While there are many methods to remove ruststains, some innovative techniques can make it easier. We will be discussing some of the most effective and unique ways to remove rust from toilets in this blog.
Use pumice stones
Pumice is a volcanic rock that can be used to exfoliate the skin. However, it can also be used for removing rust stains on toilets. You can use it by soaking the pumice rock in water and then gently scraping the rust stain with a circular motion. It can be used on porcelain toilets but it is not recommended for other surfaces.
Coca-Cola?
Coca-Cola may be a favorite soft drink but did you also know that it can help to remove rust stains. Coca-Cola’s acids can dissolve rust stains and make them easier to remove. You can simply pour one can of Coca-Cola in your toilet bowl, and leave it to sit for several hours or overnight. Next, scrub the bowl with the toilet brush.
