here I mean you showed something but maybe re-up with the tip something like "It's best to clean your toilet at least every 3 months, and now with the video.." Thanks God Bless America.
OMG it was so hard to watch you do an amazing job without gloves. It totally distracted me from the hole process. I would like you video had you worn gloves!!!!!!! Don't ever touch me, your hands are bugged for life.
COOL and Instant clean toilet bowl! Thumbs up Ammon, thanks for sharin' this cool tip, will do because our toilet is so full of hard water buildup, its UGLY!
I'm not sure why i said flush twice but the plunger is key. i feel like this has gone further than i had anticipated just hated to see a guy having to scoop water out of a toilet haha
Please do NOT use anything metal on your porcelain, whether sink or toilet. You are making hard to see scratches on the surface. You WILL see them eventually because your water obviously contains the minerals which created the build up in the first place. Each time you remove the hard water crud, the minerals immediately resume settling into the imperfections YOU created with your metal scratches. If the hard water can crud up perfectly smooth porcelain, what makes you think it WON'T do even more in the scratching?!
Baking soda will neutralize the vinegar, remove all water with shop vac, dump into tank and flush that way the holes at the top get a dose of vinegar let it sit for 24 hours with white vinegar. Vinegar is by far the best thing to use, clr is too expensive and didn't work for me.
I just remembered this, for that dirty RING you could use WHITE-OUT for it? As long as you cup out some water and dry the inside before applying the WHITEOUT. Also get a can of white hard enamel spray paint or faux porcelain white spray paint. That spray paint stuff is good stuff. They use it on $400 Million jumbo jets so it must be pretty good.
Hmm, I have a pretty disgusting skillet from last night’s dinner that’s going to be tough to get clean. Maybe I should just buy a can of silver spray paint . . . 😂🤢
