For those who have difficulty imagining how someone could let their toilet (or any part of their home) get into such a state, even if someone has no physical disabilities preventing them from being able to clean, if they're depressed enough, it's just not going to happen. They're not disgusting, they're struggling.

My toilet has had that same exact issue for the last few months, and I work 12-15 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, so I'm always exhausted by the time I get home from work, and dead tired in my day off because I only get about 4 or 5 hours of sleep through my work week, so I've gotten way behind on keeping my place really clean, as I live by myself, but I'm having a Family member come stay with me next week, so I started trying to tackle those stains today, and I've been scrubbing for hours with Comet with Bleach, and it's not really working that well, so I Google it for advice because I can barely move my wrist now from scrubbing so long, so if you have any luck with yours, or have any tips, lemme know!

[@LisaL20000]

Awesome. I just heard of the cleaners with rust and lime scale removers recently..anything else I've tried besides pumice doesn't work but I feel like I'm ruining the toilet and making it harder to clean each time I use it .

[@SA-hf3fu]

*My solution*. My toilet had mineral deposits settle onto the bottom which had then stained over time. Even with my glove on, I could feel the hard, sandy texture of the minerals. Finally, I decided to empty and dry the bowl then added about 2 cups of white vinegar. I didn’t check on it for 4 hours but when I did, it had all dissolved. Also, I’ve had a couple of hard water/mineral deposits problems in areas that can’t hold standing water. In that case I’ve placed a folded paper towel on the area and saturated it with the vinegar and let it set. It has pulled up the deposits every single time with no damage to the surfaces.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

This is a great solution that I’ll share with her! Thank you!

[@daphnelattimer9952]

What percent vinegar? Standard? 25%? Higher?

[@SA-hf3fu]

@@daphnelattimer9952 This is just right off the grocery store shelf (regular Heinz) so probably standard. I continue to use it on all hard water build up and it always gets it. My toilet descaling was about 7 months ago and so far it hasn’t come back but it will in time.

[@LisaL20000]

That's one I've NVR heard of. I think we have hard water and it's so hard to keep ahead of the mineral deposits that are like cement.

[@LeviG-b6y]

NICE !

[@ameliareaganwright2758]

One has to be careful putting tablets into the toilet tank. My Chemical Engineer husband told me long ago to not put anymore of the tablets containing bleach into the tank, as bleach will break down the composition of the rubber stoppers/sealing gaskets in the tank, making them hard, brittle, and prone to cracking. Also, the caps that cover the two bolts holding the seat onto the main toilet can get pretty grungy. They flip up for cleaning and snap back down, covering the bolts.

[@Mullet_Boy_BBL]

Yes :) also vinegar shouldn't be left to sit on rubber for very long

[@coya8coy175]

I like those gel things you can stick on the inside of the bowl. No harm to the tank.

Naval Jelly does a fantastic job cleaning out a toilet bowl. It contains phosphoric acid and eats it away. It's not fumey like muriatic acid. It needs to sit an hour. Flush the toilet and it's all gone. For the lid, sand it and use Krylon spray paint. That's how I got my 65 year old toilet looking good. I've tried CLR, but it's not quite as good as the Naval Jelly. 🐀🐾

I would be happy to help anyone clean up their bathroom if they needed my help. I know things can be overwhelming sometimes. Don't stress, just use some dollar store bleach and dishwashing liquid everyday and keep up with most of the cleaning. God Bless you all. And remember Jesus loves you very much...

I don't recommend (and my plumber does not recommend) putting any chemical product like tablets and such in the tank. Over time, the chemicals only lead to damage of the working parts inside.

[@turtlefromthenorth]

You could start with a chlorine bleach based gel product and let it work for 30 minutes, flush then repeat the treatment. It will take most dirt and grime, and after flushing it will be easy to decide what type of other products to go for. It can be hard to tell what is basic grime, rust or other stubborn staining to begin with. For the stubborn stains under water level, poor a bucket of hot water down there, then have some laundry washing powder, white wash with enzymes and let it sit for a while, even over night. It often does the trick when other cleaners don`t do much.

Use a product called 'Whink'. It is by far the best product on the market for rust removal. Along with many other uses. But the rust will dissolve as soon as you pour it on.

That is the rusty water they have. I know. I live in an area where all the water has rust in it. People buy water conditioning systems to correct this.

That bathroom as a whole doesn't even look like it's ever been cleaned. The walls and the floor are absolutely gross. I think all bathrooms that are Built-in homes should have a floor drain.

I bought a house where the previous owner obviously did not take care of the bathroom walls around the toilet. It seems no matter what I do the urine smell just will not come out. I have 2 choices, tear out the drywall and redo it or put in tile. I am open to suggestions or solutions.

I stopped reading after the first 60 comments so don't know if anyone else suggested this but a method I used to remove "permanent" stains (those that resisted standard cleaning products) is to turn off the water supply, drain toilet then fill with white vinegar above the stain line and leave for at least 12 hours (24 if possible). the disgusting brown stains lift off, almost in one piece (yuck!) when wiped with a sponge & any standard cleaning product. Obviously, this won't work for under the rim and it won't remove all mineral deposit build up but no more brown stains or rust!

Baking soda and vinger as well works and Coke cola 2 litre..

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

I want you to clean my house- absolutely amazing!

[@marylamb6063]

I took 50 grit sandpaper and wet-sanded it away. Took 20 minutes. Now it looks brand new.

[@pupawheelie]

Wow, looks tons better. A steam cleaner would get to hard to reach areas and blast out tiny spaces. Just needs a new toilet seat!!

[@gluuuuue]

Basic round toilet seats of that nature are

[@knotweedkninja8539]

The strong pee smell will still be lingering if you don't remove the toilet seat and clean the hardware. The base of the toilet where the toilet meets the floor must be scrubbed out with a toothbrush as well. Once clean, a bead of caulk around the base will keep urine from seeping under the toilet and makes for easier cleaning in the future. Why didn't you show how you scrubbed the inside of the tank? The tank needs to be scrubbed once a year. After cleaning the outside of the tank and toilet, I will use a clean cloth and re-wipe the toilet exterior with furniture polish to make it shine. The walls beside a toilet must be wiped down too if there are boys in the house. Lysol spray is best for disinfecting and deodorizing a bathroom toilet IMO. IronOut works best on truly rusty toilet bowls.

Wonderful information and great video

[@abutterfly7975]

How the heck did damage happen under a toilet seat? Water doesn’t splash up there and corrode the toilet seat. There is only 3 things that splash up onto your seat, vomit, urine and diarrhea. That has to be from those splashing up and not getting cleaned properly afterwards. Notice most of the toilet seat grime was at the back where your butt is, hence my point. Rust or hard water deposits etc do not come off that easily. Also if you don’t want water in the bowl, turn the water off at the toilet shut off then flush and the bowl will be empty no plunger needed.

[@vickicrouch8347]

I'm not passing any judgements, but it looks as though this bathroom needs a complete overhaul, not just a toilet scrubbing. And, we need to bring back home economics as a serious subject in high school.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

It did need a lot more work! It’s an older home and they were working on updating it. It taught me that your home can cause worse messes.

[@helenecarroll3093]

The first home I moved into 38 yrs ago had a toilet like this. Thought it was not fixable. We spent 3 days elsewhere waiting whilst new toilet was installed. Wish I'd known about this then.

[@Ziederzee1]

Three days? A trip ro home depot or Amazon and in under an hour and two bolts later, you have an entirely new toilet installed, not just a new toilet seat, but a whole new toilet bowl , seat and tank for under $200. You don't need 14 exclamation points , but you do need to turn off the water valve. No plumber needed, no power tools needed, just a dab of effort ,an adjustable wrench, watch a couple of you tube videos. and get to it, it takes less time than cleaning that disgusting bowl.

[@Lilyandmoomin]

The best way to remove limescale is neat vinegar. And I think a new toilet seat is required you can see the MDF board.

[@jathansmom1]

That is not a rust hard water issue that is more then likely a diabetic is using that toilet and if they are not tightly controlled then it does that to your toilet. My mom's toilet always looked like that and she did not have her glucose levels under control. My grandmother had her glucose very well controlled and only once in a while did her toilet get like that.

[@tr.unionz_8086]

I ended up cleaning my toilet which was needed and i have never spent so long scrubbing one thing for an hour straight, it was the first time ive spent so long, i was able to successfully remove 80% of the grime/build up of that stuff stuck to the toilet.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Nice work!

[@6t9chargerse]

I found the easiest way to remove water from a bowl is to pour a bucket of water into it, just enough so the bowl will siphon empty. Leaving just a small amount in the trap. Works every time.

[@malmacmorgan]

Taking the lid/seat off and outside to clean with hose and let the sun dry/bleach is much easier.

[@belindamartinez8441]

My 🚽 has bout 4 yellow water stains underneath rim. I have tried every single thing from vinegar to baking soda, toilet bowl cleaner, WD 40, nothing works

[@deborahw8345]

I've had a Bissell carpet cleaner which all of a sudden will not work and have to throw away but I have it I am bedridden and I have it stain it's on my carpet I don't know how to get rid of it I have a caregiver when we tried things I didn't have the vacuum now side to try to find something cheap do you have any advice for me I hope Deborah

[@isabelshelton1932]

I think what you do is awesome. My problem is that when I have to clean toilets I feel even nauseated. I wear gloves and everything but is so gross that i start gagging 🤢. I know I weird but I just can’t help it

[@euklinrichards7444]

What can I clean my pots with to get them shimming again they are black at the bottom and greasy

[@suzannegerstner2841]

for that stuff at the bottom, leave a can of coke, the contents in the toilet overnight

[@phil4208]

Hey , my toothbrush tastes funny

[@cantcode1001]

Lol put a new toilet seat on there, they don’t cost very much. It’s damaged, replace it.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

They did replace the toilet. In the meantime, I couldn't resist testing some cleaning methods on a very deserving toilet.

[@maryanne9993]

so do we know if the rust guard works.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

It didn’t

[@vladimirrusnak2170]

... how did you clean the toilet bowl where the water is leaking from the inside. Look with the camera and you will see that there are deposits

[@LM-ys8kr]

The Works toilet bowl cleaner used to be the best until they changed the formula or something

[@musicmj4297]

I agree. The Basic version worked. The Toilet Cleaner version doesn't. Can't find Basic anywhere.

[@gunner49er]

If you clean your toilet weekly you won’t have a toilet that looks like it’s been abused for 100 years

[@LM-ys8kr]

When you have well water, the rust & mineral stains eventually build up no matter what

[@Holdmymawashi]

American toilet flush level is so high! Australian standards are so different. Great video by the way. Thank you. We bought a house and the ex husband had been squatting in the shed and I need to deal with it sooner or later 🤢

[@patriciayohn6136]

My Husband had a toilet in his house was even worse than that all he had to do was pour a hole gallon of Clorox in it and left it there for a month while his was staying at my house. When he went home and flushed that toilet amazingly it looked New again. 😂

[@meganmcdonald3133]

Throw the whole thing away 😂😂😭 lol kidding you did great!

[@angellee8825]

Thank you so much
