How to Remove Toilet Ring
Lets face cleaning toilets is a crappy job- pun intended. I won’t make you suffer through any more lame jokes, but I will share how to effectively clean a toilet to remove the toilet ring. You have applied your toilet bowl cleaner and you scrubbed with your wand, but you still see something in the toilet. You swear it’s cleaned and you try again, but no matter how many times you try there is the dreaded toilet ring.
What causes toilet ring
So the calcium ring comes from the minerals in the water otherwise known as hard water. The impurities in the water stain the porcelain in the toilet bowl causing the ring. So this method is used to fight this ring and will be reapplied as needed typically every month. Which is why we recommend a cleaning service at least once per month! You can also prevent the ring from coming back longer the more you use your toilet wand and Lysol before the toilet ring is back.
How to make an old toilet look new again?
Clean it! We love using Barkeeper’s friend poweder or black label Lysol. Whatever your preferred method is let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Scrub with a wand and then move on to your pumice stone. You msy hsve to do this a few times or 10 🙂
Deep Cleaning the toilet
Without further ado here is the simple method to remove toilet bowl rings in less than 2 minutes. Tools you will need are toilet bowl cleaner, toilet wand, pumice stone, and gloves.
- Apply toilet bowl cleaner prior to cleaning the exterior portion of the toilet. Let sit while cleaning exterior surfaces for at least 5 minutes for best results.
- Use the toilet bowl wand to clean the bowl. Use the wand to remove all particles and scrub till nothing else will come off. Flush toilet to better see what cleaning needs to be left.
- Dip your pumice stone in the toilet bowl water and then moderately apply pressure while scrubbing with centrifugal force(in a circular motion). The pumice stone will begin to fall apart so you may need to flush the toilet a second time to clear the debris to better see which portion needs the ring removed.
- Repeat and use plenty of elbow grease until desired results are achieved!
- Enjoy your sparkling clean toilet
There you have at, a simple and effective way to clean a toilet bowl like a professional cleaning service. So if you want to tackle this job you can get all supplies at Walmart or Amazon.

If you don’t want to spend your weekend with your hands in the toilet give us a call. We will perform a thorough cleaning of your home and ensure that your toilet is calcium ring free. We have even cleaned some homes where the bowl no longer had any white on it all from hard water. One of our clients told us before the cleaning not to worry about the toilets because they have been stained and were looking to get them replaced. However, when we came our crew was able to get the toilet completely white. I can’t tell you how thrilled they were! If you are in a scenario such as this we would be happy to help. Cheers!
