How to Clean Hard Water Stains in Toilet

3. Using Borax for Deep Cleaning

Borax is a powerful cleaning agent that can help break down even the toughest hard water stains.

Instructions:

1. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Borax directly into the toilet bowl, focusing on the stained areas.
2. Add about 1 cup of vinegar to the bowl.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes.
4. Use a toilet brush to scrub the stains, then flush the toilet.

This method is ideal for hard water stains that have built up over time and require a more powerful solution.

4. Lemon Juice for a Fresh Scent

Lemon juice is a natural acid that can help dissolve mineral deposits, and it leaves behind a pleasant, fresh scent.

Instructions:

1. Squeeze the juice of 2-3 lemons into a bowl, and pour the juice over the stained areas in your toilet.
2. Allow the lemon juice to sit for about 30 minutes.
3. Scrub the toilet bowl with a brush to remove the stains.
4. Flush to rinse.

For extra cleaning power, you can combine lemon juice with baking soda, following a similar method as the vinegar-baking soda solution.
