Why does this keep happening?You Can Eliminate Sink, Toilet Bowl and Bathtub Stains Forever

This question is one we get often from clients who have just had it with trying to permanently get rid of their bathroom stains. For those of you on a private well, you may have experienced this issue on a more regular occasion than others, but even for those of you on city water, stains can be a common occurrence. What causes this relentless problem? The answer is simpler than you might imagine at first: mineral build up in your water. In fact, this build up, while undetectable to the naked eye, can be seriously damaging your appliances, in addition to causing all those unsightly stains.

Even if you’re using water that goes through a city-based filtration process, your water can contain numerous particulates. These can range from bacteria and germs to iron and rust. The result you’ll discover is that staining around your drains, but also dingy clothing and more. In the end it means more scrubbing, more chemicals, as well as appliances and clothing that wear out more quickly.

What tips are best for dealing with sink, toilet bowl, & bathtub stains?

  • Commercial cleaners
  • You’ve probably seen products like lime descalers and other cleaners at your local home improvement store. These cleaners are excellent at eating away at those difficult to remove stains by breaking down the minerals that are responsible. While you’ll want to check on the bottle, most of these are also safe to use around and on a multiple of surfaces that you may have in your bathroom.

  • Diluted vinegar or lemon juice
  • But if you want a more earth-conscious cleaner, look no further than your own kitchen pantry. Back in the day, families knew all about this trick to cleaning stubborn bathroom stains. All you’ll need is some lemon juice or vinegar and a bucket of water. The acid in these two items can cut through the mineral deposits that are giving you trouble, and people even use a dash of each in their washing machine as well.

  • A dedicated water filtration unit
  • Will your unit help with staining in toilets?

    Yes, our whole house well unit removes manganese and iron that causes that black and orange staining.
