How to Get Rid of Toilet Ring Stains With This Overnight Miracle
Toilet ring stains can be quite a nuisance, often refusing to budge. If you've ever grappled with these relentless marks, you're in for a treat.
Inspired by a video from Andrea at Andrea Jean Cleaning, I decided to try out a method to tackle these stubborn stains once and for all.
Best bleach!
Tools and Materials:
- Bleach
- Paper towels
- Toilet brush
1. Give the Toilet a Good Clean
Before you proceed with the trick, make sure to give the toilet a thorough clean. This will help remove any surface dirt and grime, allowing the bleach to work more effectively.
Now, turn off the water supply to the toilet. This will prevent the water from diluting the bleach so that it can fully concentrate on tackling the stains.
2. Prepare the Paper Towels
Place pieces of paper towel all around the inside of the bowl.
3. Soak the Paper Towels with Bleach
Carefully pour bleach over the paper towels, ensuring that they are thoroughly soaked.
I chose to decant bleach into a spray bottle for an easier way to soak the paper towel.
4. Let the Bleach Work Overnight
Leave the bleach-soaked paper towels in the toilet overnight. This extended exposure time is essential for tackling even the most persistent stains.
5. Scrub the Toilet
The next morning, remove the paper towels and switch the water back on. Then, pick up your trusty toilet brush and give the toilet a good scrub. You'll be amazed by the results, I know I was.
My toilet was sparkling white and the rings were gone.

No. I've tried bleach and all it did was take the color out of the hard water ring. I still have to use a pumice stone. Bummer!

Bleach is horrible for the environment and septic systems. But a pumice stone to get rid of hard water marks. I have also purchased A silicone toilet brush which is so much better than those gross nylon brush ones. Game changer!

I have a pumice stone to remove hard water stains, it looks worse! Looks like it removed some of the porcelain? Not sure but I have not found anything to remove hard water stains. I am on a well and it is also the minerals in the water that stains. Unless you scrub your toilet DAILY, which I am not doing! So I deal with the stains, it is clean, just stained.
