How to remove plaque in the toilet: how to properly clean the toilet from all types of plaque
What plaque is formed from what?
There are several types of plaque inside the toilet. They are all fairly easy to peel off, but sometimes you can use different means for this. So:
· Urinary stone. As the name suggests, it is formed from human urine. In fact, this is an ordinary mineral deposit that remains if you forget to rinse after using the toilet. The stone will settle on the walls and around the opening of the toilet bowl. And it will not work to clean it with a brush;
· rust. Typically occurs in homes with old iron pipes. The water flowing through such pipes is always excessively saturated with iron, due to which the surface over which it flows can rust;
· Limescale. As a rule, it appears if water with a high degree of hardness flows in the water supply system. Plaque just settles on the sides. And if you remove it immediately, it will not crumble into a dense canvas, which will take a very long time to wipe off.
The most common cause of excess plaque build-up in the toilet is damage to it. For example, microcracks in the coating. Unwanted elements cling to this unevenness, and new layers of plaque build up around them.
