This worked like a charm!!! Soaked paper towels in regular vinegar and laid them on the mineral ring overnight. Next day removed the paper towels and the ring was GONE! Loved how easy this was!! Great instructions!
I used oven cleaner. First drain water from to let. Then spray to let bowl. Wait a while..dont remember how long I waited. The used green abrasive pad and vavoom.. all clean.
I emptied more than a quart of white distilled vinegar into my toilet bowl. I did not drain the toilet bowl. I'm too lazy! I did, however, line the bowl with toilet paper soaked in white vinegar above the normal water line where there were stain marks. I checked the toilet seven hours later and all of the stains had completely vanished! Even the stains at the bottom of the bowl were removed, and as I stated earlier, I didn't empty the water from the toilet bowl! Also, I did not need to scrub the toilet bowl! My toilet bowl now looks brand new! There was almost no work involved! Thanks for sharing!
But its easy enough just to turn off the water valve on toilet, FLUSH it completely. Use a 1 cup measuring cup scoop and remove as much water as is comfortable (for me I was able to remove 10 cups) and then use a sham-wow (or a small towel) to get the rest of water out. The more water you leave behind it functions to dillute the vinegar and you waste money having to use more Vinegar than you would have used if the water was not there. Im lazy too but we are talking about 3 minutes of work here. If you are Uber-Lazy than just use 600 grit sandpaper, that will get the stains out immediately and effortlessly.
It's incredible how many tons of things you can do with either regular vinegar or with Apple cider vinegar. From mouth rinse, aliviating sore spots, reducing brusing, smelly feet, cleaning your whole house, killing dermatitis, dandruff, insect repellent, and about another thousand applications, and it's so inexpensive! Great tip about getting rid of stains in the toilet.
Vinegar and coconut oil the two miracle things that haven tons of purposes for each oh and baking soda too in fact vinegar baking soda and some dish det with those 3 items you really need no other cleaners ever! Coconut oil is great for wrinkles moisturizer dry hair split ends teeth cleaning takes toxins out of gums cooking with its a good oil one that doesn’t cause blocked arteries, and lots of stuff I’m forgetting or don’t know yet lol vinegar same and baking soda too I could list things and go on and on for each of them!
Thank you! No excess talking, just a quick and to-the-point helpful video. I'm looking forward to getting rid of the hardwater stain in the second bathroom.
Thank you so much for posting this video. Tried everything on our toilet and nothing worked. Found your video, did exactly as you said and our toilet is now sparkling clean. Never would have known to try vinegar! Thanks again for taking the time to post this detailed video!
This really really works !!! The great value cleaning vinegar works just the same . Left it for a couple hours and it looked BRAND NEW , no elbow grease needed
After trying so many other products, this was literally the ONLY thing that worked, not to mention it's so much safer than the alternatives! Thank you so much; as someone who has a girl flying over to visit my apartment soon, you are seriously a lifesaver And man, the cleaning product industry is really trying to swindle us out of our money, huh
Me too. I tried like 6 different products and videos. This is the real vid that worked as close as possible for me and I watched like 20 vids when it comes to the rim cleaning. The stains on my toilet bowl rim were so tough to get out. The higher vinegar concentration helped, but ended up using bleach soaked paper towels around the rim to finally remove the rust/lime. For prevention of buildup around the rim, I poured cleaning vinegar into the toilet tank water fill tube container periodically so the jets will be clean.
did this last night. Left it on for 20 hours. I was going to wait the full 24 but saw some comments here it worked in a fraction of that time. This supremely works. I used regular white vinegar and it lifted everything right down to the porcelain and it’s gleaming clean! Thank you sirrrr
This works! I've done this on two of my four and I'm doing the last two today. Thanks for sharing this! I am tired of my toilets looking nasty, when I have just cleaned them. :)
Awesome - this WORKS! Stains were pretty tough and so far, distilled vinegar did the trick. Toughest ones yet to come, so we shall see. Saved me buying a new toilet. Thanks for sharing this!
Wish I had seen this last year! My coloured toilet pan was so badly stained Ihat I had a new one fitted. Cost me over £1000 as I needed an avocado one and they aren't general stock now as coloured are no longer fashionable! Only one supplier in the UK so no choice. Oh the value of You tube!!
We did this! Our stain was lower - around the water level. It totally worked! We applied the cleaning vinegar as instructed. There was a little light stain that didn’t come out until we used Bar Keepers Friend and scrubbing sponge. But just one application overnight tho was all it took! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
@@charlesroberts3910only use blue pads or finer on porcelain and anything shiny unless you want to deal with scratches causing more problems with hard water and dirt! IDK how many times I've gone into some restroom somewhere where the janitor used a Brillo pad or green pad when they shouldn't have and the sink faucet etc is down to bare metal 🙄
I too, was ready to purchase a new toilet until I found this video. I used regular distilled vinegar because that is what I had at home. I drained the bowl, poured in the vinegar, soaked Viva Paper towels and lined the rim with them then waited 45 minutes. I used an old kitchen dish scrub much like the one in the video and scrubbed with it. The bowl took no effort at all but the hard water stains under the rim took some really hard scrubbing. After 1/2 an hour of scrubbing with the brush the whole toilet is sparkling. Thank you for sharing this amazing video I was going to give up after trying straight bleach and CLR (separately of course) until I tried the vinegar, which I have always used in the Fabric Softener portion of my front loading HE washing machine.
I challenge you to do this at either a Truck stop or gas station toilet....because if it works on those it'll work on ANYTHING you have going on at home!
Today after searching how to turn off the water, pull stop box, I searched for how to clean the toilet and landed here. I already had vinegar because I use it to clean my washing machine. I used a turkey baster, that I may have used once in 15 years, to get the rest of the water out. The loss of the baster will be worth it!😊
My toilet was in much worse shape than yours. For the last year I have been applying elbow grease to my bowl all to no avail. Today I had the brilliant idea to check RUclips. Glad I did! I had the 5% household vinegar on hand and you are right, it works just as well. My hard water stains dissolved in 45 minutes. Bowl looks brand new! Thanks so much for posting. And note to self: Don't waste time on the next puzzling project. Check RUclips first!
Thank you! Finally someone that has something I don't have to purchase additionally & is a safe ingredient that I have around the house! Excellent video...thumbs up and sharing!
I tried this and it WORKS!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 I'm floored and so excited!!!! We were seriously about to replace three 7 year old toilets. They have been a nightmare for years because of our ridiculously hard water, scale and rust stains. I had to leave it over night, and the little stubborn bits left came off with gentle scrubs with a wet pumice stone. Can't believe it. They look brand spankin' new! Thank you, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏😁
thank you! Mine has stains only under the ring, on top of the bawl, as any product stay there for long enough for them to actually work. I'll try your idea of soaked toilet paper!
I dont know about the toilet parts soaking in vinegar....that rubber bulb or whatever its called. Maybe for a short time but I wouldnt think it would be good for soaking in it for a long time.
I can't believe it worked!! Placing paper towels soaked with vinegar around the toilet ring did wonders to "loosen" the stains. It took a lot of elbow grease and the use of a pumice stone to get it off. Some of the stains in the tiny holes around the toilet ring is harder to scrub off. After soaking so small pieces of toilet paper with vinegar and sticking it in the hole has worked wonders for the stains. I'm confident it will all come off soon. I can't thank you enough for this tutorial!!
My son’s toilet was way worse than the toilet in the video. I couldn’t get rid of those caked on stains. I tried this method and I still can’t believe this method really worked. The key is to leave it to soak for a whole day, if needed. The toilet looks better than when we bought the house. Thanks!
Thank you soon much for this demonstration I just tried this technique and it works. I was amazed at the results. I let the the vinegar sit for about 12 hours. The bowl looks like new. I had been using Ajax and a lot of elbow grease and could not get the results that I have gotten with your demonstration. Thank you
Thanks for this, I need to stock up on vinegar, I think! I hate water stains, and the previous tenants have been lazy about keep the bathroom porcelain stuff clean.
It worked! Thank you very much. In addition to the low cost of an empty spray bottle and we always have very low cost household use vinegar. I did it in the afternoon and then didn't scrub it off until the following morning. Since we have several toilets the longer time may have helped for any one that tried it and it didn't work the first time.
I just moved into a apartment a few months ago. And I just couldn't get those hard water stains out of my toilet, thank you so much, for the vinegar trick!! 😁
I tried this and I have a new toilet! I didn't get the water out of the toilet tho. I added 4 containers of regular white vinegar and let it set overnight. My store didn't have cleaning vinegar but it worked very well. Thanks for the video
This has bugged me for years. Also its crazy how i just subscribed and you have a cleaning related tip on a bicycle tips channel. I'll be watching many of your videos to see what other surprises you have :)
Thank you!!!! I never knew there was such a thing as cleaning vinegar, but found it without any probs (I'm in Australia). I basically ladled out as much water as I could then followed your advice. Worked! Mine soaked a couple of hrs. V happy!!!!!
Thanks, this worked. Was about to buy toilet cleaner, but glad I followed this. In my case, I just used apple cider vinegar since that's what we had, and I let it sit for 30 min. After 30 min, most of the hardwater stains were coming off. The rest, I just scrubbed off. Our toilet is as white as new now.
Looks really good. I can't believe how easily you made this look. I wish you were in my family and lived close, because I sure a job much worse than what you started with.
Oh my!!! Thanksgiving is at my house this year and I am so embarrassed with our stained toilet. I was gonna go buy a new bowl and hire someone to come replace it. I think I will try this first. Thank you.
11 million views ! I have hard water and keep threatening to install a water softener... so I am trying this method of cleaning as I write this . Toilet isn't real stained but I have a hard water ring that is hard to keep away at the water line (newer $500 toilet) and some light staining on the upper sides . So while toilet was freshly drained and just a little wet I placed thin 3 or so layers of TP on the sides . Then I put vinegar in a windex bottle , put in on "stream" and have sprayed the toilet paper twice now . Will keep it wet for a few hours and see what happens ! Thanks for for the video !
This was good. I use Allen's double clean vinegar, leave for an hour if need be, and then us scrubbing brush. Also use it to clean dishwasher on pots and pans cycle followed by a hand full of backing soda on pots and pans cycle.
The secret is coating the porcelain with porcelain tile sealer, and using a polish, or wax to coat the tile sealer. Porcelain is porous. So the gunk get trapped in the pores. Seal the pores, problem solved. Makes cleaning in general a LOT easier! If you have car polish. It will work by itself. I used car polish to see if it would work by itself. Coated the bowl first week of February. It is now May 12. Still working.
I had two toilets with very heavy stain buildup in the bottom of the bowls. I had a gallon of muriatic acid in my garage for about 20 years. On advice from a plumber friend, I poured half of it in each toilet, waited 1/2 hour and flushed both toilets. Totally gone stains, like magic. So I got rid of both stains, and the acid. It doesn't hurt the toilet surface at all. But the acid smells like rotten eggs times 1000. Then again, the vinegar smells too, but is safer.
The new way to do this. Take all the water out as he did. In a spray bottle mix equal parts heated up vinegar with equal parts DAWN dish soap. The Dawn keeps the vinegar where you sprayed it. Leave a couple of hour and if it doesn’t come loose just scrub with FINE wall paper Sanding screen. This solution, minus sanding, works great on showers and tubs. I owned rental for 21 years and did all the maintenance and cleaning when tenants moved.
Standard vinegar white of brown also works on hard water deposits on any surface that is visible, chrome fixtures, shower glass, porcelain tiles etc. If you Mr Coffee is getting slow to brew it is because the hard water minerals have coated the boil chamber inside and act as a thermal insulator. Run a half a pot of pure vinegar through the brew cycle several times up to 10 times and then carefully rinse the water holder tank (don't get electrical parts wet), basket and glass pot out, then brew several pots of plain water. Your machine will work like new. Remember never put cold water on a hot glass decanter. Use hot water first with a fast rinsing motion and work the temperature cooler until cold.
Of course, vinegar is cheap, but I use a BWT water softener pad in my Britta filter pitcher for coffee water, and can go months without having much buildup. It exchanges the Calcium with Magnesium, which is much less likely to stick. Folks with hard water need to run vinegar through every week, TBH. I've seen big Bunn units need a whole day of cleaning to descale. Easier to maintain if they never get scaled up in the first place, however you accomplish the task.
Drinking a little Braggs apple cider vinegar in water first thing in the AM has the same effect on the GI tract; scrubs away all the gunk and slime. White vinegar is also good for removing cooking smells. Just boil up some with a little water and house smells clean and fresh as a daisy after the vinegar smell dissipates, say in about half an hour.
what is nice bout vin is the fumes dont drive you out //how is baking soda with a wad of tp to scrup and a spray bottle for the vingear in stead of the direct pour
Here's a neat trick. Heat about 2 cups of vinegar to the boil then add a heaping tbsp. of corn starch and mix thoroughly. As it cools it thickens. When applied it stays in place longer.
I had that nasty smell in my old well, which was about 50 years old. It wasn't very deep though, maybe only 50 feet or so. So finally I had enough money to drill a well down to 185' and now I finally have good water after 30 years! It has a tiny bit of iron, and is only a little bit hard, but it smells good and tastes good!
This is really works. If the brush is strong enough to clean the stain, use coin to scratch. Now my toilet bowl is clean like new.Thank u so much for sharing this video.
On a separate note, vinegar can also be used as a natural weed killer. Mix 1 gallon of vinegar with 1 cup of salt and a tablespoon of liquid dish soap into a container and then pour into a spray bottle, or a pump sprayer. I bought a pump sprayer at Home Depot that holds a gallon of liquid, for $10. I sprayed the crab grass growing around some brick posts in my front yard which were initially green and the next day they turned yellow and were dried out. So, clean your toilets and clean your weeds! Lol. 👍🏽
Wow. Love it, I recently bought a house and was closed for almost 2 years and one of the toilet are like that, I try everything to remove the hard water but unfortunately nothing work. Thanks... I will try today with Vinegar...Runing to the store right now...yeah!!
Use vinegar to make your bathroom and sink faucets look like new. I put undiluted vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it, let it sit and wipe it clean. To remove hard water off of shower head I put vinegar in a sandwich baggie and rubberband it to the shower head. Let it sit for an hour or so and wipe it off.
Great idea! I’ve been looking for a way to do it without bleach. I have a question though. Why not just turn the water off and flush the toilet to empty the bowl?
So thankful you responded. I just recieved your three emails a few minutes ago. Haven't tried the muriatic yet. I mixed up manganese for magnesium(I knew I shld hv cked...). There is scaling around the rim of my sink faucet that looks like the run of the mill limestone. My ground here in Eden Isles subdiv.(Slidell) is clay. Below that we have salt and sulphur domes and deposits all over Louisiana. We have that good ol' hydrogen sulfide egg smell. You can NOT use more than 2 teaspoons... Pt2.
Vinegar for the win! Yessss. Thankyouuu. I love the soaking tp tip, so good! Can't wait to try this. Lol ... who gets excited to clean their toilette...? Actually I love cleaning when I know it will work !
That bowl was looking pretty good to begin with! LOL! I've been scraping scale out of my bowl which is easily 1/32" thick, for a few days now, in stages. Barmen's Friend is no match for my schelack. It's so gross! Thanks for the tip on the cleaning strength vinaigre. Didn't even know there was such a thing.
This worked like a charm!!! Soaked paper towels in regular vinegar and laid them on the mineral ring overnight. Next day removed the paper towels and the ring was GONE! Loved how easy this was!! Great instructions!
I used oven cleaner. First drain water from to let. Then spray to let bowl. Wait a while..dont remember how long I waited. The used green abrasive pad and vavoom.. all clean.
Why do people have to make rude comments? if you don't like something just leave. Thank you for your demonstration it was helpful.

I agree!
I emptied more than a quart of white distilled vinegar into my toilet bowl. I did not drain the toilet bowl. I'm too lazy! I did, however, line the bowl with toilet paper soaked in white vinegar above the normal water line where there were stain marks.

But its easy enough just to turn off the water valve on toilet, FLUSH it completely. Use a 1 cup measuring cup scoop and remove as much water as is comfortable (for me I was able to remove 10 cups) and then use a sham-wow (or a small towel) to get the rest of water out. The more water you leave behind it functions to dillute the vinegar and you waste money having to use more Vinegar than you would have used if the water was not there. Im lazy too but we are talking about 3 minutes of work here. If you are Uber-Lazy than just use 600 grit sandpaper, that will get the stains out immediately and effortlessly.
can i use paper towels instead of toilet paper?
Alexander B dont hate - but does this remove BAD rust stains like we have in our toilet 🚽 up north WISCONSIN. ... it’s baaaaaad !

The secret is coating the porcelain with porcelain tile sealer, and using a polish, or wax to coat the tile sealer. Porcelain is porous. So the gunk get trapped in the pores. Seal the pores, problem solved. Makes cleaning in general a LOT easier! If you have car polish. It will work by itself. I used car polish to see if it would work by itself. Coated the bowl first week of February. It is now May 12. Still working.
OMG, I found this video on google and thought your voice sounded familiar! everything I know about bikes is because of you! thanks!
The man does it all!
I had two toilets with very heavy stain buildup in the bottom of the bowls. I had a gallon of muriatic acid in my garage for about 20 years. On advice from a plumber friend, I poured half of it in each toilet, waited 1/2 hour and flushed both toilets. Totally gone stains, like magic. So I got rid of both stains, and the acid. It doesn't hurt the toilet surface at all. But the acid smells like rotten eggs times 1000. Then again, the vinegar smells too, but is safer.
Thank you 😊
Thank you I needed this
The new way to do this. Take all the water out as he did. In a spray bottle mix equal parts heated up vinegar with equal parts DAWN dish soap. The Dawn keeps the vinegar where you sprayed it. Leave a couple of hour and if it doesn’t come loose just scrub with FINE wall paper Sanding screen. This solution, minus sanding, works great on showers and tubs. I owned rental for 21 years and did all the maintenance and cleaning when tenants moved.
Standard vinegar white of brown also works on hard water deposits on any surface that is visible, chrome fixtures, shower glass, porcelain tiles etc. If you Mr Coffee is getting slow to brew it is because the hard water minerals have coated the boil chamber inside and act as a thermal insulator.
Run a half a pot of pure vinegar through the brew cycle several times up to 10 times and then carefully rinse the water holder tank (don't get electrical parts wet), basket and glass pot out, then brew several pots of plain water. Your machine will work like new. Remember never put cold water on a hot glass decanter. Use hot water first with a fast rinsing motion and work the temperature cooler until cold.
Of course, vinegar is cheap, but I use a BWT water softener pad in my Britta filter pitcher for coffee water, and can go months without having much buildup. It exchanges the Calcium with Magnesium, which is much less likely to stick. Folks with hard water need to run vinegar through every week, TBH. I've seen big Bunn units need a whole day of cleaning to descale. Easier to maintain if they never get scaled up in the first place, however you accomplish the task.
Amazing and Easy Toilet Cleaning tip.👍
Great clip. Thanks a million. Will try on my toilet.
Drinking a little Braggs apple cider vinegar in water first thing in the AM has the same effect on the GI tract; scrubs away all the gunk and slime. White vinegar is also good for removing cooking smells. Just boil up some with a little water and house smells clean and fresh as a daisy after the vinegar smell dissipates, say in about half an hour.
Great idea!
what is nice bout vin is the fumes dont drive you out //how is baking soda with a wad of tp to scrup and a spray bottle for the vingear in stead of the direct pour
Right to the point. I like that. Great idea to remove water from the toilet with a plunger. Thanks.
Here's a neat trick. Heat about 2 cups of vinegar to the boil then add a heaping tbsp. of corn starch and mix thoroughly. As it cools it thickens. When applied it stays in place longer.
Wait.... I never expected you sharing this video, this is exactly I want
I had that nasty smell in my old well, which was about 50 years old. It wasn't very deep though, maybe only 50 feet or so. So finally I had enough money to drill a well down to 185' and now I finally have good water after 30 years! It has a tiny bit of iron, and is only a little bit hard, but it smells good and tastes good!
YMMV. I've seen just the opposite happen, but you really don't know until you sink the well.
Will be trying this method for sure...thanx for posting the video...
Mate you save my life. Will try with the toilet bowl in my newly rented place.
This is really works. If the brush is strong enough to clean the stain, use coin to scratch. Now my toilet bowl is clean like new.Thank u so much for sharing this video.
On a separate note, vinegar can also be used as a natural weed killer. Mix 1 gallon of vinegar with 1 cup of salt and a tablespoon of liquid dish soap into a container and then pour into a spray bottle, or a pump sprayer. I bought a pump sprayer at Home Depot that holds a gallon of liquid, for $10. I sprayed the crab grass growing around some brick posts in my front yard which were initially green and the next day they turned yellow and were dried out. So, clean your toilets and clean your weeds! Lol. 👍🏽
Wow. Love it, I recently bought a house and was closed for almost 2 years and one of the toilet are like that, I try everything to remove the hard water but unfortunately nothing work. Thanks... I will try today with Vinegar...Runing to the store right now...yeah!!
Let me know how it goes.
Did it work?
Thank you. Great info, perfect presentation!!
You are GREAT! Thanks for sharing.
Its worked i tryed it yesterday ! Thanks soooo much and bless u!
Thank you for the video. How to remove yellow stains on the tiles of bathroom walls ? Please help!
try a banana peel
Thank you for sharing this video. I will try this out!
Use vinegar to make your bathroom and sink faucets look like new. I put undiluted vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it, let it sit and wipe it clean. To remove hard water off of shower head I put vinegar in a sandwich baggie and rubberband it to the shower head. Let it sit for an hour or so and wipe it off.
Oh my gosh! You are the best! Come over and do my toilet! Ha ha ha. I will forever know you as RJ the toilet guy! Ha ha ha
LOL!
I look back and cringe a bit. My editing is much better now. Check out something more current like this one: ruclips.net/video/bxy6hdUOrlc/видео.html
@@RJTheBikeGuy a little x,, a l zittle
doesn't look like mineral stains. excellent! Would rather hire you to do it than do it myself.
didn't you search this to remove YOUR stains? oof
Great idea! I’ve been looking for a way to do it without bleach. I have a question though. Why not just turn the water off and flush the toilet to empty the bowl?
thank you! tried many things before this that didn't work. this was so easy. :)
Thanks for sharing it's very helpful really appreciated !!!
You can also use Lemon Juice. You can buy a quart at your dollar store. Works just as well
yes, it's acidic just like vinegar
you are amazing its like magic the stains removed you are a genius it looks as good as new problem solved Many Thanks
Bruh my toilet make that same noise when I flush it. We're destined to be friends
Many companies made toilets like this with open rims.
American Standard
Briggs
Mancesa
WC
Fanaloza
Crane
Universal Rundle
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations what about Kohler
@@windowsthecoolguyjr4769 Kohler toilets have a closed rim with little holes in it. It makes a better flush.

@@windowsthecoolguyjr4769 WC is the abbreviation for water closet. It is also a company that made toilets in the 90s.
I use a pumice stone I bought from lowes. No chemicals required.
gReat job. I used the cleaning vinegar and baking soda. it worked pretty well but I didn't plunge out the water first .
So thankful you responded. I just recieved your three emails a few minutes ago. Haven't tried the muriatic yet. I mixed up manganese for magnesium(I knew I shld hv cked...). There is scaling around the rim of my sink faucet that looks like the run of the mill limestone. My ground here in Eden Isles subdiv.(Slidell) is clay. Below that we have salt and sulphur domes and deposits all over Louisiana. We have that good ol' hydrogen sulfide egg smell. You can NOT use more than 2 teaspoons... Pt2.
Vinegar for the win! Yessss. Thankyouuu. I love the soaking tp tip, so good! Can't wait to try this. Lol ... who gets excited to clean their toilette...? Actually I love cleaning when I know it will work !
oh its good to know, i have one video, simple and easy you only need a banana peel
I have followed your advice and leaving the vinegar to soak for a few hours. Hoping this works.
That bowl was looking pretty good to begin with! LOL! I've been scraping scale out of my bowl which is easily 1/32" thick, for a few days now, in stages. Barmen's Friend is no match for my schelack. It's so gross! Thanks for the tip on the cleaning strength vinaigre. Didn't even know there was such a thing.
I had already been scrubbing on the thing before this. Regular vinegar will work too. The cleaning strength one is just a little stronger.
The Works, best toilet cleaner ever.
