How to Get Rid of Black Toilet Stains From Sulfur Water
No one wants to use a dirty or a stained toilet. It doesn’t matter if the stain comes from things like sulfur water or even innocent things like spilled paint, etc. When we see a stained toilet, our minds automatically assume that the toilet is dirty. Unfortunately, sulfur water can stain your toilet and also emit a rotten egg like smell. That’s why it’s necessary to address the problem immediately. We at John The Plumber suggest the following methods.
White Vinegar
The black stains are formed by iron that’s pulled from the pipes by the sulfur in the water. White vinegar is mildly acidic and will gently remove the stains without damaging the toilet in any way. You can use about three cups of the vinegar and pour it into the toilet. After that, you need to scrub the bowl and let it rest for a few hours. After the vinegar has a chance to work for a few hours, flush the toilet. You will need to repeat the process once or twice or until all of the stains are gone.
Lemon Juice
This is another naturally acidic product that will remove the black stains without harming the porcelain. Lemon will also ensure that your bathroom smells pleasant and fresh, which can be useful in the presence of sulfur water. You need to follow the same process as you did with the vinegar solution. Mix one part lemon juice with two parts water to get the best results.
Store-Bought Cleaners
You need to be careful if you’re buying commercial cleaners to clean the sulfur water or hard water stains. These cleaners can damage the toilet if you’re not careful and use them well. Make sure that you read the instructions on the bottle carefully before using them. Some cleaners might not be useful against sulfur water stains. If you use these cleaners carelessly, you’ll have to spend money on needless repairs.
You can also call a plumber to find the root cause of sulfur water and address the problem. That would ensure that you won’t have to clean the toilet repeatedly.
