How to Clean a Toilet With Pumice Stone

Hard water is a common problem in many areas that can form a nasty stain in the toilet, leaving the entire bathroom looking and feeling unclean. Even if it's not from hard water, a toilet stain is an unpleasant thing to contend with. With so many commercial products on the market today claiming to be able to work wonders on your bathroom, sometimes the best solution is the simplest and cheapest. A regular pumice stone can clean a toilet better than almost anything else out there.

Things You'll Need

• Rubber gloves

Instructions

1. Dampen the pumice stone in water from the sink.

2. Don rubber gloves. Even though the toilet is flushed before you start, there are still germs lurking about that you can't see.

3. Scrub the stained areas with the pumice stone. Be careful not to scrub too hard as this may scratch the porcelain. Keep the pumice stone wet while scrubbing at all times to avoid unnecessary scratches on the porcelain.

4. When the stain is lifted, flush the toilet to rinse the area.

5. Inspect your handiwork and touch up missed areas as needed.

Tips & Warnings

• Dipping the dampened pumice stone in baking soda is great way to remove particularly stubborn stains.

• A dry pumice stone will scratch the porcelain of your toilet so it's important to keep it wet while using it.
