How To Remove Brown Stains From A Toilet Bowl by Healthpal81(f): 5:24am On Nov 14, 2021
Brown stains in a toilet bowl can be unsightly and embarrassing. It may seem like there is no way to get rid of them, but don't worry! There are some easy things you can do that will make your toilet look good as new again.

Here's what you'll need:

Vinegar, baking soda, bleach (if needed), scrub brush (or non-scratch sponge), and a towel or rag. Vinegar is an acid which breaks down the rust in the water left by iron deposits from the water supply system. Baking soda helps remove any leftover soap scum and loosens dirt and grime on porcelain surfaces of toilets and bathtubs, and bleach removes stubborn buildup on ceramic tiles. In the case of an extreme brown stain, bleach may be used in conjunction with vinegar.

The Process:

Mix a little bit of water with ¼ cup baking soda and sprinkle it in the toilet bowl. Add a couple tablespoons of vinegar to this mixture. Scrub the surface affected by stains well and flush your toilet. Let sit for 10 minutes before scrubbing again.

If your stains remain on the surface, add a cup of bleach to ¼ cup baking soda and scrub. Let sit for five minutes before flushing the toilet.

Remove any residue from scouring with a clean towel or rag dampened in water.

Repeat if necessary after every few uses of the toilet.

Rinse your toilet thoroughly after treatment and let dry. Enjoy a sparkling clean toilet!

In closing, you could apply the same process when cleaning your shower as well. I write about that in this article: https://ideasforhomerenovations.com/best-shower-heads-for-hard-water/

The shortest method is to use condemn battery water

Use mopping stick and suck out the water in the bowl

Then pour the battery water into it after then use brush to wash it out

But be careful to avoid it touching your hands

These should all be available at your local grocery store. If not, you could purchase a cleaner from your hardware store.
