Our toilet had developed a hard, thick, dark brown layer at the bottom of the bowl, in spite of being fed soft water. I've tried everything. All kinds of toilet bowl cleaners, CLR, I've even resorted to chiseling at it. I gave up years ago and decided to just live with it. Then I found this video and decided to try this product. OMG! 15 minutes and a light scrub with some scotchbrite and all gone! It was just amazing. I should have taken before and after pictures. My wife just stands and stares at the toilet in disbelief.
😂
The Scotchbrite did it. You didn't have to use a cleaner.
I just spent 5 minutes watching a toilet get cleaned. I need to get a life.
You need to get off your lazy butt and clean that filthy toilet!
Mine's already clean and I'm watching in hopes of making that @#$% easier/less disgusting .....I really need to get a life!
😂
I needed a laugh this morning, and your comment was priceless. Thank You!
Why?
The active ingredient in Santeen toilet bowl cleaner is 20% Hydrochloric Acid. "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner also used to have 20% HCL, but several years ago reduced the strength to 9%... and kept the price the same. Note: you can buy an entire gallon of pool acid, also known as Muriatic Acid, which is the old name for Hydrochloric Acid, for just a few dollars.
Muriatic acid is 31% hydrochloric acid. I use it to clean rust from tools.
@@tahquameken Muriatic Acid is an old name for Hydrochloric Acid. It's not necessarily 31%
I used muriatic acid in the past to remove rust until I discovered that I could get good results with vinegar
@@donjohnson3701 Yup if this lady dumped vinegar down her toilet it would look brand new all the time.
Muriatic Acid is the impure Hydrochloric Acid used to clean brick houses, It is available from building supply companies and is less than 40% pure. Please wear safety glasses to protect your eyes
Ordered from his link, followed exact directions, works extremely fast. I regret not taking before and after pictures.. 10/10 💯 score

That plunger was cleaning the bowl pretty well. Final result is outstanding.
Magic plunger
Who would let their toilet get that grunge and dirty?! I just used vinegar and baking soda, and it fizzes all up and let it stay there for an hour. I cleaned it and worked perfectly as well it's the same for the tank. It does not harm anything. What most people don't talk about is the only reason that you get that gunky, rusty looking build-up in the toilet is because of all the holes underneath the rim are built up with calcium and other gunk. The only way you can get rid of that you have to use a metal clothes hanger end and run it inside and around in the holes to clean out the gunk. Your water will flush a lot better and cleaner. This was a tip from several professional plumbers who have told me. I think I will buy some of that hydrochloric acid and try it out. Thank you for this tip. ❤️
Bar Keeper's Friend works great too. Made in USA and cheap.
Did anyone knotice that the plunger rammer the "hard water stain" away
That’s mold and bacteria. The ring is the hardest part to clean
I'm a cynic and immediately noticed how easily that magical plunger started cleaning that "tough" stain.
The part that the plunger cleaned easily was below the what line so it would clean easy like that. My gripe is he doesn't show how much work he had to put in to cleaning and we all know that this product didn't clean it's self. Not cool.
Yup. What a joke eh?
Yes, it was totally ridiculous. I stopped at that point, to see if anyone else spotted it. I will never view a DIY Plumbing Tom video, again. What a twit!
2:00 Considering the plunger itself cleaned the muck off the toilet bowl... it stands to reason that a toilet brush would have cleaned the muck off as well.
Good catch, sometime we just miss the obvious.
Yeah, I think the toilet was in bad shape for sure but they may have wanted it to look as bad as possible for effect. If I were calling a plumber to work on my toilet I would clean it the best I could.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this video. It helps so much, I am trying to find what product I can buy to remove hard stain in the toilet bowl.
Interesting : Your toilet bowl plunger did a pretty good job just by contacting the sides.
Exactly!! Just a few touches
comercial video
I noticed that too.
wow. i had my toilet replaced because of this, but because our water is soooo hard, the new one looks just this again! Thanks for the tip. I'll look for this product!
Yes I definitely noticed that.
Excellent video! One of the most articulately explaned videos i've seen!
ya, he took the liberty to flush it beforehand
OMG! What a difference! And to think I was going to have my toilet replaced in a week’s time. Thank you so much for this video and for introducing us to this cleaner. Truly fantastic!
Did you use it?
Different toilet
I looked this up eager to try it and found it even cheaper at a hardware store, I have a cleaning gig coming up and I wanna be absolutely sure my work is top notch
Ha, my aunt came in, and filled her water bucket, as I sat on toilet. 😰😨😢 Was that fair? What do you think ??
You're going to blow them away if you clean their calcium build up. Most are completely ignorant of what it is. Good luck!
It really works on hard water stains that cleaners and pumice stones can’t remove. I bought my bottles from Amazon. I did exactly like he said. I checked it after 30 minutes and scrubbed with a toilet brush, then let it sit another 30, then scrubbed again. Most of the stains were gone. So I used a pumice stone and what was left was completely removed. The toilet looks new.
just use a cup of vinegar but leave it overnight, same results but safer. Also a heavy scaled bowl may need a second application
A shop vac works great for draining toilet bowls in preparation for moving. I worked for a tile and flooring company, when we redid the floors in bathrooms we would remove the toilet and put it in the bathtub, then reinstall it when done. Also works great for winterizing hunting cabins, if you leave water in the toilets in winter they will break.
I didn't know that about cabin toilets but it makes sense.
Pool/RV antifreeze in toliets that are "winterized"- keeps sewer gas out as well
@@tomallen7699 isn't that creating massive contamination? Here in my area antifreeze pollution is more frowned upon than homicide
Oh yeah? What about sewer gas? Drain the tank then slowly pour a cup of antifreeze to the bowl right before you leave. Won't freeze or evaporate and you maintain a trap seal.
Why did the "gunk" come off the toilet as soon as it was touched? @0:44 you see the gunk, untouched. @ 2:22 you see how the gunk came off where the plunger touched the toilet. I'm just curious how great this works if the stuff comes off that easily without any product.
I noticed that too. That, and the fact that he never showed the bowl after putting in the product, but before actually scrubbing, makes me suspect the video. I think it's fake.
Good to know..I use TRR with a fluffy ball wand,works good
Thank you so much for sharing this with people. I just got done cleaning two toilets (and the tanks) and a shower with it and was amazed at how well it worked! We live in the country with only well water and despite having a water softener, the build up of lime and rust is so bad.
I have hard water stains in my bathtub. Has anyone tried Santeen on plastic tubs?
So useful to know... thanks!
Sweet! Gonna get me some of that Santeen! Thanks!
It's really work 👏👏👏👏 I'm so happy to get this video. And i learn how to clean my bathroom fast and get a great shining and super clean.
Lysol lime and rust gets the toilet clean. I have well water and I get tiger stripes well use too. Because I’ve been using this they hardly come back. If for some reason it doesn’t get all my use the Clorox toilet bowl cleaner...
Nice video. ONE QUESTION: Is it advisable to use hydrochloric acid in a septic system???? Thank you.
I saw the video and bought the stuff on Amazon for $17.95. Had tough black stains in the toilet bowl fill hole that wouldn't bleach away, simple green, none of the top rated cleaners. Figured a plumber would know the trick. Followed the safety guidelines of glove, ventilation, and goggles. I made a complete dry bowl and trickled in some undiluted Santeen. Waited 1/2 an hour and it completely chipped the spot free of the porcelain! Well done, Tom, thanks!
Well he did say let set for 10 minutes. Pools are cleaned with muratic acid so your comment did not surprise me.
@@gbrowning8813 Not trying to lift your eyebrows, just underscoring a product here.
Is Santeen safe for septic tanks?
@@nampamom I looked it up and your clear to use it.
Will try asap..Will try asap ..thanks
Hi Tom, how much of the cleaner do you use? Do you use the entire bottle per cleaning? Thanks!
I wonder what it does to pipes or environment if it’s that strong? Hmmm...
Citric acid from the grocery store. And put it in the tank too , if stained or the stains will keep coming back.
I did change my toilets because I was tired of fighting with them. But now I see the ring starting to form again…I will try this!
The plunger seemed to do the trick and cleaned the bowl.
That is the woman"s fecal matter stuck to the calcium deposit.
@faison gache hahaha...
Yeah! where can i get that plunger lol
Amazon seems to have this particular item only in bulk, like five bottles for over $60. Anything you can recommend that's the second best for cleaning old, neglected toilets?
Santeen clog remover works fantastic
How about showing the water tank is that also cleaned with the same stuff.?
Have been dealing with high iron content/hard water for 12 years at my cabin. Problem is, those with wells and a septic tank are challenged. Septic tanks can't handle acids being flushed into it. I've used The Works for years and it does a good job. Sateen looks even better, BUT as I must scoop out the cleanser-laden water out of the bowl to avoid it's going into my septic, a high acid based cleaner is a concern (although The Works is caustic as well). Not certain if Sateen is more caustic than The Works?! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
add small amounts of baking soda to counter the acid. Keep adding in pinches so u dont get a lot of foaming. After about a cup or so, it will be safe to flush.
Exactly the info I needed and takes me back to high school chemistry class!
For routine cleaning in hard water areas, use Sno Bol. It's the only one that I've found that works. Because it is a more dilute acid than what you showed, it does take longer to work but, can't be beat for regular use.
Just use a 5-10% bleach mix and a 3% dish-soap mix, and wait 10 minutes...
@@rexeverything4578 - I hesitated on giving out any DIY advice due to the dangers involved. To get rid of hard water marks, you need to use acid. Bleach won't work but, it's great on mold.
@@flick22601 Yes. Some bowl rings are mold and can be removed fairly easily. Hard water build up is something else altogether.
@@rexeverything4578 Bleach? LMFAO

Any tips on cleaning a laundry sink that is yellowing ?its not ceramic its more like a hard plastic ? I think but I cannot get it clean and i've tried everything
Damn. And I just spent hours of time and money on other expensive cleaners that don't fully do the job. All I needed was some of this Santeen stuff (and some Pine-sol when done)! Now I know for the future. 😉👍
Tom I took your advice and bought this cleaner off Amazon. Let me tell you I was AMAZED at great it worked. We have Hard water and it’s very hard to keep the toilets clean. I did as you did and drained the water then poured the cleaner in. I swished it around a little and then on some rust I didn’t notice earlier. The rust turned out to be thick under the rim. This cleaner took care of it easily. I recommend this toilet cleaner to everyone. It’s great. Thank you for the video.
I find very odd ... on Amazon it only has a 1 Star ... meaning it does not hold to it claim ...
@@wapperjaw8282 well it worked great for me. I’ll buy it again.
OMG, I'm pushing 58 and did not know about calcium build up. I have a 15 year old toilet that's looked like crud for 10 years and flushed poorly. I though the porcelain had worn off. Now the toilet looks like new and flushes well. THANKS!
Ew, you nasty
Zep works just as well and no odor. I live in a very hard water area.
I couldn’t help to mention, wearing gloves is great a lot of people don’t where gloves for some reason. But only wearing one glove is not enough. From personal experience, my career involves working with chemicals weekly. I used to only wear one pair, my hands were never exposed or got wet through the gloves. I thought I was safe but the chemicals STILL went through the gloves with no signs or warning and I eventually developed an allergic reaction to these specific chemicals I work with. Confirmed by a doctor! He said If you want to actually protect yourself from chemicals then you really should be wearing 3 pairs of gloves which I have to do now every time I work with ANY chemicals. I learned the hard way and just want to share my horrible experience. People need to be extra careful when handling with any chemicals even natural products surprisingly especially those who are in constant contact to any chemicals like me.
Best rim job I've ever seen
You can also use citric acid. All these acids will do wonders for inside the tank as well. That includes removing the smell.
Even the plunger removed the stain where it was used. Not convinced the stain in this case couldn't just as easily be removed with a brush.
Hydrochloric acid works really well for limescale stains.
I noticed that right away also.
That’s what’s in Santeen
@@suunto61 I think you will find a bottle of hydrochloric or muriatic acid is much cheaper and does the job just as well or even better.
Exactly what I thought immediately. He kinda gave away his secret when the plunger cleaned the so-called calcium buildup. Tricks of the trade, just fake the funk
The plunger EASILY removed the funk in a perfect plunger-shaped circle, so tired of the lies in selling!
Hummm, the plunger cleaned a visible circle when you used it. Looks like most of that would come off with an initial clean without that chemical. Only after that would I use that stuff to get the tough stains out.
Zep works great too!! I got it from Menard's.
Iron out works great
How hard did you scrub though
Muriatic acid works great for this. The same kind you buy for swimming pools.
Does acid harm septic systems ?
Dam this got me excited 😆
Can you pour it in the tank and then flush it to clean the build up in the bowl?
Bad idea, your rubber seals will partially dissolve
Thank you
Is this acid safe on septic systems?
The best thing I ever found was Permatex's Rust Dissolver Gel. It doesn't seem to do crap for rust removal on metal, but works in 5 minutes in the toilet. I even noticed that a Q Tip can brush off the stuff off after soaking. It's thick gel that can be used on the underside of the rim.
Sounds like it's similar to Naval Jelly that also works. 🐀🐾
We have extremely hard water where I live, and the best thing I have found is SOS pads. It takes the hard water stains, right off and doesn’t scratch the porcelain
Is it safe for a ceptic system?
oven cleaner works almost instantly and since it's alkaline does not react with old urine stains. oven cleaner even foams up real nice when you spray it.
it will make even devastated looking toilets fresh white and shiny. just remember to buy a new toilet seat for the complete "new" look
Muriatic Acid at Walmart by the gallon. It is super strong, don't breath the fumes. Pour about 1/4 of it down the overflow tube in the tank close it all up come back in an hour flush a couple times. Can also use Vinegar or the stuff used in the video as well.
Will this work with a septic tank??
Here in England it’s not for sale on Amazon anymore.
The plunger had no problem cleaning it
Why did the plunger actually take away the stain??
you can see the toilet covered with brown stain however as he uses the plunger to empty out some of the water back in to drain channel you notice little of the stain has been cleared off where the plunger made contact in the toilet. He later points out the Santeen cleaned or foamed caused the brown stain to melt away. I did not see in the video any of that. If Santeen was truly melting away the stain you would see a light brown color of water trail running down on the toilet. It's possible the stain could've been wiped off with a soft fabric without possibly any cleaning products. I would be sold on Santeen if a video was continuously recording without any breaks or pull away showing the Santeen melting away the stain no matter how long it might've taken. As long as the product work. It seemed he poured less than a cup of the Santeen in the toilet, it might have not been enough to melt or clean what looks like soda or coffee mixed with flour or powder.
I dropped a couple of denture cleaner tablets in the bowl. It helped loosen things up.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I know it sounds hillarious. But I really did. I figured it works on porcelain coppers, why not give it a try. 😏
Gives new meaning to the term "potty mouth" 🤣 🤣🤣 🤣
I like it. lol
😂 hahaha
Can I use that stuff without draining the toilet bowl water?
A couple of fresh lemons work for cleaning very well
Fortunately for me my toilet doesn't look anything like this one. My main issue is the grime residue where the waste travels down. I have recently discovered that Tidy bowl does help to start removing the grime. Not completely but enough so it doesn't look as bad as before. But I'll still try and find a toilet cleaner that actually works.
Hello Tom :) I have a toilet with Styrofoam inside the tank . It's getting mold inside of it now and l'm on septic here so I need to becareful. How do I clean inside the tank please? God bless you and your loved ones :) :)
Is this product safe to use in septic systems? Specifically the bacteria’s that are needed for the system to operate correctly?
Thanks.
NO, NO, NO!!!!
To use with a septic system, you need to neutralize the acid with baking soda before flushing. Rid-X afterwards will help too.
LOL omg, buying this now!
What about the accumulation in the tank?
Is the acid that's in that troilite bowl cleaner safe for the drain pipes? I had heard that acid can eat through the drain pipes (especially in 90 degree fittings) and cause worse problems.
I imagine that if u flush water down a few times after the acid that it couldnt possibly be a problem
Just stumbled onto ur video searching for solving my toilet staining the bottom. Was going to try & buy this miracle product but the link at Amazon is gone? Where else can I find this? But also I felt my toilet after scrubbing stains like hell & it feels that the toilet porcelain has eroded away??? Now its staining that? is this cleaner clean that or do I have to paint it as other videos showed? I bought the "Bartenders" cleaner after many swore by it since bars use it but still nasty stained. I have been using the solid blue tablets or the half blue & half bleach tablets for years and can only assume that's what caused this. its sadly in both my toilets but hall toilet I save for guests so for any get as flushed do I'm shocked when it stated happening to that w too. it looks like a poop said & a spot like a rusty dime...but bothare not, its definitely not smooth and feels like smooth has been removed and down to hate porcelain. I dont want to spray paint if I can't clean it like this but ur video is not stripped right?
Is Santeen safe for septic tanks?
Is this cleaner septic safe ?
Wow! Thanks for the video and all of the advice. ,' : > )
Amazon and Walmart both only have Santeen in bulk - 6 bottles minimum purchase for $60-ish. Not finding it for sale online anywhere else. Is there really no place to buy a single bottle of Santeen toilet cleaner??
That rubber plunger did a pretty good job cleaning. hmmmmmm
Is that safe for septic systems?
Generally, their is a reason the foreign made products are not approved. For example, what does the Chinese made cleaner do to a septic system?.....david
We're can I buy this product? Thank you
If you don't have poop and pee in your toilet the easiest way to take the water out of the bowl and the tank is a wet or dry shop vacuum. This is what I use when I work on a toilet.
Don't forget to remove your filter 1st! That's what I do as well - gets ALL the water out.
I typically use acid toilet bowl cleaner. How does this compare?
Its the same thing
When it gets really bad, I just spray paint it, quick and easy, favorite one was the metallic gold, I got so many compliments on it, it was by far the cool list one, that’s why I made every guest use the Home Depot bucket! Worst one, by far, the glow in the dark! I don’t even wanna talk about anymore it was that bad of a mess constantly! Working on a crazy one for next week, it’s going to be epic and biblical
Your joking right? Paint doesn't stick to porcelain. It will start to peal off, hope you don't have a septic tank. My wife did this when I wasn't home, and it's been flaking off ever since. I'm just waiting for it to clog our septic tank.
@dr.wyleecoyote1598
😂😂😂 I couldn't help picturing your guests using the glow in the dark bucket! So in this story when anyone uses the bathroom at your house they turn the lights off to use the "toilet" properly and back on when they leave room 😂😂😂
I have my maid do it, works great.
You could of just cleaned it with that plunger. Looked like it cleaned all that brown pretty good when you were trying to get the water out. Just a lite scrubbing with a brush without any cleaner would of cleaned that toilet.
You are so right. I don't know the name of the stone that I have, but it gets rid of any ring that develops..
Just put pure vinegar on a wad of toilet paper and cover the stain. Let it sit over night and next morning flush the paper, and the crud is then easily removed with a brush. If you have a really thick build up you might have to do it twice. Using vinegar to clean the toilet once a week is usually enough to maintain. You can buy cleaning vinegar which is double the strength and works even better, but regular white vinegar works well too. There is no need to buy expensive cleaners, even on the worst build up.
Plus that doesn't put poison into the water system
Nope, I need the ten minute fix I'm afraid. I've tried stuff that you need to leave overnight or whatever and it doesn't work in our house as someone always gets up in the night and goes to use the toilet. I can't even get rid of them during the day and do it then as we've all been here on lockdown!
I believe this or muriatic acid will also clean the flush holes in the rim ?
That product sounds a lot like the Zep acid based one that I use. 😎
I use to use muriatic acid but it’s just too harsh. The vapors will rust any bare metals and even some chrome finishes. It’s hard on lungs too so be careful.
When I installed new commodes, I started using CLR. I drain the bowl, sop up the remainder in the bottom using a rag and squeezing it in a bucket. I get a roll off paper towels and rear off and double fold them. Saturate them in CLR and lay them on the stained areas. Every little bit, I’d pour CLR on the paper towels and press them against the bowl. It takes a little longer than muriatic acid but a heck of a lot safer than muriatic.
The best way to keep stains out of your bowl is to brush them everyday or two. It sucks but will save you money and headaches. I truly believe regular use of acid will eventually eat on the porcelain no matter what brand of commode. When done with paper towels, squeeze them out and toss them. Flush your toilet. Avoid those pumice sticks, they’ll eventually ruin the porcelain finish.,
Don’t forget to brush your bowl every day or two. We have to save our water source and flushing acid down the drain will pose a threat to our future generations.
Where i can get this ?
I would have used the brush to put it up under the rim and then scrubbed it a little after a few minutes to get rid of the rest of the residue that was up under the rim. You could also put a bottle or two in the tank to get it to go through the channels that way it could get rid of the calcium buildup under the rim and in the channels.
Hi what are the ingredients of the product?
Zep works great for about a quarter the price.
The consensus online is that HCL/muriatic acid is bad for septic systems. It can kill good bacteria and actually damage the septic tank as well as the ABS pipes in your house. (It seems like it would take A LOT to be significant.) One suggestion I've seen is to dump a bunch of baking soda in afterwards to return the pH to a more neutral state. Or use a shop vac after to remove the residue from the bowl.
