Good to know: If you don’t have baking soda, try replacing it with fine salt or lemon salt, always for a gentle abrasive effect without scratching. Citric acid diluted in water can also work. Finally, you can also scrape each rust stain with a previously wetted pumice stone. Brown deposits cannot resist it!
4) Coke to make rust stains disappear
To make rust stains disappear (and for many other household uses), you can rely on this very acidic soda! To do this, simply turn off the water supply, pour a bottle into the toilet water tray and leave it overnight. The next day, you can reactivate the water and flush the toilet. Scrub the residue on the bottom of the bowl as well as the deposits on the rest of the surface of the cabinets using a brush to complete the cleaning.
5) Cream of tartar against toilet rust
Cream of tartar is a very powerful anti-rust agent. It can be sprinkled on rusty areas, then scrubbed with a moistened brush to remove rust in the toilet, bathtub or sink. This product can also be mixed with water to form a thick paste and left to act for a while under cling film to keep the mixture moist and active. Then scrub gently and rinse well.
6) Oxalic acid for rust-free cabinets
This product is most commonly used to renovate wood and marble or whiten textiles and leather. However, it can also be used to remove rust in the small corner. To do this, wear gloves and protective glasses, then ventilate the room if possible (or at least leave it well open). Then, dilute 10 ml of these colorless crystals in 90 ml of water and pour it all onto the rust in the sanitary ware. Finally, use an old toothbrush to scrub hard-to-reach areas and the rough part of a sponge for others.
