Hi Ammon! I use this method too. If you don't want to scrub much (& I don't) just reapply the vinegar & let it soak some more. It works! Thanx for posting.
So if I sum up the suggestions you've shared to improve this process: 1) Wear gloves:-) 2) Heat the vinegar 3) Don't scoop water out, just shut off water supply and plunge back into the system.
COOL and Instant clean toilet bowl! Thumbs up Ammon, thanks for sharin' this cool tip, will do because our toilet is so full of hard water buildup, its UGLY!
Dude... a couple things. 1) Don't scoop the water and spread dirty toilet water to your sink where you brush your teeth... and getting it on your hands (gross). This is an easy fix. Turn off the water valve then flush it. 2) wear gloves 3) wear gloves and oh yea... wear gloves
What you illustrated was good for the low hanging fruit. Scale build up is what slows down and hinders the flush. Look in the Jet Hole in the lower front area of the bowl. Flush out as much water as possible get a inspection mirror and feel in there with your finger. Wholly Crap Batman it's almost fully closed up. This my friend is the challenge. How do we dissolve the scale?
The acid isn't strong enough. Use sulphuric or muriatic acid, or at least high concentration essence of vinegar. Wear gloves and eye goggles while working with a brush. Vinegar is watered down for safety and needs heat to accelerate the reaction, but there isn't a practical way of keeping it warm down in the toilet. Battery electrolyte works well, comes out cheaper with less bottled water, and has only a light smell while working. Lime, rust and organic deposits will come off with a light pass of a brush, without needing to touch the toilet, and the ceramic will stay intact and glossy for longer.
The hard metal tools or pumice stone is not a good idea on your teeth or toilet because you are removing the top shiny coating which allows new stains to form.
Temperature is always an ingredient aka factor in any chemical reaction, so what I do is: - warm up your vinegar put aside on standby - warm up your toilet bowl with boiling water - then & only then you pour your hot Vinegar. You will be amazed at the difference in both cleaning aggressivity & the much shorter cleaning process with much less intervention.,
For your health I would suggest turning the water off from your toilet first instead of scooping it out. Please wear gloves when you are doing this. Good video otherwise.
I just don't understand why so many people stick their hands in toilets like it's a swimming pool. I don't do anything involving toilet cleaning or maintenance, without gloves. I can't imagine sticking my bare hands in toilet water.
I just remembered this, for that dirty RING you could use WHITE-OUT for it? As long as you cup out some water and dry the inside before applying the WHITEOUT. Also get a can of white hard enamel spray paint or faux porcelain white spray paint. That spray paint stuff is good stuff. They use it on $400 Million jumbo jets so it must be pretty good.
Hmm, I have a pretty disgusting skillet from last night’s dinner that’s going to be tough to get clean. Maybe I should just buy a can of silver spray paint . . . 😂🤢
A much quicker solution; 1. Turn off toilet water. 2. Flush toilet. 3. Plunge toilet with a plunger. 4. Spread "Comet With Bleach" onto surface, wet surface. 5. Wait a few minutes. 6. Scrub with a pumice stone. 7. Turn toilet water back on. 8. Flush toilet.
I'm not sure why i said flush twice but the plunger is key. i feel like this has gone further than i had anticipated just hated to see a guy having to scoop water out of a toilet haha
Please do NOT use anything metal on your porcelain, whether sink or toilet. You are making hard to see scratches on the surface. You WILL see them eventually because your water obviously contains the minerals which created the build up in the first place. Each time you remove the hard water crud, the minerals immediately resume settling into the imperfections YOU created with your metal scratches. If the hard water can crud up perfectly smooth porcelain, what makes you think it WON'T do even more in the scratching?!
Baking soda will neutralize the vinegar, remove all water with shop vac, dump into tank and flush that way the holes at the top get a dose of vinegar let it sit for 24 hours with white vinegar. Vinegar is by far the best thing to use, clr is too expensive and didn't work for me.
@@xXMatt55Xx Depends on the build up in your toilet. Empty out the water using a little cup and a cloth. Pour in the high concentration vinegar up to the usual water level and leave for around 20 minutes, then flush. See how much limescale is left and repeat the process, if necessary. Soak paper towels in vinegar and lay them over any higher spots in the bowl. Leave for longer or less, depending on the efficacy of the vinegar. It's a little bit trial and error but you will get to know your own toilet and the amount of limescale that tends to build up. Follow up cleanings will take a lot less time after the first big clean, so to speak! Good luck!
OMG!! Thats nasty. I have never heard of anyone cleaning a toilet without gloves. I even double glove my hands. Also I lower the water in my toilet by just using the toilet brush in the bottom.
Clorox would have cleaned it all for you. Just pour and wait about 20mins -30mins. No scrubbing needed for the ring. Then use your bowl brush and brush the upper surfaces,. Presto!
ClanLord from what I have read, 1-9% is good for general cleaning, food prep, etc. 10% becomes acidic enough to cause skin/eye irritation 25-30% become corrosive and potentially lethal if consumed and 90+% becomes volitile and flammable. So, can you use 60% for cleaning toilets, probably, since the porcilan can probably handle it. But wear gloves and don't use it on plastics or other materials that might be eaten away by the mixture. It can be diluted, but some people advise diluting slowly since adding water to an acid causes it to heat up and could have harmful heat, boiling, steam reactions. Sorry for the long answer.
lol so you spread the germs from your toilet bowl throughout your home?.. turning the water supply off and flushing until the tank's empty is the easiest way.
Thomas - the toilet U-bend will not empty unless you wait 2 months for it to evaporate. If you put your mop into bleached water afterwards it will kill any germs.
Another TIP is to not wait so long that you have to use chemicals and hard toothbrushes to clean the inside of the toilet bowl. Honestly, you'd have to NOT clean the toilet at least 90 to 120 days to get it dirty enough to require hard brushes, metal screwdrivers and vinegar. Did I miss anything? Don't get me wrong here I mean you showed something but maybe re-up with the tip something like "It's best to clean your toilet at least every 3 months, and now with the video.." Thanks God Bless America.
OMG it was so hard to watch you do an amazing job without gloves. It totally distracted me from the hole process. I would like you video had you worn gloves!!!!!!! Don't ever touch me, your hands are bugged for life.
I did the vinegar trick and I'm so glad I did. Looks brand new! Thanks!
Hi Ammon! I use this method too. If you don't want to scrub much (& I don't) just reapply the vinegar & let it soak some more. It works! Thanx for posting.
love the toilet paper idea to soak up vinegar onto stain.its working on my loo right now.thanks for great informational video
Tried a few different things, this did the trick! Thanks!!
Thought I was the only one who knew about the paper up the side trick. Glad to know I'm not the only sharp knife in the drawer.
So if I sum up the suggestions you've shared to improve this process:
1) Wear gloves:-)
2) Heat the vinegar
3) Don't scoop water out, just shut off water supply and plunge back into the system.
Ammon Williamson ol
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say the baking soda NEUTRALIZES the vinegar?
Even if you wear gloves and they are not disposable gloves, clean them with clorox while you still have them own and save for bathroom purposes only.
Plastic cutery, knife will scrape off resistant calcium, lime. I also use a pumice stone with gloves on, water in bowl.
Drain all water, add muriatic acid, cover bowl with plastic wrap to keep fumes in. 20 minutes flush and brush.
COOL and Instant clean toilet bowl! Thumbs up Ammon, thanks for sharin' this cool tip, will do because our toilet is so full of hard water buildup, its UGLY!
Joe Serrano ma gdje to ?
I found a way to clean out that dark area shown, when it is black. Turn brush around and use handle to pop it off. Then try your favorite cleaner.

SCOOPED WATER? SAVE IT IN A CUP AND MICROWAVE HEAT IT FOR TEA OR COFFEE!!!
@@bayanicusi2741 😂😂😂😂😂
Bro, oh no you didn't. Oh yes he did...no gloves? Comon that's nasty.
Yes, I agree. This guy is grossing me out. He doesn’t wear any gloves and he is also wearing his watch while scrubbing inside his toilet. Nasty guy🤮
Yep I was thinking the same thing 😊
Quick way to get stubborn ring out: drain water and use FINE grit sandpaper. Takes it right off with very little scrubbing. Won't scratch bowl.
This works I do it too

You should just use the pumice stone....save you a lot of time with just a little elbow grease......and can use the vinegar to making pickles instead!
The acid isn't strong enough. Use sulphuric or muriatic acid, or at least high concentration essence of vinegar. Wear gloves and eye goggles while working with a brush.

Remember that you can buy 30% vinegar. If you use _that_ instead of the regular 5% version, you won't have to remove water from the bowl.
Drywall sander and light pressure using comet or barkeepers friend. No damage.
The hard metal tools or pumice stone is not a good idea on your teeth or toilet because you are removing the top shiny coating which allows new stains to form.
thanks> i found this method to be the least barbaric of the videos, going to try it this weekendQ@~
So the vinegar did nothing. Hard scrubbing and and scrapping cleaned the bowl.
Try scraping with the back edge of a cheap spoon! That’s my go-to for any “chisel” jobs around the house ....
instead of taking water out just use your toilet brush to push water through and the bowl will be almost empty
Temperature is always an ingredient aka factor in any chemical reaction, so what I do is: - warm up your vinegar put aside on standby - warm up your toilet bowl with boiling water - then & only then you pour your hot Vinegar. You will be amazed at the difference in both cleaning aggressivity & the much shorter cleaning process with much less intervention.,
You should heat the vinegar to make it more effective...
If you take a bucket of water and dump it into the toilet it will drain and not refill instead of having to scoop out water.
I love it that it is natural
I can't believe you are not wearing rubber gloves. Gross! or nitrile or vinyl if you can't use latex but please! Wear gloves!
For your health I would suggest turning the water off from your toilet first instead of scooping it out. Please wear gloves when you are doing this. Good video otherwise.

You can lower the water level by pushing it down with toliet brush
No use a plunger !
You would need a autoclave to clean your hands!
Hot water and soap
Reclaiming my time.
CLR works the best.
shut the water off and flush the toilet that will get rid of alot of the water...
not possible
Definitely heat vinegar
did you eat finger foods after this ?
I had to turn of the sound due to the background music. Other then that it seemed like a good video.
im1who84u thanks for the feedback.
You can make it yourself, just loook and learn from Woodprix.
I just remembered this, for that dirty RING you could use WHITE-OUT for it?

Also get a can of white hard enamel spray paint or faux porcelain white spray paint. That spray paint stuff is good stuff. They use it on $400 Million jumbo jets so it must be pretty good.
Crackles McFarly ooh sorry to hear this. Spray painting toilets? How lazy do you have to be?

waste of vinegar without plugging the toilet
I use the "Scouring Stick", cheap, easy to use, won't damage the toilet bowl.
lol just turn the water off and flush twice then plunge the rest don't scoop it that is silly
great suggestion. I will definitely do that in the future.
Anything you keep you out of the bowl!
You can't flush without water. The water that goes in pushes the water that was in out.
your right that you can't push water down without more water. but the plunger does work in that regard so you don't have to scoop water out.
I'm not sure why i said flush twice but the plunger is key. i feel like this has gone further than i had anticipated just hated to see a guy having to scoop water out of a toilet haha

No screwdriver !ever ! Use one of those green pads you can buy !
forget the screw driver! i just use black sandpaper 220 grit. toilet is too hard to scratch.
Thermite would be much faster and you could prevent damage by using tiny amounts.
The water that comes into the bowl is clean, you don't need gloves .
It's not clean after it's in the dirty bowl.
Sane approach
Tried vinegar and baking soda together..did not work.
Baking soda will neutralize the vinegar, remove all water with shop vac, dump into tank and flush that way the holes at the top get a dose of vinegar let it sit for 24 hours with white vinegar. Vinegar is by far the best thing to use, clr is too expensive and didn't work for me.
You need stronger vinegar. 45 or 60 percent.
Can you please explain more? I'm actually interested in this method. Do you have to wait? And if so, for how long?
@@xXMatt55Xx Depends on the build up in your toilet. Empty out the water using a little cup and a cloth.

Turn off the water, flush then use a shop vac to completely empty the bowl or tank
lol......SIX HOURS where did you take a pee and crap during that time??????
Probably has a second bathroom....
Citric acid would do the trick !!!!
Never use metal!!!! Redo the vinegar if need be.
Good hint. Metal leaves marks like lead pencil and will not wash off.
N in
Add baking soda, dude.
I was so scared that your glasses would fall down the toilet bowl lol
OMG!! Thats nasty. I have never heard of anyone cleaning a toilet without gloves. I even double glove my hands. Also I lower the water in my toilet by just using the toilet brush in the bottom.

Work in nursing for a while. We wash, rewash and moisturise all day, every day, we live on. Stress kills us in the end not the bacteria.
For God's sake, please wear gloves!
Clorox would have cleaned it all for you. Just pour and wait about 20mins -30mins. No scrubbing needed for the ring. Then use your bowl brush and brush the upper surfaces,. Presto!
will 60% be too strong?
ClanLord from what I have read, 1-9% is good for general cleaning, food prep, etc. 10% becomes acidic enough to cause skin/eye irritation 25-30% become corrosive and potentially lethal if consumed and 90+% becomes volitile and flammable.

It can be diluted, but some people advise diluting slowly since adding water to an acid causes it to heat up and could have harmful heat, boiling, steam reactions.
Sorry for the long answer.
thanks for the quick reply. I think I will dilute it down first, 60% does seem a bit too high
Ammon Williamson nn
Wear GLOVES!
I'd throw out the toilet!
Money bags 😊
A floor mop is by far the easiest way to get the water out of the bowl.
lol so you spread the germs from your toilet bowl throughout your home?.. turning the water supply off and flushing until the tank's empty is the easiest way.
Thomas - the toilet U-bend will not empty unless you wait 2 months for it to evaporate. If you put your mop into bleached water afterwards it will kill any germs.
Pumice stone

😱😷😷

Soap and water works well.
At least wear gloves SMH
You could have at least worn rubber gloves! So nasty!!!
I know it's your bathroom, but can you use gloves next time🤢🤮🤢
Give me a break, there's hardly anything to remove! Sheesh, this is phony!!!!! Shame on You!!!!!!!!!!!!!
