House Cleaning Tips; What To Do With The Mysterious Black Hole!

House Cleaning Tips; What To Do With The Mysterious Black Hole!

If you’ve ever looked inside your toilet bowl, then you know that from time to time there is a mysterious black ring that appears.  No matter what product you use, most of them will leave you staring into the black hole!  Fortunate for you, there is a way to remove this black hole and give you that nice sparkling toilet you want.   

The black ring that is left for you to conquer during your house cleaning is a caused by calcium, lime or excessive iron deposits.  The magic house cleaning tool that you should use to remove this ring is called a pumice stone. 

The pumice stone can be purchased online, at a pool supply store, drugstore, hardware store or even a supermarket.  The nice thing about the pumice stone is they can usually be purchased for just a few dollars.  While at the store you’ll probably want to purchase a pair of good rubber gloves.  This is one job where your hands will be in the bowl and if the stain is deep enough, you’ll even have your hands in the water. 

After putting on your rubber gloves, you’ll want to wet your pumice stone.  You want to remember to keep the pumice stone wet for the entire time you are using it to remove the stain. 

Next you’ll want to flush the toilet and start scrubbing where you see the black ring.  You may need to flush the toilet a few times while cleaning so you can see the entire stain.  Be aware that once you start to use the wet pumice stone on the toilet it will make a terrible scratching sound.  It will remind you of the hated nails on a chalkboard.  The good news is, it is not scratching the toilet as long as you have the pumice stone wet. 

Once you have removed the stain, you may have leftover particles from the pumice stone.  Just use a piece of toilet paper to remove any particles left behind & flush the toilet paper away.  Say goodbye to the mysterious black hole and hello the the shiny white toilet!
