As Ideal Home’s Editor for all things cleaning, I’ve tried just about every cleaning product out there. And while I have a pretty clean home as a result, one thing I’ve never been able to tackle completely is the stains in my toilet. But that all changed when my mum introduced me to Nancy Birtwhistle’s cleaning recipes.
Anyone who lives in a hard water area will know the struggle of cleaning a stained toilet bowl, but my problems go one step further as my chalky Kent town is technically a ‘very hard water’ area. As a result, I’ve tried everything to remove the limescale from my toilet - from pouring a whole load of white vinegar down it to giving the viral Coca-Cola hack a whirl. And while they’ve worked okay, they’ve never been able to get rid of these stains completely.
