Nobody tries to clean the toilet.
But when brown deposits litter the toilet, hands are needed.
Read here which home remedies help.
Anyone who lags behind in cleaning the toilet or leaves out places that are difficult to reach must expect deposits to form at some point.
These not only look unsightly, but can also start to smell over time.
But how do you get rid of the ugly edges?
Urine scale and limescale: This is why brown deposits build up in your toilet

Therefore, cleaning must be done regularly - even in hard-to-reach areas.
Urine scale and limescale: How to get rid of brown deposits in the toilet
It is not necessary to resort to chemical cleaners to get rid of the edges in the toilet.
Something that everyone should have in the house helps just as well:
vinegar
.
The acid in it fights debris pretty well.
If it is lightly soiled, it is sufficient to add a little vinegar or vinegar essence to the bowl and remove the urine stone with a toilet brush.
If the deposits are more stubborn, pour a whole bottle of vinegar on the browed areas of the toilet and let it sit overnight.
The next day, clean away the leftovers with the toilet brush and the toilet shines again.
Toilet clogged: these tricks will definitely help.
