Toilet Cleaner Tip.

What a great day to start this series on Spring Cleaning, the sun is out and the birds are singing here.  It really got me in the mood (as did this beautiful picture) so today I decided to tackle the bathroom.
You will discover later that in the bathroom at least I'm not a massive fan of alternative cleaning methods.  I live in an area with some of the hardest water in the UK and the limescale really is a menace.  However I tried a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and vinegar today on my toilet which had built up some stains.  I used the toilet brush to work the foaming mixture around the bowl and left it for about an hour then scrubbed and flushed - it was sparkling!  I then used my regular toilet cleaner to freshen it and get rid of the smell of vinegar.  Yet another reason why I am not a fan of alternative cleaning methods.

    1. No you don't need to empty the bowl of water. Brown or white vinegar will do the job. I used brown becuase it's what i had, it looks grim when you put it in your toilet but leaves it sparkling.
