Hard water stains often appear near sink drains, shower drains, and in toilets. These stains are caused by various minerals found in the water supply. Over time, these minerals accumulate on surfaces and create unsightly stains. Manganese is one mineral that can cause black, ring-like stains in a toilet. Removing these manganese stains requires some effort and the use of cleaning solutions that need to be applied to the toilet bowl.
Cream of Tartar Paste
Step 1
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of cream of tartar with 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide. Mix the solution thoroughly until it forms a thick paste.
Step 2
Using a toilet brush, rub the paste onto the manganese stains in the toilet. Apply the paste as generously as possible to the stains.
Step 3
Allow the paste to sit for approximately 15 minutes, then use the toilet brush to scrub the manganese stains.
Step 4
Flush the toilet to rinse away the paste and reveal a stain-free toilet bowl.
Baking Soda and White Vinegar
Step 1
Fill a bowl with 1 cup of baking soda and slowly pour in 1/4 cup of white vinegar to create a mixture. Be cautious as the mixture will foam up quickly.
Step 2
Using a sponge or toilet brush, apply the paste mixture to the stains in the toilet.
Step 3
Allow the paste to sit on the stain for 15 minutes, then flush the toilet to rinse away the paste.
Trisodium Phosphate and Water
Step 1
Take a bucket and fill it with 1 gallon of water. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons of trisodium phosphate, which can be purchased in both powdered and liquid forms from home improvement stores.
Step 2
Pour the entire mixture into the toilet bowl and let it sit for 15 minutes or until the stain is removed.
Step 3
Flush the toilet to remove the trisodium phosphate from the toilet bowl.
