Wow, amazing no scrubbing 🥰 subscribed gonna use your links!
Bleach is cheaper, and would kill all that black mold you were inhaling. 🤯
@@nancymcmonarch Bleach doesn’t work the same.
@@GrillThisSmokeThat Obviously not. Bleach would have killed all the mold spores, and that did not happen here, even despite the messy, time-consuming rag procedure. It's clear this channel exists only to advertise needless products and rake in affiliate dollars from Amazon. BIG FAIL.
I used the product Iron Out and followed the instructions on the bottle. I didn’t do any emptying the tank or adding hot water.
Before going to bed at night, I raised the water level above the stain line, poured in a half cup of Iron Out into the existing cold water and let it sit overnight. In the morning the tank was lily white.
As a plumber:
1. First ventilate the room when cleaning.
2. Bleach and scrub first to get the mold out. Those spots on the refill tube and top of the fill valve is mold. I have seen tanks filled with it.
3. Pouring hot water in a cold tank can crack it due to the sudden huge temperature change.
4. New toilets come with cheap coated steel bolts that rust out. Use the old brass bolts or buy new along with good quality black laminated washers. Throw away those cheap white washers that come with the tank. They disintegrate.
5. Put rubber washer on bolt through tank. Underneath put metal washer and nut to seal the tank. Then put the tank onto the bowl and you only need enough tightening so the tank to bowl gasket does not leak. Less stress on the tank.
Then put something solid between the tank and wall to support it when people sit and lean back. Less stress on the tank to bowl connection.
Edit. A couple people asked for any more advice. The float ball in this video is rubbing on the side, so the rod needs to be adjusted or turn the entire fill valve.
That particular fill valve is a Mansfield 08. If you set the water level close to specifications at about 1/2" below the top of the overflow pipe, the rubber diaphragm will wear in, and the water level will sometimes endlessly dump into the overflow and never dhut off. Huge water bill. Set the level at 1 inch, and check it until it settles in.
When cleaning the tank, you can pull out the refill tube and use it to hose down the bottom and sides to flush out the crud.
Always wear gloves because there is mold and bacteria floating around in there.
Different subject, when leaving the house for an extended period, even for the weekend, turn the water off at the water meter or wherever it enters the house. If a pipe, water heater, toilet, etc., leaks, then the only water comes from what is in that pope or fixture. No continuous source of water to run for days, weeks, or months while you are away. You come home to a destroyed house and huge water bill.
Thanks for the tips.
Appreciate your advice
Appreciate the advice. Anything to add or change if you are renting an apartment?
Wish I'd seen your comment earlier. Just split the tank...in a one bathroom house.
Thank You!...I was about to pour boiling water cause I thought it would be better than the hot water he said in the video. Glad I saw your comment.
I cannot believe I've lived in the countryside on well water with lime and rust stains for over 20 years, yet no one, not one single neighbor or friend, ever mentioned this great tip! Thanks so very much!
Let me know how it goes on your stains!
Check the plumbers tips on comments. He gave numerous tips. One is adding hot water to tank can crack it - temperature change. I think you can do the same with baking soda and vinegar.
I use cup of white vinegar, tsp Dawn and tablespoon of baking soda. Add to drained tank leave in overnight. It completely cleans the toliet tank. No scrubbing.
Vinegar and baking soda cancel each other though.
@@flimflam2 ,wrong vinegar with baking soda in the water they activate each other’s and the millions bubbles act as a cleaner. You can even drink too this mix BS with water and add vinegar. When the reaction start (bibles)try to drink that and it will clean your blockage in the stomach and help you burping and you will feel millions time better. Nothing can be more organic cleaner for human stomach,intestines. This is very old home made remedies. Baking soda and vinegar it’s use in so many other way for cleaning…so again NO those 2 do not cancel each other’s.
I will try this. I don't Want to buy something I won't use too often
But I do have these things in
@@gabrielakerekes5844 Yes, the bubbles are carbon dioxide (CO2). Vinegar solution (acetic acid in water (H2O))+baking soda (sodium bicarb NaHCO3) would give sodium hydroxide, carbon dioxide, H2O and carbonic acid....I believe recalling from chemistry days in the past.
You can add 2 parts of vinegar and one part baking soda to your sink to unclog your sink and it is safer than other corrosive agents on the market because those agents would also corrode your metallic pipes such copper pipes, brass fitting and iron pipes.
Yes, you can also drink baking soda because as a basic compound it reacts with HCl (hydrochloric acid in the stomach) to neutralize it if you have heartburn, acid reflux and stomach upset, etc.
Yes, it does.
My toilet cleaning tip: If you have stains right under the inside rim of your toilet that are hard to scrub and really caked on there, take some toilet paper and dunk it in a tupper ware of white vinegar and then squeeze out most of the vinegar so its just wet and stick it to the inside rim under the toilet boil ring. The moisture will help it cling to the side of the toilet. I let it sit there for like an hour and the stains are gone. You can basically just flush the toilet when your done to clean up the tp.
Nice idea!
great idea
Finally found the answer I was looking for. After watching numerous toilet bowl videos of how to normally clean toilet bowl.
CLR has provided minimal help in any application I've used it for. Saw a video testing CLR vs. white vinegar to remove the rust from badly rusted pliers, so rusted they would not even open. After soaking all night---the tester used a wire brush to clean off any residual rust. The vinegar did a perfect job, the CLR, even after hard scrubbing, left behind a great deal of rust. No contest, the plain old vinegar did a wonderful job. Plus, given the price difference between the two, why would anyone bother with the chemicals? Thanks for your great demonstration---Not only invaluable information, but you never bored us by showing every tiny step---your video was paced really well and that is so appreciated.
Toilet cleaner
We saw this vid & thought”well ok!”!Ordered a bottle,it arrived & we followed the process.
I was about to leave a snarky”all it did was leave a blueish coating inside the tank”comment,when,next day,I checked again.The blue film is gone & the tank very clean!!
Wow!!
Thanks for posting the vid.
I’m glad it worked for you too! No snarky comments allowed! Haha.

Yeah .. "The Works" will melt iron stains and dissolve the rust away .. it states that it is safe for septic systems right on the bottle .. been using it for years and highly recommend it 👍
It works so well!
Be careful when using hot tap water in your toilet tank. Mine cracked after I poured the hot tap water. I ended up installing a new toilet bowl and tank.
Thanks! Just learned something…👍
@@luzvimindacruz3982 Any idea what Temperature your Water Heater is running at? Understand the average is like 140F... With various sources and DOE recommending people turn that down to 120F (49C) to save energy.
Suppose various factors are at play. Water/Tank might be 55F-Room Temp(70F?) and a quick "shock" of lukewarm water (105-115F) might be an issue. No doubt Boiling Water (212F/100F) is asking for trouble.
I use WORKS in bowl. Never thought of putting in tank.
Thanks for that tip.
Moving to a rental house.
Bathroom needs alot TLC.
Stay safe
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Thanks so much for your video that popped up randomly today! Can't wait to try it. I have well water with a lot of iron silt and my tank looks just like this.
Yes! You are going to love it!
Worked great! My tank was black and it looks beautiful now. Thanks for the helpful video. It was very simple and I got awesome results. Tomorrow I’ll tackle the other bathroom
You’re welcome!
Many thanks! Really useful stuff 😊
You were right, I’m amazed when you’re done! I pet sit about 25 weeks a year. Since the toilet isn’t being flushed it can get funky back there!
Yes! So was I!
Great Video, sir!👍🏽
Love the chapter chops in the video. Wish more content makers would learn this VERY useful method.
Thank you. It’s a somewhat newer feature. I do my best to add them when I have time.
Thanks for the tips, I love cleaning suggestions. So Easy to understand this when I see you do it.
Great! I’m glad you found it helpful!
Just did this! Wow, what a big difference! Man our toilet was completely caked! Now it’s all clear… amazing, thanks ! 🚽
That’s great!
I just cleaned my toilet tank today! I did exactly what you recommended and was shocked that it looks so great now. Thank you so much for your advice. I will now start using the Rust Out to keep the stains out of my tank!
My pleasure. I’m glad it worked for you too. Don’t do this regularly though, only as needed.
great. Thanks so much...very helpful!!!
This worked wonders. You sir are a genius.
This is a set it and forget hack!!!!
I have tried all kinds of tips. This one worked!!!
Woke my Husband up to tell him how much I loved this.
Same here! Nothing else worked!
This is the second one for the basement bat. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great
We bought our house in 2020 and all three toilets over time went from pristine white with standard, regular cleaning to...red/brown/black stains. We have well water and after enough googling I realized it was build up of minerals over time. We know our water is high in manganese. I picked up your recommendation and let it sit over night. While I totally skipped the warm water part, it cleared up 90% of what was in the tank minus a little debris at the edges. Awesome video, extremely helpful, this did exactly what it needed to do. Thanks!
That’s great!
Will try thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you! The Iron OUT began to work as soon as I poured it in! I was satisfied after 20 minutes.
Lisa Anderson That’s great!
Baking Soda too.
Before I start, I give the toilet tank water a swirl with the brush to suspend the grit on the bottom, making dirty water and flushing 2x's, you are then starting without the settlement on the tank bottom or in the bowl and just attacking the stained sides with the cleaner.
I am going to try this. Thanks.
Very good. I will try it thank you
This worked fantastic for me! Twenty years of brown buildup gone in a couple of hours.
That’s great!
Great tip. Thank you.
What a great idea! Thanks.
IMPRESSIVE! OUT AND THIS VIDEO REALLY WORKED! THANKS TIGHTWADDIY
Did you use bleach?? My sound was not working.
That is so fantastic 👏. The first thing I tell anyone about their toilets are the tanks 😀. Don't worry too much about the bowl, but to always check the tank and clean it
Love it how u dont have to scrub and its genius how u use towels on top nice
Works so good!
Out White Brite worked amazing. Thanks for the helpful video. Next time I will fill it passed the water line to clean that part up.
Nice job!
Need to try this, Thanks
I"ve used Iron Out on the interior of my dishwasher too. Just fill the soap dispenser with then Iron Out and run through a regular cycle. It comes out fabulously! Iron, hard water stains gone!
I use lime out when it’s bad, but if you drop a couple of denture cleaning tabs in the tank, it works wonders. And you don’t have to drain the tank or add hot water.
I’ll have to try that.
denture tablets also clean diamonds and sterling silver jewelry.. THAT WORKS!!!
Thanks for the info--I will see if I can try the denture tablets too to see what they do. Do you know if the tablets will clean out the stains or whatever that gets in the rim part of the bowl (the rim part where the water runs down from the tank into the toilet bowl)?
Thank you for this useful information. I can’t wait to try this to prolong the life of our toilets.
I don’t think it will prolong the life of the toilet but will help keep the bowl cleaner.
GREAT hack....well done
Thank you for a great idea for cleaning toilet!
So this must be why my basement toilet water was iron-y when I first flushed after not using it for probably many months. Never thought to routinely flush it or better yet, clean the tank. Mine must be filthy. Thanks!

One cup vinegar, half cup baking soda and tablespoon of dawn. Let it sit a couple of hours then lightly brush and flush with hot water about 3 times. This works for me. We lived out in country we had our own septic . This method wirk really well 👌
Superb with a simple procedure. Well done.
Thank you!
Thanks Budby, Got it , Love from Persian kid of Minnesota, Stay Safe !!
Wow! That's a new one on me works 100% better than other stuff i tried.Thanks for sharing that was amazing!

Thank you live n learn👍
I've used Milliard citric acid (powder) from amazon that I initially used to clean my humidifier.
Thank you for your help!! I'll get some of the product at Walmart. My toilet is very filthy with old tabacco smoke too. I will try to use this to clean the toilet and perhaps it will clean it out! Lynn
Let me know how it works in the bowl. Don’t put any warm water in the bowl though.
Looks good
If the toilet is close enough to your shower and if you have a handheld shower, you can easily hold the shower wand over the tank or toilet bowl and spray in hot water. I use this method and it works very well for me.
Valerie - Genius!
Great idea!
Excellent Video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
OK, I just tried this. Game changer! I will have to do this on a regular (maybe 6 month) basis as our water is extremely hard and this tank had years of deposits. I should have taken before and after photos, but I guess I was embarrassed. :-). Now I am trying it on the hard water deposits in the bowl.
For the bowl you can scrub with a pumice stone.
You’re my kind of man...one that loves a clean toilet like me...lol
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Excellent idea! Bavo!!❤🙏👍
Glad you like it!
Just a word of caution!!! Towels will wick water, so keep and eye on the towels if you lay them over the tank like shown in this video. You could end up with a bunch of water on your bathroom floor. The towels will actual wick the water up out of the tank and the water will be pulled over the top and then drip onto your floor. You may not think this would happen but trust me it will. So if you do this leave the towels there, let's say over night while you sleep, when you come in to check on it, you could find half the water from the tank on your bathroom floor. Yes the towels will stop wicking when the water level in the tank drops below the reach of the towels, but this can still end up being a lot of water and your floor can be very slippery. Just be cautious and know that wicking is a thing that can happen. I have left towels in a 5 gallon bucket of water and ended up with 4 gallons of water on the floor.
You speak the truth!

I've always just left water on,used water already in tank. Works just fine. My tank was dark brown, looks new after Iron Out.
I like your way better, easier and less effort are always better 👍
Thank you I will try your way.
Awesome job thank you for sharing
I’m glad you found it helpful
Thanks for ur Tips bro 👌
Amazed and happy to know that my ceramic flush tanks can be cleaned on the inside!! Please tell us if the plastic siphon and pipes inside, or the metal screws inside (ours are brass) whether they are safe from the aggressive bleaching effects of the product used here
Absolutely, and the brass ones are better off than steel.
So glad to find this video , worrying a bout my water tank was causing me to lose sleep . Now I am thinking of getting a glass lid to show off my float valve.
You should paint it red!
OH, THAT IS SO FUNNNNY..:''')
That's a tad OCD don't you think?
Funny.... there's never a shortage of "WTH" on YT
As others may have noted, it is a variety of things that can cause the discoloration. One is mold, another is bacteria...May not harm the toilet but I wouldnt want to leave that grow for so many years for possible health reasons. Also, its just nice to see a sparking white tank!
Thanks.
Thanks 😊 very much. Can't wait to try this. I ordered from Amazon thru your site! Thanks again! 😀
Great! Thank you!
qp
Did you clean white fill tube and fill valve too on the toilet? In the video they appeared to have either rust or mold on them.
I used my steamer - something called a costway steamer to get the other stains. Good idea using the Out product!
PppPpp 👍

Awesome gonna try. Sick of rust stains. Tried this and that. Some difference but not like what just saw. Gonna try
THANKS
Great!
Lol that tank looks just like my 3 toilet tanks. I have never cleaned them in nearly 18 years. The tank guts have never been replaced (i have soft water) and the guts stayed operable all these years. As a result, i never gave any notice to the tanks. I got the iron removal tablets and put them in about 3 weeks ago. It is working but when the tablet finally disolves, I will get in there and do a more thorough cleaning. It helps the bowl stay cleaner and flushes betters I have noticed as the rust memoval does it's thing. Thanks for the video !!
Haha. It’s funny how it doesn’t bother us until we look!
Can we use it in the water line which is blocked due to hard water? Will it affect the joint fixtures leak?is it an acid?
My mother used to clean the tank once a week when she cleaned the toilet bowl with whatever she used in the toilet bowl and it never got to this stage of dirty or rusty, always spotless. However, she wasn't the type of mom that taught me anything because "she could do it faster" she had no patience to teach so I didn't find this out until I was in my 30's or 40's.
I’ve never known someone who cleaned the tank regularly!
@@TightWadDIY Nobody does! My mother is a different breed! She is 91 and still mows her own lawn! You know because nobody can do it right. LOL
@@passionateherbs8183 that’s awesome! I predict I’ll be the same way! Haha.
@@passionateherbs8183 Hey Passionate Herbs. God Bless your mom! Mowing her own lawn is what is keeping her going strong @ 91. May she stay that strong for another twenty years!🕊🙏
Thank You
Big difference for sure on this ........ looks great ~
Thanks! I agree.
Try a little of everything on cleaning a small section of the tank . I was going to use scrubbing bubbles tub and tile cleaner . Haven't done it yet mine is dark brown to a close black .

Great tip!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much. Awesome. I appreciate it.
My pleasure!
That was AMAZING!!!! Since I'm sensitive to chemicals, I used Biokleen's "Oxygen Bleach Plus" (oxygen bleach is not bleach and is septic safe too) and it worked AMAZINGLY!!!! My toilet tank wasn't as dirty, but the water turned BLACK. I couldn't believe it! Thank you so much for this wonderful hack!!!!
I’ve used other biokleen products so I need to check that one out. I hate bleach.
I was pretty skeptical this would work but gave it a try anyways. Up to the fill line was totally black when I tried his idea. The tank has not been cleaned in over 10 years. It worked!!! Granted I had to perform very minor scrubbing to remove the light film at certain spots after the initial clean. Now looks like a new tank. Thank you. Only issue was I did it early in the morning while wife was asleep but she had to go do her business and got a whiff of the chemical smell even though I was venting it. Lets just say she got rather upset. I kind of didn't tell her I was going to do it.
Haha. Secrets will always get you in trouble! I’m glad it worked though.
When you did the light scrubbing was it messing up inside the tank at all (destroying or wearing away the inner part of the tank)? I found when I was scrubbing a little bit inside the tank one day that it seemed like part of the inside of the tank was being destroyed or wearing away and stopped scrubbing immediately inside the tank after I saw what looked like inside of the tank was being destroyed or wearing away. I hope I can scrub inside the tank again and hopefully get the same results you saw after scrubbing. I HATE hopeless situations--I really do.
I would have LOVED your CLEANING EFFORT 🥰😘
Use hot water vinegar baking soda as no chemicals lemon juice takes smell away
T was the white stuff he use I can hear what he's saying
Thk U , 1st video I've seen with something that works. When you get over a certain age. It's hard to keep up & scrub.😁
I tried the other ways first too! Nothing else worked.
Great video. I will try this today
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for sharing that with us!
My pleasure!
I will definitely try this because my tanks are terrible with rust. Thank you so much !! I hope this works for me.
I’m confident you will be very pleased!
Iron out is a great product to clean sidewalks. Just mix with water, I apply it with a broom, I don't even scrub. Let dry. (Instructions say to rinse but I don't)
@@bholmes5490I am sure that is just wonderful for the environment! That kind of runoff is probably not a good idea! Especially for the birds the turtles the fish etc. Remember we share this planet! I'm not a crazy liberal climate person, however I do care about the animals and what they have to eat drink and live in. So please mindful of what you use on your property will eventually end up in our 🌊😢 oceans and the Gulf of Mexico.
I used a 28floz bottle of CLR at full strength, using half in the upper tank and half In lower bowl. It worked great so far. Killed the rotten egg sewer gas smell too.
Sulphur causes that stench
Nice work
CLR works great and requires almost no scrubbing or agitation. It will also remove the build up that makes you need to replace you flush/fill valves and other plastic tank innards.
In toilet bowl, CLR works for me. Scooped out all water, pour in CLR and scraped the deposits w/putty knife. Like new again.
I had no luck with CLR at all.
CLR works great on some stains but not on others. I think it depends on which minerals are in your water so it’s regional.
That's great! Someone got a small flashlight stuck in the toilet and the other bathroom toilet has issues with one floor bolt. Looking at prices of new toilets and how some come with plastic bolts to attach to the floor and plastic seats, I think cleaning mine, taking out the flashlight and securing to the floor is not only cheaper but the old toilets will probably outlive the new ones.
I had an old dishwasher once at another house that worked fine, I just didn't like the looks of it. Replaced it with a new one that broke in one year just after the warranty. That taught me a valuable lesson. If it's old and broken or has a flashlight stuck in it, just try to fix the problem The new stuff is really expensive crap.
I agree with you! I refuse to buy a newer washer an dryer.
@@TightWadDIY oh this house we bought has an old washer and dryer too. Lol. I did toss the old wall mounted AC though cuz it was too hard to clean. Settled with the not so popular portable AC units. They are just easier to move around if one doesn't have central air. Thanks for sharing this, btw. I'm going out soon to pick this cleaning product up. I think il fill the bowl right up to the rim to get the high spots.
Your tank float valve looks like a MANSFIELD. It uses a long white lever rather than a chain. Very nice design because it lets you start and stop a flush as desired with the handle. If you need a light flush (urine only) just push the handle DOWN then to stop the flush PREMATURELY push the handle UP. It is wonderful if the bowl gets stopped up (fecal or other) and you need to prevent an overflow fast just push the handle UP.
I have sulfur well water that leaves a slime around the tank and it is also iron- rich that leaves a reddish color. I hope this works to clean all of that up.
THANX 4 THIS INFORMATION. I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU COULD CLEAN THE WATER TANK. TOP MARKS MATE 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My pleasure. I hope it works for you too!
@@TightWadDIY aa aa Q
WOW, that looks really good, when you mentioned toothbrush, a light went on in my head, I'm going to pick some of that cleaner up tomorrow and brush my teeth with it. Thank you so much
@@PurpleObscuration 😂😂😂😂😂😂😳😳😳😳😳😳
Dammit Man
Be careful. I used that once and ended up having an terrible asthma attack and I don't have asthma. I even wore a mask and took all the necessary precautions.
Thank you doing this soon
I use that Out on white clothes and towels!! It’s gives a strong whiff once you sprinkle it out. I have to hold my breath!!!
Every 3-4 months I clean my toilet tank & I use Dawn dishwashing detergent & brush to clean it & I don’t have any built up water stain so far....
Lets split this movie i use dawn plus vinegar and a rag for the longest time 2x a year!
How hard do you have to scrub and how do you exactly do it
What type of vinager I have the cleaning vinager and apple cider vinegar
It all depends on what minerals are or are not in your water - where I live here in Costa Rica our city water comes from a huge spring up in the mountains, but some of the older homes with private wells eat up sink and shower valves in a year
Be careful what you put in your tank. I was using those large Clorox tablets to keep tank and bowl clean. That they did, however; I found they ate up the o’rings in the mechanism on both toilets necessitating a plumber visit. He said not to put anything in the tanks. No more easy clean bowls.
It happened to me too.
The water in my brand new toilet is orange all the time. I put one of those Clorox bleach tabs in there and it isn’t helping at all. I have orange rings in the bowl every day.
Very grate idia thanks so much
You are welcome. I hope it works well for you too!
Thanks for sharing
You are welcome!
Great video. As a professional plumber, my only question is how does the internal parts handle the chemical? That toilet uses a gasket for a flapper. Under normal circumstances it can last 5-10 years. If you’re still getting good mileage, then a definite home run.
I haven’t noticed a difference. I will say the after market gaskets are junk. They only last about 3 years in a toilet I have never put any chemicals in.
If it’s city water it has chlorine in it which is a bleach substance!
I went to Walmart and bought this, and noticed they also had a toilet tank cleaner which almost had the same ingredients, but was minus one. So I bought the one for laundry so that if I had a grungy load of whites I could try it in there as well. That is, if I have any of this left after cleaning my 4 toilets. I had stringy red algae growing in my tank.
There are several products that claim to do the same. This is the only one I’ve tested because it worked well. Let us know how it goes.
@@TightWadDIY It worked beautifully. I didn't even try to clean it any other way, so I'm not sure if a plain 'ol scrub brush would have worked, but the tank is fresh and clean now and the stringy red algae is definitely gone! Thanks for the video!
