Removing Toilet Bowl Stains Naturally

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?!?

  1. fascinating! what a great idea! I've used hydrogen peroxide and baking soda before- and it's worked quite well for cleaning other areas.

  3. I 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!!

  6. Pink 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.

  11. You 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?!!
    Thinking 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
