Hey kittens! Happy New Year! Just a quick note to tell you I discovered a new method of cleaning disgusting black stains from the toilet. Our water is harder than hammered hell, and my toilets are scuzzy with black manganese stains. Yesterday, in an effort to douche out my entire house down to the microbial level, I tried a homemade paste that worked marvelously.
You need cream of tartar, hydrogen peroxide, an old toothbrush (reuse, reuse, reuse!) and a scurfy toilet.
Mix the powdered cream of tartar with enough peroxide to form a paste, and get to scrubbing. I can't believe how clean all of our porcelain gods are. So much nicer to stick my head into during flu season, right?!?

fascinating! what a great idea! I've used hydrogen peroxide and baking soda before- and it's worked quite well for cleaning other areas.
ReplyDeleteSA: I just love cleaning products that pack a whollop without scarring up my lungs and sinuses! Thanks for weighing in! xo kitty
ReplyDeleteI haven't used HP with cream of tartar before - I'll have to give it a shot. Yahoo for being able to breathe and clean at the same time!!
ReplyDeleteAmanda: breathing whilst cleaning is key...for shizzle. Thanks for popping by! xo kitty
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, I'm definitely going to give it a try!
ReplyDeletePink to Green: You'll be amazed how well this works! Some folks prefer elbow grease and a pumice stone, which also works, but I feel it scratches up the porcelain and makes future staining an issue.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip Kitty! You are the "McGyver" of cleaning!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! you wouldn't know that if you walked into my house right now; it looks like an epsiode of Hoarders!
ReplyDeletehow in the shiz do you have so many blogs?!?!
ReplyDeletethe idea makes me want to scratch my face off.
speaking of...thanks for the advice on my rash sitch.
and you, my favorite and my best, are simply the most hilarious broad in the blogosphere!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so wise and can't wait to give this a go. We get that rusty red colored stain from this Texas water, so frustrating. I don't want visitors to think I don't clean the toilet properly! Geezz..if that isn't the least of my problems I know..ha?!!
ReplyDeleteThinking about you Kitty and hoping you are doing okay? Hard to write posts unless your head & heart is in the right place. My mind just shuts down. Hugs from Houston to you xx deb
