Thank you!! We moved in the fall to a farm house with crazy hard well water and the toilet looked like this upon moving in and drives me nuts!!! I could not get it as clean as I wanted. I’m gonna try this!
Thanks for sharing ur tips and I just cleaned the toilet. I had new toilets installed 9 yrs ago and it started staining and scouring stick worked wonders! Toilet bowls are spotless now!
Thank you for letting me know you scrub down ward not side to side. It does work😄
This is the best video I have come across wrt toilet cleaning. Bought all the items from Amazon and followed the instructions. Worked perfectly. Thank you so much. I am extremely happy with the results.
Can you please give me a full list of all the items that you bought as I would like to do this too.
Thanks a lot for your help.
@@anitagracias279 i got it at walmart just $2 its amazing the results
This is amazing. i need to get one of these .. living in Vegas we have hard water which builds up..
thanks for sharing ~
I love It! I called Home Depot & they said they have that Pumie stick in stock. I can't wait to try it out & use it. I have tried everything else. I haven't tried Borax bleach & cleaning vinegar as they said that those 2 items also help in cleaning a toilet too. But I think this will kick both the cleaning vinegar's & the borax's ass by a landslide, based on this video demonstration...
Love these pumice sticks. New client- had lime deposit in her shower. Scrubbed it with one of these and most of it disappeared. The rest was in the grout between the tiles. Use a lime away product on it and a scrub brush.
This worked really well and i just found the ones with the handle on it at the 99c store so you dont even need gloves.. take your time and up and down motion worked the best to remove all the build up. bleach before and after as well ... Thanks for this video its great ~
Amazing! Thanks for the video - thought I was going to have to buy new toilets. I immediately bought some after watching your video and it worked just like you said it would - they look new!
Thanks so much for these tools used. Eye opener
thanks so much for the video. that stone works amazing!
YES!!!! I like the pumice stones with a handle meant for pedicures because they're rounded and the handle is nice. It makes a horrific scary noise, but pumice is chemically softer than porcelain so the noise is really damage being done to the pumice, not the toilet. In fact, it is disintegrating on the porcelain and I actually take a rag after I'm done pumicing and scrub a final time with the "crumbs" of the stone to really polish it up. Then I just watched "Ryan F." channel's hack on how to not have to clean toilets for a year using Turtle Wax Ceramic Sealant and that KEEPS IT CLEAN!!! Of course, then you can't use the pumice stone because it takes the sealant off, but the idea is you wouldn't need to. I haven't gone a year yet, but the week I've used it is AWESOME, and we have hard well water that is a perpetual mess that builds up a little every day.
Yes, this is my "go to" toilet ring remover about every 4-6 months. Looks brand new when done.
Yep. Learned this method from my mother!
Clever! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video!
Worked like a charm! Thank you👌🏾
Great job! It is nice to know that the men are able and willing to help the women with house cleaning. They even help with taking care of the children. When I was growing up, men and boys didn't clean house or wash dishes. They took care of the yard work and emptying the garbage. There was NO WAY a man would change his baby's diaper! I commend ALL the men and boys out there who don't mind helping their loved ones!!!
Help women? As though its our job by default and the men are being amazing by just doing a bit? I know you mean well, but no. Men do not help us around the house. They do their fair share and we do our fair share.
At our house there is no such thing as man's work or ladies work. If it needs to be done just get off your asses and do it.
@@journalistTamaraPearson Yes, it's your job by default. Now go make me a sandwich before I backhand you for insubordination
Just discovered this myself we have extremely hard well water . The calcium builds up no natter how clean u keep it This product works. I have found nothing else in 10 yrs of looking.
WOW Amazing! Thanks!
I'm going to try some buffing compound and see what happens - will chuck up a small buffing wheel, my hands arent that good anymore.
Did this today, worked great.
I have seen worse!! Looks awesome after the cleaning 👍🏆
Thank you very much.
Very helpful.
thanks i just bought the pads i cant wait to get them
I have a brand new toilet... thank you! I seriously was going to get a new toilet because mine looked very much like the one in your video. Had given up trying everything else but decided to see if I could find any help on RUclips and found this video. Bought the stone from local hardware store and my toilet now looks brand new!!!! Seriously, thank you very much for posting this.
+cariad33 It saved my life too. Thanks for watching,
You can find those Pumic sticks at Dollar Tree and 99 cent s stores....
For Us Foodies U seem like such a sweet helpful smart guy. I'm really surprised at how mean some people are by you offering what has helped you.. Don't let it get you down. It took skill work and courage to put yourself out there. Keep it up and know always that u are very appreciated💛
j
I LOVE the Pumie Scouring Stick!!!! I get mine at Home Depot or $2.49... worth every penny!
I get exactly the same at Dollar Tree and 99 cents store. IDENTICAL to what's sold at H.D. I buy about 6 at a time in case they stop selling them.
Amazing!
Very nice... thank you
Sanding cloth works well also and I've never seen it leave a scratch.
I bleach the inside of the bowl to clean it then flush it. I empty some of the water from the bowl. Put some toilet paper over the stains then pour vinegar over the paper,, then put some cling film inside the bowl over the vinegar soaked paper. Put up a 'not working' notice and leave overnight. Next day, remove the cling film and flush and the stains should wash away with a flush and a quick scrub with a toilet brush. Works great on sinks, basins, tubs, taps and faucets.
What can u use instead of a scouring stick
Thanks for the ideas!!!😀
Hard water stains. I clean my toilets weekly and the mineral stains can occur in that short amount of time. A product named Santeen worked wonders by bubbling up and removing the deposits; they must have changed the formula because it no longer bubbles up, but still does a reasonable job with a little ‘elbow grease’ and a good brush. One must remove most of the bowl water first, then pour the liquid under and around the bowl before scrubbing. Most of the water can be removed by rapidly pouring a gallon bucket of water directly down the toilet drain.
FYI, I used the apple cider vinegar saturated on paper towels and left them in the toilet overnight. Worked perfectly with no permanent damage.
Regular vinegar soaked paper towels will work just as well and is cheaper than ACV.

Joe Doe overnight is a hassle!
This video was useless until after I read your comment. My wife said we needed a new toilet because she couldn't get the inside cleaned. I tried your method, the next morning, it came up with ease. My wife smirked at me then went and made my favorite meal. Thanks.
If the stained that heavy and stuborn,i dont have a choice but to use muriatic acid soak it for 15 to 30 minutes.scrub it vigorously and your toilet look like new again( make sure to open the window ,use a face mask a long gloves for safety reason)lime away is great too,for rust and calcium deposit
This thing is actually amazing
Thank you!!!
The pumice stick will leave mini scratches in the porcelain. Long term, or if you have a new toilet, not a good way to go.
Fantastic !
Ok!!!!! I bought the scouring stick! Yes it works. I moved into my apartment where the toilet had the hard water build up. I used bleach, comet gel cleaner. Nothing until I saw this video. It really works! Thank you for this video .
Where did you buy the scouring stick?
Yes it looks new thanks again
Don’t use those sticks. Over time you remove the glaze from the toilet. It removes stains but overtime you will throw the toilet out
Thanks! This is great! Never even heard of a scouring stick!!!
bought one of these stones at a thrift store. Now I know how to use it.
Pumice stone sounds a little hard. I had a very small ring and was able to handle it with the rough side of a sponge. A little elbow grease and determination, but it came off.
Thanks for the video man 👍👌
Thanks for watching. appreciate it
The scouring stick is awesome sure enough!!!!
Brilliant 💡 idea for 🚽 toilet bowl cleaning. Thanks for the tips.
You can find those scouring sticks at Dollar Tree and 99cents stores. I usually buy about 6 at a time there. And, yes, they do a great job on hard water stains in toilet. ONLY thing I've found that really works.
Does this scratch thr the porcelain? What about cleaning under the rim?
Well done you.
Love the music.
Wow! Ok! Well, time to clean my toilet!
I always use a pumice stone. That brand, too. It takes the hard water scale off.
Pour some citric acid in the toilet. Very cheap and works great.
Thanks
👏🏼👏🏼 Ty for ur Advice ✅
Can you use lime away rust remover for that
I used a stainless steel scouring pad, worked fine I'm sure it didnt damage porcelain anymore than a pumice stone
Can’t use those products if you have a septic tank??
this is not what I was expecting from a channel with the word "foodie" in the name...:)
Dude! yes!
Wow! Thanks for the video.. i tried a lot of things before, bleach, baking soda and vinegar, toilet bowl cleaners, but nothing worked.. i bought scouring stick (different brand though) and it really worked.. this video really helped me..
Glad to help
How long does the scouring stick last? Do you throw it away after using it? Will it damage the porcelain bowl?
Yes. It will damage the glaze.
awesome!!! definitely better than buying a new toilet
Great job I didn't know those work that well. My children have a toilet that's even worse than that so I'm hoping that that pumice stone will work in their bathroom as well thanks for the help. God bless and have a happy holiday.
that was awsome!
Can you use it for rust in tub?
Best product is Zud- cleans immediately and does not scratch- Amazon, Walmart-
I said to myself I wouldn't leave a like if this Pumie scouring stick didn't work. Well, it worked; to my surprise. Before this, I tried every chemical I had with lots of scrubbing but in the end he was right: scrub all you want, it's (water stains) not coming off. For $4 this was a great bargain. It doesnt even require that much elbow grease! I was done in 5 mins. Have my Like!
Lysol 3x toilet cleaner works great no scrubbing required.
what about compact detergent
Where do you find those sticks at
Where can you find the scouring stick. My in laws used a pumice stone but I think it was one that you can use on your feet which is definitely stronger that the stick you showed.
Link. In description
I get those Scouring Sticks at Dollar Tree or at 99 Cents store. Also can find at Home Depot and Walmart, but cost 2.50 or so each.
Oohh nice, I will do it now
I use WD-40 and it works.There are videos to show you how to use it
That scouring pad (US Pumice) actually works, I tried it years ago.
Thanks for watching
put vinegar in the water and flushed it and it cleans out very well
Another product that works amazing is Simoniz Heavy duty tire/rim cleaner.. its slightly acidic and cuts right through rust. Pair that with a #0000 Super fine steel wool ( finishing grade) so that it won't scratch and give it some elbow grease.. took me maybe 5 mins of scrubbing and mine looks like new again.
4 ought steel wool is best for repairing surface rust on valuable firearms and other finely polished steel metal work.... pretty handy thing to have around... the scotchbrite steel wool pads with bleach are quite a bit more aggressive... i don't think they are hard enough by any means to hurt your toilets coating... very course steel wool probably couldn't do much if any harm.. a stone though.. i guess may.. I've never tried pumace ..pretty sure aluminum oxide could cut a hole in your toilet with enough fire power behind it... pretty nice topic
Your suggestion was looking really good, till I saw acidic. We have a septic system so I have been trying every DIY cleaning product I can find on RUclips. One of my toilets has a stain I have no clue how to get rid of. I hired a cleaning crew to come in and clean my house when I started having really terrible low back problems. I noticed about a week after they were done, that the front bathroom has a stain that looks like scratches in the porcelain. I cannot get it clean. Same such problem with hard water buildup on my tile shower in the master bath. Again, I've tried everything to get rid of all that. The Vinegar + Dawn is a joke IMHO! I'm to the point that when I have to hire another cleaning crew, I'm ready to offer a $100 bonus to whoever can clean that tile, and show me how they did it. I am trying to get my house ready to sell, and I kinda doubt too many buyers want a house with baked on, stuck on hard water!
Try those pumice sticks. Can find them at 99 cents store and Dollar Tree.
Doesn’t the scouting stick scrub off the enamel on the surface of the bowl????
I have an old toilet bowl where the enamel has worn down over the years, and without the enamel, soil clings to the toilet bowl much more easier and now the bowl gets dirty very quickly. I have clean it with a toilet bowl every few days.
get it REALLY clean and then be liberal (the first time) with WD-40. will save you a few days, i promise!
Vinegar and baking soda
A pumice is my magic toilet gunk eraser!
Thanks for showing the pumice stick. This is the first time I've seen one specifically designed for cleaning. For years, I've been using a pumice stone typically used for callus removal. The key is really how often you choose to clean. Thanks for sharing . . .
You can find exact same product at Dollar Tree or 99 Cents stores. That's where I get mine. They're great.
yes, you're right, it is how often you clean your toilet. But still, i would like to try this pumice stone. I hope it will work for my 18 y/o toilet bowl.
IT WORKSSSS
Efferdent tablets works also and take some tissue or paper towel and put it on the Efferdent tablets and stick it around the sides and it works that is set for overnight or for a few hours
LOL @ ready for the next tenant to mess it up
Yes yes like it really works wooow thanks
Should you be scratching the porcelain?
denture tas....or a can of coke also a=baking soda and apple cider vinegar all do the same thing with no scurbbing!
Try 4 denture cleaner tablets, soak for an hour, wipe down, done. Use paper towels soaked in denture clear water, STICK on upper surfaces, soak an hour, remove, brush down, flush residue. Done,
Red Woods!
Love your Avatar!
Red Woods! I'll take your advice. I happen to have a rather large inventory of Wall-Mart denture cleaner tablets. But may I ask you what the active ingredient is that brings the result? Is it Boron? Cou8ld it be Sodium Polyphosphate?
WIKI says:
sodium bicarbonate - or baking soda, which alkalizes the water, cleaning the dentures.
citric acid - removes stains.
sodium perborate.
sodium polyphosphate.
potassium monopersulfate - cleaning and bleaching agent.
That's no avatar. :-)
Red Woods fabulous idea.. rather try this than the pumice stone. ..ewww
wow it"s easy work and amazing work and thanks so much for your idea
THANKS A LOT
thanks.. i was using a flat head screw driver to scrape off the ring
Ouch
WOOOOOOOOW
Yes
The Dollar store also has "The Works"....no elbow grease @ all, just spray inside the toilet bowl and leave it while you clean other parts of the apartment.
Hope Hempstead I've tried the works on my hard water stains and it's zero effective for me :( really wished it worked like it seems to work for others. I have well water with a lot of limestone and no matter what I use to scrub with those stains refuse to be cleaned. Rubbing the brush over them it sounds like sandpaper lol they're that stubborn. I'll definitely be using this pumice stone though and hope for the best. I'm not at all worried about it scratching my bowl it's a freaking antique has a push button flusher on the side I hate that so much lol but it was here when we moved in. As long as I can have a white clean toilet I could care less about scratching my precious porcelain lol rather have it dull and unshiny than stained with shit looking water stains lol
... tell ya what man a very nice toilet... a full size toiled especially for men... or anyone with a handicap... in your home... is way way way underated.. it really does make life better and is a good investment .... a nice toilet.
i once had a standard (common) toilet flushing handle break... very rare thing... only time i ever saw it happen, but was a flaw in the casting and it simply broke off one day... .i replaced it with a really pretty and expensive looking handle i think was either kholer or mowen made... and lol... it was so cool... was the classiest looking thing in the house and every time i walked in to the bathroom and saw it ... it made me chuckle a little.. lol.... a nice investment.
if you haven't tried CLR on the mineral deposits ... it may work for you.. i haven't tried the denture cleaner idea...am going to check that out i think.
worst thing in the world for a man is a small toilet... every time you sit down worrying about your dangly bits touching and getting extra dirty.. and if you have a bad leg or back injury... it can be pretty hard on ya too... been there..
a nice toilet... is not a bad investment for any home.
I agree, "The Works", works everytime with zero effort. Just pour it around your toilet bowl and thats it, it literally cleans itself. And it's very cheap compared to products that dont even work at all.
Hope Hempstead you are absolutely right. Its a miracle cleaner.
SultryGamer22 there are 2 different bottles that say The Works on it. It has to be the blue and white bottle
I used flash toilet washing liquid to clean stubborn stain of water, only spread flash (blue color lid)after one hour flush, you will find sparkling toilet no need to rub.
Never lived anywhere with hard water. Didn't realize there was that much of a difference between soft when it comes to toilet stains.
Why do you use alkali to clean a toilet? The water scale usually dissolve in acid, and the urinary scale reacts with acid, but they dont react with alkali at all.
I'm always curious about how many people can listen to instructions and music at the same time. I realize anyone can HEAR them at the same time, but I mean actually LISTENING and understanding the instructions AND enjoying the music consciously as well.
