How to clean toilet bowl of limescale

Hi, If you use Caustic Soda, whatever you do, do not add bleach or add the Caustic Soda to water containing Bleach. I do it a completely different way and oh boy, it really works. I find Caustic Soda takes its time and doesn't really work. I use Industrial Strength Drain Cleaner. 1/4 of a bottle to the water and leave. It will bubble and hiss and eat away the limescale without damaging the toilet. You will need gloves and eye protection. It's called 'One Shot' and available at any good DIY outlet. Try caustic soda first and see if it works. If not, try my method and you will smile. However, once you have flushed the One Shot away, flush the toilet several times then you will have to manually remove the large amounts of lime scale in the toilet bowl. Wear Gloves! Regards Ray

beleave it or not if you get false teeth cleaners in a tube steradent and put 3 in befor you go to bed works wounders and it does not damage any seails ,costic soda will , you can get a new toilet from B&Q FOR ABOUT £70

Believe it or not, try lemon juice... the stuff you pour over your pancakes will do! I've used it to get limescale off a window in the past, works a treat!

hi my name is stuart and yes you can buy toilet bowls on there own but the limescale what you need to get is some toilet acid and pour that in before you go to bed leave overnight and in the morning with a toilet brush give it a good scrub and that should shift it but please make sure you were goggles and gloves as the acid is harmful i hope this helps

caustic soda at your local diy ,follow guidlines and use rubber gloves ,it can burn

If it's really that bad, it sounds as though you've had your moneys' worth out of it ;) I would advise you to get a new pan and cistern,( they're a lot cheaper than you think) you can bet your life on it, the minute you just have a new pan fitted (thats if you could get one to fit) the cistern/ballcock will start giving you trouble.

hi,you can use a brick acid cleaner called disclean or a patio cleaneput the container in there and leave it for a good few hours it will bring your toilet up looking like new.be careful it is acid becareful.thanks nick

Lime scale remover from the supermarket does what it says on the bottle. It wont get it all off the first time. A soak and a good scrub a few times will bring it all off. Regular cleaning will stop it coming back.
