Sparkling Clean: The Plumber’s Secret to a Chemical-Free Clean

1. Gather Your Supplies: All you need is white vinegar – no fancy equipment required. For a more thorough clean, a scrub brush or an old toothbrush might come in handy.

2. Prepare the Toilet: If you’re cleaning the toilet bowl, start by flushing to wet the sides. For cisterns, remove the lid to get started.

3. Apply the Vinegar: For toilet bowls, pour a generous amount of vinegar around the rim, allowing it to trickle down the sides. For cisterns, fill them with enough vinegar to cover any stains or deposits. In both cases, aim for about a cup or two of vinegar.

4. Wait it Out: The key to this method is patience. Let the vinegar sit and work its magic for at least a few hours, or even overnight if possible. This gives it ample time to break down any grime or build-up.

5. Scrub and Flush: After the waiting period, give the toilet a good scrub with a brush to loosen any remaining deposits. For cisterns, a quick scrub with a brush or cloth can help remove any lingering residue. Then, flush away the vinegar and any dissolved grime.
