Calcified toilets: Why I only use vinegar to clean

To remove limescale from toilets, I only use vinegar. We'll show you how to get your toilet really clean again.

Cleaning is just not fun. It's not just us. And the worst thing is the toilet. But what has to, has to. So the toilet needs to be cleaned regularly.

While coarse dirt usually disappears easily and quickly, there are unsightly limescale deposits on toilets, especially in the bathroom. These are mostly really stubborn and don't disappear overnight. Suitable cleaning products against limescale are supposed to work wonders, but let's be honest, they don't always keep what they promise.

But with our ingenious cleaning trick, limescale can be removed very easily. You don't believe it? Just try it out yourself at home. We are definitely convinced.

But how does the trick work exactly?

The best home remedies for limescale

The miracle weapon against limescale is called vinegar essence. The home remedy is known for its cleansing effect and can be used for more than just salad dressings. Even the annoying scrubbing (which is really disgusting in toilets) is no longer necessary because the vinegar develops its cleaning effect all on its own.

Important to know:Limescale cannot simply be dissolved with water. Acid helps here. Since vinegar essence has an acid concentration of around 25%, the liquid is ideal for removing limescale from toilets. If you only use table vinegar instead, you are unfortunately choosing the less effective option. With an acid content of only 5%, it is not that effective.

This is how the ingenious cleaning trick with vinegar works

But how exactly does the trick work? To do this, soak several kitchen towels in vinegar essence and crumple them together. Now place the wet cloths on the areas in the toilet affected by limescale.

Let the whole thing take effect overnight. The longer the better. The next morning the limescale deposits should be gone. Then wipe the toilet again and it will shine like new again.

Really easy, right?

Vinegar essence has many uses

What works in the toilet should also work elsewhere. And it does. Vinegar essence is also ideal for cleaning and descaling kettles or coffee machines.

Simply mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar essence with a little water in a cup and pour the mixture into the device. Bring the liquid to the boil and let it steep for half an hour. Then rinse the device several times with clear water. If necessary, the process can also be repeated.
