How to prevent rust from forming in toilets?
The appearance of rust occurs when iron and oxygen come into contact with water. This then causes the formation of iron oxide. It is therefore relatively difficult to avoid yellowish stains in the toilet bowl. However, we can take some preventive measures.
By cleaning your toilet regularly, you can, for example, prevent the buildup of minerals and rust stains in the bowl. To do this, brush daily, or even several times a day. Additionally, clean the toilet every two days or so with mild household products to prevent stains from appearing. Vinegar or baking soda are very good choices here. Conversely, avoid abrasive cleaning products which can damage the surface of the toilet. This can in fact encourage the accumulation of minerals and the formation of rust stains on damaged enamel.
If the problem is out of control despite these preventive maintenance actions, you can also consider installing a water filtration system or a water softener.
