If you’re spending a fair share of your finances on Clorox and Lysol to remove stains from your toilet, you’re not alone. Many homeowners, especially those on well water near Buffalo, have iron in their water that causes discoloration in toilet bowls.

Common Well Water Staining

Well water often contains iron and a minimal amount can result in issues with the smell, taste, and color of your water. Iron stains in toilets appear as orange or musty brown water. As a result, many homeowners notice a “ring stain” where the water sits. 

A slimy, brown build-up means you likely have iron-rich water. Water that creates this type of stain is carrying bacteria that is thriving inside of your toilet.

How to Clean Orange Stained Toilets 

Cleaning regularly can help prevent buildup but it won’t eliminate the problem. As long as the water is coming in and out of the appliance, the stains stay. Certain cleaners can also scratch toilet bowls, allowing stains to sit in those scratches and become permanent.

If you’re constantly scrubbing your toilet without seeing results, you might want to consider a water filtration or a water softening system. Watercure USA offers free professional water testing to identify the content of iron in your water and what type of system you’d benefit from.

Benefits of a Water System to Combat Staining

The right water filtration or softening system can keep the high iron levels in your water under control. It is an investment that will give you and your family the clean water you deserve. 

Filtering out iron won’t just benefit your toilet bowl; it will benefit all of your home appliances. Home appliances, such as dishwashers and washers, will benefit from a professional water system that filters out iron by eliminating buildup.
