I have some helpful hints on how to getpleasing results without too much work.

You will feel happier while you get the job done.
The average person uses the toilet 2,500 times each year according to World toilet organization, that’s about 6-8 times daily. And it will probably come as no surprise that women generally take 3 times as long as men to use the toilet.
With all that use, it’s no wonder the toilet needs cleaning. Here are some suggestions and tips that will have your bowl glossy and flush with pride.
Cleaning the Bowl
. For basic cleaning, just toss 2 or 3 tablespoons of baking soda around the bowl, then scrub with a toilet brush and flush.
. If you want to deodorize and make clean, pour ? cup of distilled white vinegar around the bowl, with or without baking soda. Let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a brush and flush.
Bowl Brightener
Every now and then, pour a 1 liter bottle of cola-flat or fizzy or diet-into the bowl. Let it stay there for an hour or so, then flush and notice how the porcelain sparkles.
Cleaning Toilet Rings
. A ring in the toilet bowl is usually because of hard-water build up. Make a paste of borax powder (available in supermarket or drugstores) and a few drops of lemon juice. Wet the bowl by flushing the toilet. Then apply the paste on the ring with a sponge or plastic knife. Let it stay there for a couple of hours. Then scrub with a toilet brush and flush the toilet again.
. Wet a pumice stone available in drugstores with a bit of water, and then gently rub the toilet ring with the stone. Wetting the stone is very important because a dry pumice stone will scratch the porcelain surface.
Basic Stain Removers
. Toss a couple of Alka-Seltzer or denture cleaning tablets into the toilet bowl. Once the fizzing stops, scrub the stains with a brush and flush.
. If you have some Tang fruit juice powder, sprinkle 1/3 cup of the powder in the bowl. Leave it there for a few hours, then scrub with a brush and flush.
. If the stains are too tough for even Tang or denture cleanser, empty a few vitamin C tablets, or mash the vitamin C into a powder and drop them in the bowl. Let it stay that way for a few hours. Then scrub with a brush and flush.
Toilet Tank
The parts inside a toilet tank-including the flush and ballcock- are constantly submerged under water and are used many times each day. There’s lot of wear and tear on these parts, even though their fairly easy to replace, you want them to do their jobs properly for as long as possible.
Cleaning the Tank
. Once a month, before you go to bed, pour half a 1-pound of baking soda into the toilet tank. The next morning, when you flush the toilet, the tank and the bowl, too should be nice and clean.
. Drop in a couple of denture-cleansing tablets. Wait one hour for them to stop fizzing, then start cleaning and flush. I hope that the tips and tricks in this article helped solve some of the difficulties in cleaning the toilet bowl. For more tips read Best-Ever Home Secrets.
