Sure, you clean your toilet regularly and that's wonderful too. But have you ever looked under the edge of the toilet? If so, you have probably noticed that unsightly and, above all, unhygienic dirt has accumulated there over time, which is not noticeable because it is hidden - at least until it starts to smell unpleasant. Don't feel guilty! Many people don't think about these hidden places and are shocked when they first see them. From now on you will pay more attention to the edge so that there is no more stubborn dirt in the future. We have a few ideas and tips on which tools and natural cleaners you can use to effectively clean the toilet rim and keep it clean.
Toilets clean inside, outside and all around
Hygiene in the bathroom is particularly important because this is where most bacteria often collect.

How can you clean a heavily soiled toilet rim and remove limescale and urine scale? In addition to practical accessories, there are also effective home remedies for making toilet cleaners yourself instead of using chemical ones with harmful fumes.
Clean a dirty toilet with the right tools
There are special toilet brushes that have a small edge brush that is designed to reach under the edge and give you a good scrubbing there. Even if you use household cleaning products, it is best to always wear gloves. This way you protect your skin from the products, but also from the bacteria in the toilet.
You have probably already read the label on the toilet cleaner. It is pointed out that the agent should work for some time, which is a bit difficult, especially at the edge, as the agent runs straight back down. The solution is kitchen paper! Soak some with your chosen toilet cleaner and stuff them under the rim where you'll let them work their magic. Then scrub with the brush mentioned above.
If that doesn't help, you can try pumice stone as an aid to remove even stubborn deposits. The stone should be narrow or tapered so that you can easily get under the edge. Allow any agent to take effect beforehand.
