Cleaning The Toilet Tips

black crud in toilet Post By Sher (Guest Post) (07/11/2008) What if I don't get my tank pumped out? (It could be your septic tank or the sewer is backing up.) You'll flush you toilet or start your shower or run your washer one morning (likely a morning when you've got to hurry up and get to work), and the water won't drain. That's if you're lucky. It's possible you'll get some backflow, complete with fragrant black crud. You don't want that. Pump out your tank, sooner than later.

I think it may be from the rubber washers that hold the tank and float. I have tried everything to remove the ring.

First put up both lids and flush the toilet. 2. Then put a generous amount of cleaning powder or liquid into the toilet. 3. Get your toilet brush and scrub away, make sure you get under the rim and were the water line is. 4. Let the product sit for at least 5 to 10 minutes then flush. 5.

I immediately got my best clearners and went right to work with no result, after fifteen minutes I realized what I was looking at were stains. I have never realized I had this before, but this is a new toilet that is only eight or nine months old. Needless to say I am embarrassed even though it is just our master bath and it is just me and my husband (he is having lots of fun - blaming me for accidents, etc -) I would like to know how to keep this froming coming back and how to get these stains off now. too. Any help you could give me will be very appreciated. I tried to use the works and then Kaboom and both of the cleaners left streak marks as they ran down but never penetrated the stain just the finish on the seat itself. So I am afraid to just keep trying anything. This isn't a subject I wanted to bring up at the watercooler at the office on Monday.

The web site will explain it. When I wash my laundry, I always use a detergent along with bleach. Never bleach alone. Also, bleach only has a shelf life of one year. So it's not a good idea to stock up on extra bottles unless they will be used within a year. I don't use that much bleach so I only buy it when the bottle is almost empty.

By clc Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning The Toilet Tips Post by Jo Bodey (279) | (01/19/2005) Contact Mineral deposits can be whitened with bleach but often remain and collect more stains again pretty quickly. To remove stubborn mineral deposits use very fine black sandpaper, (called 'wet & dry' sandpaper). Some effort is required to scrub the area but this will rehabilitate even the scungiest old toilet. As a cleaning method it doesn't harm the porcelain, its cheap, (you can reuse the sandpaper), their are no chemical fumes to inhale and you will not be polluting the environment or 'sterilising' the good bugs if you have a septic system.

This doesn't work for the upper parts (like under the rim) but it'll work wonders for those dark rings where the water comes up to. Pour enough bleach so that the water rises up over those rings. It'll be clean as a whistle and sparkly. No scrubbing required. Can't get any easier than that!
