Hi dear. People misunderstand the use of WD40 for toilets. It doesn’t clean. What it does is prevent fecal skid marks forming in the toilet bowl ... the bowl remains slippery so no brushing needed if used at least once weekly. I don’t know how people ended up making it about cleaning when it’s really about preventing dirt attaching.
Here is a tip: take that toilet brush and using medium force, shove it in the exit hole about 15 times very quickly. This will reduce the water level. Then, WHATEVER METHOD you choose to clean that water line, the cleaner can sit on the stain with out being diluted by water. Every bit helps!
I clean the toilet bowl first with any commercial cleaner. Once the bowl is clean, I lightly spray WD 40 around the water line. The oil prevents a scale build up on the bowl at the water line. I do this about once a month. I do not use WD 40 to clean the bowl.
Thanks for that part I use it to get to rust from the holes and around the time I've never looked in the tank to afraid to and I can't stand a nasty bathroom or kitchen only way is gets like that is if I'm down with headache
I'll stick to my method: Drain the water from the toilet bowl. Sprinkle baking soda, then spray a generous amount vinegar and water solution and leave it overnight. The next morning spray some more vinegar and water and scrub the bowl with a brush. The bowl becomes sparklingly white.
You do realize that baking soda renders the vinegar inert. It literally neutralizes the acid. Just use vinegar by itself. That reaction you see when the two are mixed is quick and pointless. Once it stops, it is not effective. At all.
I like the cleaning vinegar, but my husband hates the smell so I add several drops of an essential oil such as lavender, tea tree or lemon, they are inexpensive and each has antibacterial properties. Currently I have lavender essential oil in my cleaning vinegar spray bottle and it smells great.
Don't use antibacterial/antibiotics on septic tanks. It cuts the lifespan of your system. I've seen people spend $15,000 replacing septic tanks from just being prescribed antibiotics and using the toilet.
@@shawnl5634 depends on the apartment really. I haven't come across any in a long time that was on septic just old bed and breakfast places that were. Shouldn't have any problems but being apartment's the worst with squirrels building a nest in the vent pipe coming out of the roof. Check the vent pipe and make sure you have em in the proper places other than that just track down clogging issues. If it's holding water in a basement then you might need a new or at least clean up the sump pump.
I think the idea is that it keeps the sides lubricated so it stays clean longer. WD-40 repels water so maybe it will help everything slide down easier. Traditional cleaning may clean better/faster but it also leaves the surface a better attracter for waste. So cleans better get dirtier faster.
Underneath the toilet rim is a spot many don't bother with it. It's definitely a spot that gets really dirty from all the flushing , people getting the runs and nirmal everyday use. As a housekeeper and Janitorial cleaner. My favorite thing to clean is tiolets, it's a challenge, especially when very ,very dirty. One thing I do struggle with removing is the hard water. Pumice sticks do great on not so much hard water. When there's a build up of it, even as I clean them everyday, it's tough.
If the scale is overwhelming use Muriatic acid with precautions of course. Drain the water from bowl using wet vac first . Saves ton of time. Within minutes all hard scale is gone. Little brushing as well
@@lawrenceleverton7426 I have used it. It does really well. Then the tenants would complain that it stinks. As where I use to work, there is 5 to 6 toilets on each floor. I appreciate your answer 😊 God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
I have always used vinegar and baking soda. You can soak paper towels or rags with vinegar, push up under toilet bowl ring where all that nasty stuff accumulates and leave overnight. In the morning remove and give a quick scrub with baking soda, it does a great job and leaves with a nice clean scent. Also more eco-friendly and no worries about kids/pets ingesting toxic chemicals.
Those stains in your bowl are extremely minimal. If you ever move into an apartment there is good chance that the toilet will have a deeply set brown ring around the water's edge. I wonder if WD40 would make any impact on such a bowl.
Never would have thought about using WD40. I ran across this video, and just happened to have a can of WD40 on the floor in my laundry area, and decided to give it a try. Surprisingly it worked. It wasn't perfect, but nice to know if I don't have anything else to clean with.
I love your videos but I have septic tanks and sometimes I'm a bit concerned about using anti-bacterial stuff as I need to make sure the tank is not effected.
I use thinking grenades. as you sit on the loo "detoxing" I just pull a couple of pins from some grenades, chuck em around, then I think clearer 💩 💣 🔥😄
I have been using denture soaks at nights on the days I don’t have time to scrub the toilet 🚽 of course they only keep the bottom from looking yucky at the water line
I throw baking soda powder, some chlorine, some soap and let it sit over night. When I look at my toilet in the morning it’s super white. Don’t even need to scrub.
Looked like it worked to me and your toilet it not that dirty believe me as I clean professionally. Those wands are bad for the environment!! And so is WD40 and only should be used in extreme circumstances. The key is to try to soften your water and CLEAN your toilets daily people! A quick once over daily is not too much to ask. And hey! Do you really need 12 bathrooms in your house? Bah humbug!
When using the Chlorox wand, I let the soap solution sit for a couple of minutes before flushing. Don’t dispose of the sponge head yet. After flushing you can see if the toilet is clean enough and rescrub if necessary and flush again.
My understanding about the wd40 is that u use it after U clean to prevent further growth. I will b trying pb blaster because the smell isn’t as horrid.
Wrong on all points. Pb Blaster smells horrible. You have obviously never used it. WD40 is NOT a cleaner nor is it an effective penetrant or lubricant. People misuse it all the time mistaking the temporary effects they are seeing. It was initially created as a rust preventative for rocket housings. Then the automotive industry started using it for things like removing moisture from carburetors. The "WD" stands for water displacement. The "40" is how many attempts it took the scientists to get the water displacement properties perfect. So it does not break down rust and corrosion like PB Blaster or Kroil. It's not a cleaner for your toilet. It just helps to remove water from metals and prevent initial flash rust. It's not even meant for long term storage of said metals. It gives you time to put things into service or use, and then they can be properly maintained. Stop believing every idiot on the net. Your understanding is you clearly don't.
When you use WD40 wear a mask or tie something around your mouth and nose. My experience is that it can cause you to have slight difficulty breathing, especially when you lie down.
Add orange peels (or other citus) to your vinegar in a glass jar for at least a month. Remove peels and transfer to a spray bottle or use straight from the jar (depending upon your needs) It'll naturally soften the smell. 🙂
Thanks for video... my problem is the same as I saw in your toilet. Gray lines running down the back... I have tried everything and I can't get rid of them... it didn't get rid of yours either Oh well i'll keep trying...
Use citric acid. Turn the water to the toilet off. Plunge until there is no water left in the bowl. Pour in some citric acid. Boil the kettle and pour in the hit water. Leave for a couple of hours. Then clean with a toilet brush. Your toilet will look like new again. 🚽🙂
The WD is for water dispersant! So after you clean your toilet bowl with cleaner of your choice, hopefully something environmentally friendly going into our septic systems, spray the toilet bowl with WD-40 & it will help to keep stains from sticking to your toilet bowl. It works like Rain-X on your vehicle windshield and disperses the water stains.
@@beckykosher1128 no it doesn't, at all! Okay, listen, WD40 is NOT a cleaner nor is it an effect penetrant or lubricant. People misuse it all the time mistaking the temporary effects they are seeing.

I absolutely love the Clorox wand I use it in my bathroom sink before I put it in the toilet there is enough soap on it for both I even clean the counter top in the bathroom with it.
This might have more impact if she did this test on an honestly dirty toilet, you know a real world situation. When she lifted the lid, I thought that was the after photo.
@user-hu1ym4ul4r Real world situations don't usually start with a demonstration on a toilet that most people hope the product will make their toilet look as clean as. I guess it all comes down to a matter of perception.
We have a brand new toilet and it's already getting stained! 🙁 it's a composting toilet so we can't put just anything down there. The staining is on parts of the bowl where it's not smooth porcelain, it's rough. I saw your video on putting Vaseline on your stove to keep it clean. Do you think it would work on the rough areas of the toilet to prevent staining?
Ok so my scrubber slid and it worked " o k"... but good news ... wD40 on my fridge , garbage can and canisters (Stainless steel)..love it and it removes prints and all shine bright 😀
Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scour Pads work better than anything that I have tried in 22 years of having a well and hard water. I usually use it with Comet or Ajax and it works without draining the toilet. You have to use elbow grease, but it gradually gets better every time you clean it. I wish that I had known about it when we first bought a home with a well. It does not damage the finish on the toilet bowl like a pumice stone.
If the Pumice stick is kept wet it won't cause damage. I have very hard water and only a Pumice stick works and no damage. And been using this method for years.
Same here. I'd have to fill my toilet with CLR or vinegar and let it soak for a long time. Problem is how do you block the hole so it doesn't all go down the drain? Plus it would be cheaper to buy a new toilet than buying enough CLR to fill the bowl. When you only have one toilet, you can't leave it to soak that long anyway. My toilet look disgusting from the calcium or lime that has built up and it get stained. I have yet to find anything that removes it. Once I tried scraping it off with a sharp knife which removed the calcium but left black marks.
@@user-ci1kz1cc6t I left CLR for a week. The stain turned green, but it's still there. I'm scared of using steel wool since I can damage the porcelain, but this is ridiculous.
My succession is Tidy bowl cleaner. It has a goose neck nozzle which sprays UNDER the rim, which you totally missed cleaning. It can get nasty up there as all your “new water” comes in there. So you get water scale, lime buildup and yes just pure yuck. So if you don’t clean UP UMDER THE RIM you really aren’t cleaning. Also you should clean the water tank. Yes the park that hold water between flushes. Using the same Tidy bowl or Lime aWay will usually do the job. Lastly at the end of your video you say you make all kinds of video to help women. Excuse me,man here and I’ve always had toilet cleaning detail. It’s not a gender role. I’d appreciate it if you edited the comment you made or at least acknowledge my less than warm & fuzzy response to you “women” comment. It works both ways.
I don't want to smell WD-40 every time I use the bathroom. I would think the WD might work better after you clean the toilet to keep it clean longer. Actually, I cleaned my chrome fixtures and put Flitz polish on them and I just wipe them dry after splashing water while washing and they look like new after months.
Just watched your test with WD40 cleaning your toilet , we have a second toilet I used an exit mould from ALDI sprayed around the bowl once left it overnight no brush used it looks like new
I've got a solid hard water ring in my toilet. It's been there for a minute...well...maybe 2 minutes lol. What can I say? I'm a single man and I'm just getting around to this whole toilet cleaning stuff. I see the WD-40 did a good job of cleaning the ring in your video, and now I'm thinking...if I can manage to clean my toilet today !!AND!! make my bathroom smell like my garage..my man card might still be valid after all this is said and done. I'm sold on the idea...Thanks!!
Don’t think I’d try WD-40 on my toilets. Bad smell and concerned about plumbing problems. Will stick to your other recommended cleaners. Love your videos....👍
What about the dollar tree's cleaning vinegar for the toilets? I just saw your other video? I was excited to use one product now there is more? :( Thanks though:)
That's not the water supply. The toilet bowl is the beginning of the sewer. The water supply is in the top of the tank. It and the tank have air gaps separating them from the bowl. The only thing safer would be to flush with a bucket of water into the bowl.
I used a knife with a stright blade on the toilet and it work perfectly, be very careful. This was that thick brown scale that's about as strong as the ceramic. Then did the shower stall that I could not clean before this. It worked. It was like layers of yellow soap scum, a bit of work but nothing else worked. But it did not get the bathtub ring off. (house rehab)
I bought Clorox wands but they don’t work well and they’re too big to clean the exit hole, which is still disgusting. I have cleaning vinegar but don’t really know how to use it on a toilet.
Here is the winning strategy for cleaning any toilet no matter how bad it is. Use a pumice stone for anything above the water level, then pour in some muriatic acid and wait about an hour then flush. The toilet will be like brand new.
How much acid do you pour in? Additionally that stuff makes some serious toxic fumes. I would have to imagine you ventilate the room really well to avoid getting overcome by the fumes.
@@CasiodorusRex Ok I may try that. I just know when I use it around my pool that stuff makes a acid smoke cloud and I have to make sure I am upwind from it, but maybe in a toilet there is enough water to prevent that. I did watch another video where a lady flushed her toilet to get the sides wet, then threw powdered laundry detergent on the sides and waited 15 minutes, then just used a toilet brush on it and it came right off. I may try that first and if it is too much work I will try the muratic acid. Of course the acid will only clean at or below the water line.
Just watched a video about trying to keep toilet ring from coming back so quickly especially if toilet is pitted. Nothing worked. An I was thinking what if u put some type of oil in the tank an a little in bowl, then I watched your video an now I wonder if using wd will oil the bowl an help build up to not catch, but slip right by the usual water mark line? Haven't finished the video so if you mention this, sorry!
This lady toilet is remarkably clean. Why waste good muriatic acid cleaning it. She could have easily cleaned it with some soap n water and a brush. Yes muriatic acid is great and within minutes you can see massive results on hard scale. Drain all water in the bowl first. Use precautions of course.
Ok is this supposed to work better around the underneath part of the rim? That’s the only area that’s hard to get scrubbed clean. I throw in some Comet & whatever sudsy stuff I have handy, or some bleach. Ppl make too big a deal of cleaning toilets! Btw, I love the smell of WD40.
How do you clean black mold from the underside of the seat? I'm a woman, and first time I cleaned my new toilet and lifted the seat, I found black mold baked into the paint on the underside because the water must spray it when I flush. Any tips? I didn't think I'd have these problems now that I'm separated from my husband. Actually, I didn't have this problem when my husband and I were together. The seat must not have had a painted underside. I was shocked the first time I went to clean my new toilet.
I'm sorry to see you can't even use a spray can. Obviously the product should be used in order to cover any sign of dirt or limescale and then let it act ... then with the toilet brush just give it a light scratch away AND I KNOW THAT IT WORKS. Unless the lady's toilet is ... bho I have no idea.
i use a large wad if toilet paper and wipe under the rim and flush it. also to wipe up the worst of the outside of the toilet before i use my cleaning rag.

I usually use it with Comet or Ajax and it works without draining the toilet. You have to use elbow grease, but it gradually gets better every time you clean it. I wish that I had known about it when we first bought a home with a well. It does not damage the finish on the toilet bowl like a pumice stone.
If the Pumice stick is kept wet it won't cause damage. I have very hard water and only a Pumice stick works and no damage. And been using this method for years.
Is this also suitable for black ceramic toilets?
Test a small area first 👍
That's disgusting? You don't know hard water stains.
I've done vinegar, CLR, borax, steam cleaner, etc. Nothing will remove them.
Same here. I'd have to fill my toilet with CLR or vinegar and let it soak for a long time. Problem is how do you block the hole so it doesn't all go down the drain? Plus it would be cheaper to buy a new toilet than buying enough CLR to fill the bowl. When you only have one toilet, you can't leave it to soak that long anyway. My toilet look disgusting from the calcium or lime that has built up and it get stained. I have yet to find anything that removes it. Once I tried scraping it off with a sharp knife which removed the calcium but left black marks.
@@user-ci1kz1cc6t I left CLR for a week. The stain turned green, but it's still there.
I'm scared of using steel wool since I can damage the porcelain, but this is ridiculous.
Try the pumice sticks, they work.
@@chuckredd9131 thanks. I have since discovered those!
ARE YOU NUTS, that's not a dirty toilet, come to my house to really have one to clean, you WILL pass out at the sight. lol.
i use wd =40 also for cleaning stainless steel items
Have you try soda, ginger, charcoal , toothpaste , glass cleaner , persil , Coca cola , listerine , lemon juice
Also..if you use ANY product that sprays.. protect your lungs and wear a face mask
My succession is Tidy bowl cleaner. It has a goose neck nozzle which sprays UNDER the rim, which you totally missed cleaning. It can get nasty up there as all your “new water” comes in there. So you get water scale, lime buildup and yes just pure yuck. So if you don’t clean UP UMDER THE RIM you really aren’t cleaning. Also you should clean the water tank. Yes the park that hold water between flushes. Using the same Tidy bowl or Lime aWay will usually do the job. Lastly at the end of your video you say you make all kinds of video to help women. Excuse me,man here and I’ve always had toilet cleaning detail. It’s not a gender role. I’d appreciate it if you edited the comment you made or at least acknowledge my less than warm & fuzzy response to you “women” comment. It works both ways.
JOE MOVE ON BOI BYE
Man here as well
Yup, I grew up with a Dad who did much of the cleaning as well.
I don't want to smell WD-40 every time I use the bathroom. I would think the WD might work better after you clean the toilet to keep it clean longer. Actually, I cleaned my chrome fixtures and put Flitz polish on them and I just wipe them dry after splashing water while washing and they look like new after months.
What is something that works good and fast and cheap
Wow, what a big beautiful diamond ring on your finger!! Love the video too. Thanks😅🙏
Thank you. ❤️
I used it too and it got the hard water stains off..
I use some, a little, Clorox , straight and clean perfectly!
I put it on a micro fiber rug and rub it on the tile to keep the soap scrum off in-between cleaning
I had dearrhea in the woods and my toilet seat, was a fallen tree. 😨😨 Was that a good idea, what do you think ???
A drywall sanding sponge works good
Yes I have used it in my toilet cause it makes rust in the holes were the water comes out come of
Mr Muscle oven cleaner works really well for those stubborn stains.
Can you get them in the UK
Wow thank you, did work .
Dishwash powder does a fantastic job. even removes urine scale. sprinkle in bowl, leave for 30 mins, scrub then flush.
Just watched your test with WD40 cleaning your toilet , we have a second toilet I used an exit mould from ALDI sprayed around the bowl once left it overnight no brush used it looks like new
I've got a solid hard water ring in my toilet. It's been there for a minute...well...maybe 2 minutes lol. What can I say? I'm a single man and I'm just getting around to this whole toilet cleaning stuff. I see the WD-40 did a good job of cleaning the ring in your video, and now I'm thinking...if I can manage to clean my toilet today !!AND!! make my bathroom smell like my garage..my man card might still be valid after all this is said and done. I'm sold on the idea...Thanks!!
Thanks Greg! 👍
Correction, you lifted the lid not the tank.
Don’t think I’d try WD-40 on my toilets. Bad smell and concerned about plumbing problems. Will stick to your other recommended cleaners. Love your videos....👍
Thanks Ellen ❤️
She used way too much and didn't clean anything. She should have cleaned it first, THEN used WD40 to maintain, but use it sparingly.
The basic ingredient is Mineral spirits. Don't use if you have a septic system.
None of these products should be used with septic. If they are YOU take the risk and expense, which could be very expensive later on.
Thank you so much for sharing
What about the dollar tree's cleaning vinegar for the toilets? I just saw your other video? I was excited to use one product now there is more? :( Thanks though:)
Yes that is awesome ✨
Will it not clog the toilet?
This is really a wonderful video....someone cleaning a toilet LOL
Could WD 40 be problematic for the water supply or toxic to the environment?
That's not the water supply. The toilet bowl is the beginning of the sewer.
The water supply is in the top of the tank. It and the tank have air gaps separating them from the bowl.
The only thing safer would be to flush with a bucket of water into the bowl.
I've seen Several YT videos on RV Maintenance that say NO Petroleum-based products should be used in RV toilet systems...
I used a knife with a stright blade on the toilet and it work perfectly, be very careful. This was that thick brown scale that's about as strong as the ceramic. Then did the shower stall that I could not clean before this. It worked. It was like layers of yellow soap scum, a bit of work but nothing else worked. But it did not get the bathtub ring off. (house rehab)
I bought Clorox wands but they don’t work well and they’re too big to clean the exit hole, which is still disgusting. I have cleaning vinegar but don’t really know how to use it on a toilet.
You should try white vinager and baking soda
Here is the winning strategy for cleaning any toilet no matter how bad it is. Use a pumice stone for anything above the water level, then pour in some muriatic acid and wait about an hour then flush. The toilet will be like brand new.
How much acid do you pour in? Additionally that stuff makes some serious toxic fumes. I would have to imagine you ventilate the room really well to avoid getting overcome by the fumes.
@@starwarswannabes285 I poured in maybe a cup and just let it sit. Came back and all of that mineral deposit was just gone.
@@CasiodorusRex what about the fumes?
@@starwarswannabes285 It's not overwhelming because the acid is diluted in the water. I swear that it works.
@@CasiodorusRex Ok I may try that. I just know when I use it around my pool that stuff makes a acid smoke cloud and I have to make sure I am upwind from it, but maybe in a toilet there is enough water to prevent that. I did watch another video where a lady flushed her toilet to get the sides wet, then threw powdered laundry detergent on the sides and waited 15 minutes, then just used a toilet brush on it and it came right off. I may try that first and if it is too much work I will try the muratic acid. Of course the acid will only clean at or below the water line.
Just watched a video about trying to keep toilet ring from coming back so quickly especially if toilet is pitted. Nothing worked. An I was thinking what if u put some type of oil in the tank an a little in bowl, then I watched your video an now I wonder if using wd will oil the bowl an help build up to not catch, but slip right by the usual water mark line?
Haven't finished the video so if you mention this, sorry!
Use brick acid. Makes it look like a new loo👍
This lady toilet is remarkably clean. Why waste good muriatic acid cleaning it. She could have easily cleaned it with some soap n water and a brush. Yes muriatic acid is great and within minutes you can see massive results on hard scale. Drain all water in the bowl first. Use precautions of course.
Thanks
Ok is this supposed to work better around the underneath part of the rim? That’s the only area that’s hard to get scrubbed clean. I throw in some Comet & whatever sudsy stuff I have handy, or some bleach. Ppl make too big a deal of cleaning toilets! Btw, I love the smell of WD40.
you can get low odour WD-40 now
How do you clean black mold from the underside of the seat? I'm a woman, and first time I cleaned my new toilet and lifted the seat, I found black mold baked into the paint on the underside because the water must spray it when I flush. Any tips? I didn't think I'd have these problems now that I'm separated from my husband. Actually, I didn't have this problem when my husband and I were together. The seat must not have had a painted underside. I was shocked the first time I went to clean my new toilet.
I'm sorry to see you can't even use a spray can. Obviously the product should be used in order to cover any sign of dirt or limescale and then let it act ... then with the toilet brush just give it a light scratch away AND I KNOW THAT IT WORKS. Unless the lady's toilet is ... bho I have no idea.
i use a large wad if toilet paper and wipe under the rim and flush it. also to wipe up the worst of the outside of the toilet before i use my cleaning rag.
Shiid I am never ever sticking my hand all the way in the toilet.
Rain x works to keep the bowl clean
Thanks for sharing
Clean it 1st then spraying the wd40 keeps the nasty stuff from sticking so it prevents having such a horrible cleaning job !
WOW 7 minutes and 16 seconds I will NEVER get back! Thanks Wisconsin HausFrau, Nice to know your hubby gives all this free time!
