It came up in conversation that some people take the water out of the pan to clean their toilet...
I found this a bit weird....
I just use toilet cleaner & a toilet brush using the water in the toilet & mine is clean & sparkles..
So how do you clean yours?.. |

I have seen this done (on the telly - cleaning show) where they have hard water I think, where it leaves a crust on the bottom of the pan that goes that pale brown colour. Sometimes they have to chip it off to get rid of it, so they remove the water first.
Nobody wants toilet water splash back  |

This is what I have to do, blinking limescale. Though it's just so the descaler isn't diluted by the water so it works better. |

I usually use wipes around the outside of it, brush the inside and around the rim and stick one of those toilet blocks in the cistern so the water looks all nice and blue  |

Bleach doesn't really descale it just... bleaches. That leaves the roughened surface perfect for reaction with the uric acid. Vinegar is your friend (acetic acid/non brewed condiment a lot cheaper).
Unfortunately with a lot of modern water saving low volume/pressure systems you have to get mechanical. Victorians had it right with high cisterns.
Ironically this will be worse if you follow brown down/yellow mellow. Chemically clean and environmental don't mix well... |

"If I'm descaling the toilet I remove the water.
But how do you remove the water?
Ever seen somebody siphon fuel out of a car? 
Eww no!!!
Don't cleaning shame! "
Waaa, I'll go put myself in time out in the corner |

White vinegar and bicarb is just generally amazing for so much cleaning uses |

Bottle of Coca Cola, jettisoned around the bowl, leave for 5 mins, flush, then bleach & brush. I use the bleach that’s blue n thick but doesn’t smell like bleach & isn’t made by Domestos. |

This is a conflict I have with my partner  . Just pouring bleach down the bowl doesn't clean it. |

Regularly use white vinegar and baking soda, changed to a silicone toilet brush as it cleans better than the old fashioned bog brush. Every second week, use the stuff that foams up the inside of the pan, it is very good. Every now and then drain the water away to clean the inside of the cistern. |

Everyday is a school day, never heard of removing the water
Vinegar & bicarb solution works for me, once a week, put it in before bed and has a good 5-8 hours to do it’s magic. Other than that, it’s anti backed wipes on everything exterior, a spot of bleach or foam every other night for everything else |

Rubber glove and an old flannel and you can swish the water through the u bend. The water in your toilet is the same as what comes out of your taps so unless you do it without flushing stuff away, it isn't a problem |

"Drop a cleaning tablet in it and then after good old toilet duck......"
Speaking of tablets, has anyone with limescale dropped a Calgon tablet in their toilet and left it for a while?
He asked, on a swinging site full of nakedness….

Too late, everyone saw.
Anyhow,have you thought of using a limescale remover made for bathrooms instead?"
Thankfully don’t have limescale issues, I was doing my bit for the greater good…. |

I've put lemon juice in a couple of times, as we have hard water. The acid will dissolve the linescale. I'd turn the water off, to empty the pan, to do it.
I think people have used , Pepsi etc, to clean bad loos |

Remove the water and pour a can of full fat Coke in it.
Coke contains descaler (phosphoric acid) and using it to clean a big is preferable to drinking it. |

Interesting thread, I'll bear a few of those tips in mind especially the bottle of trick because, I'm very conscious of having clean sanitry ware, as there's a couple round here who on arrival, she asks to use the toilet, and if the loo is not up to her standards they don't play, and make their excuses to leave. So far mine has always been up to, Ideal Standard, no pun intended. |
