It may be one of your least favorite jobs, but there’s no getting around it—the toilet must be cleaned (at least weekly!). We’re here to show you how to do it quickly and efficiently so your toilet is sparkling clean, sanitized and ready for guests to use.
When you’re done with the toilet, finish the whole room. Here’s how to clean your bathroom, step by step (with a printable checklist!).
If your toilet always has a gray ring marking the water line, you probably have hard water. It can be extremely hard to remove and won’t come off with regular toilet brush scrubbing. Instead, you’ll need a secret weapon: a Pumie Scouring Stick.
This abrasive pumice stone stick scrubs away the hard water ring, without scratching the ceramic bowl. Once you use it, you’ll never go back! First wet the stick, then rub the edge of the stick on the hard water line with back and forth strokes. The paste buildup helps to clean and polish. Once the ring is gone, flush to rinse away paste and residue.
