Solution of vinegar and salt

This works like magic, and it’s our first pick. It’s also quite simple to implement.

Follow these steps:

Pour about three cups of distilled white and vinegar into the toilet bowl, making sure it reaches every portion of the bowl, particularly the stains.

Sprinkle three cups of salt evenly over the vinegar, ensuring that it adheres to the wet surface. Apply a thick coat of stain to every portion of the stain.

Leave the mixture to soak in the bowl for at least half an hour, but preferably overnight.

Scrub the toilet with a toilet brush with a stiff bristle. Concentrate on vigorously rubbing the salt and vinegar against the stain.

Flush the toilet to clean it, then inspect it. If there are still copper stains visible, repeat the process.

Tea tree oil and lemon juice

Procedure:

Squeeze 6 lemons or fill a cup with standard undiluted lemon juice from the shop.

To the cup of lemon juice, add 10-15 drops of tea tree oil.

Fill a spray bottle halfway with the required solution.

Thoroughly spray the entire toilet bowl, concentrating on the stained areas.

Allow about 15 minutes or so for the solution to soak.

Scrub vigorously for around 5 minutes with your brush.
