Taking out the trash. Folding the laundry. Scrubbing your soiled toilet. You dread these household chores. Am I right? But one of these tasks, if left unperformed, can translate to 40,000 germs per square inch, including e-coli, salmonella and staphylococci. That would be your toilet. It’s low on the totem pole of things you want to do in your home, but high on the list of importance. Fortunately, there’s more than one way to clean a dirty toilet.
The best way to tackle the bad chore blues is to keep it interesting! Here are ten tantalizing options for cleaning your toilet so you can sit pretty on your porcelain throne. Feel free to mix and match.

1. Coca-Cola – Pour a full Coke around the rim of your toilet so it fully coats the toilet bowl. Let it sit for at least an hour while the carbonic, citric, and phosphoric acids in the Coke break down the stains. Scrub the stains with a toilet brush, and then flush.

Thank you for your suggestion Kathie. Since yogurt doesn’t last long in my house to go bad, my septic guru also suggests a ‘cake’ of yeast (or loose yeast in a couple packets) dropped into the back toilet tank, will flush down the enzymes which will safely ‘eat’ away the accumulating contents flowing down your household pipes and into the septic tank. He’s thoroughly emptied and inspected our entire system since my home was built in the mid 60s without a lick of trouble. It’s much cheaper than the commercial products such as RID-X and every bit as safe and affective. Have a great day!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I BOUGHT 2 NEW TOILETS BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE BLACK & MOLD OFF THE INSIDE OF THE TANK... SOMEONE TOLD ME IT'S ONLY GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME HARD WATER... IT WAS THAT WAY WHEN I MOVED INTO MY CONDO 1 1/2 YRS AGO... HOW CAN I TAKE CARE OF THE TANK, IT HAS VERY LITTLE ROOM INSIDE THE TANK WITH THE NEW FLUSH ROUND CONTAINER?? MOST PEOPLE I ASKED AROUND HERE HAVE NEVER LOOKED INTO THEIR TANK... ANY SUGGESTIONS??
