Once you understand the different rings, you can decide how you&#8217;re going to clean them. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Toilet Bowl Ring &#8211; Three Types<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The first one is a red rust- or brown-colored ring. &nbsp;That forms&nbsp;from calcium and magnesium mineral deposits that come from your water. If&nbsp;you scrub&nbsp;the inside of your toilet&nbsp;and&nbsp;can&#8217;t get it clean, then it&#8217;s a&nbsp;hard water stain. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>The second&nbsp;is a&nbsp;black or a green ring where the water sets in your toilet, and that is mold.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>The third kind of toilet bowl ring is pink, and that&#8217;s a bacteria ring around the inside of your toilet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6569\" src=\"https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-of-Rust-or-hard-water-stains-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Toilet Bowl Ring of Rust or hard water stains\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-of-Rust-or-hard-water-stains-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-of-Rust-or-hard-water-stains-270x152.jpg 270w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-of-Rust-or-hard-water-stains-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-of-Rust-or-hard-water-stains-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-of-Rust-or-hard-water-stains-250x140.jpg 250w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-of-Rust-or-hard-water-stains.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Toilet Bowl Ring of Rust<\/h2>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s talk about the rust and how we clean the rust. The&nbsp;rust is going to be the&nbsp;hardest ring or gunk&nbsp;in&nbsp;your toilet to get rid of. &nbsp;Since it etches its way into the porcelain, it&#8217;s difficult&nbsp;to get rid of. The most effective way to get rid of that is with hydrochloric acid.<\/p>\n<p>Now, hydrochloric acid is a caustic material. &nbsp;You can see the&nbsp;breakdown of the chemicals if you look at the SDS sheets of the detergents or solutions you use to clean your toilet. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Safety Data Sheet (SDS)&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6572 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Toilet Bowl Ring, Read SDS for Chemical Reactions to Cleaning solutions\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-270x152.jpg 270w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions-250x140.jpg 250w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-Bowl-Ring-Read-SDS-for-Chemical-Reactions-to-Cleaning-solutions.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>SDS stands for <a href=\"https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/safety-data-sheets-sds\/\" data-lasso-id=\"4160\">Safety Data Sheet<\/a>. &nbsp;Every chemical manufacturing company is&nbsp;required by law to produce an SDS sheet.

You find it inside showers, and sinks, and toilets. &nbsp;It&#8217;s based&nbsp;on a mix of airborne contaminants and dust that settle with water and body excrement.<\/p>\n<p>That could be feces. It could be urine or sweat, or dead&nbsp;skin cells. It could be stuff that you wash out of your hair. When you mix that with soap, like with shampoo, that&#8217;s where the pink bacteria in your shower comes from.<\/p>\n<p>When you flush your toilets, there&#8217;s&nbsp;extra&nbsp;body stuff that&#8217;s mixed with airborne contaminants. &nbsp;These things settle&nbsp;around as a pink ring inside your toilet.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6570\" src=\"https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-bowl-ring-pink-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Toilet bowl ring pink\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-bowl-ring-pink-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-bowl-ring-pink-270x152.jpg 270w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-bowl-ring-pink-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-bowl-ring-pink-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-bowl-ring-pink-250x140.jpg 250w, https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Toilet-bowl-ring-pink.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>How Do You Clean A Pink Toilet Bowl Ring?<\/h2>\n<p>Well, for the black,&nbsp;the green&nbsp;and the pink mold, you can use a simple cleanser.

Maybe once a week or every other week give it a good scrub with a toilet brush.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have a housekeeper, they can do a quick clean on the toilet with detergents and a brush to keep that bacteria at bay.<\/p>\n<p>Because even though no one is using that toilet, all your sewage still exists in your pipes and the standing water with bacteria in it can leave unsightly rings.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/askahousecleaner.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/Savvy-Cleaner-Spacers\/toilet-spacer-Savvy-Cleaner.jpg\" alt=\"toilet spacer Savvy Cleaner\"\/><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don&#8217;t Be Neurotic<\/h2>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to use the cleanser every single day, but at least&nbsp;two or three times a week on the toilets you use. There are a lot of people that think, <em>&#8220;Well, I have a house cleaner. I don&#8217;t need to clean my toilets until my house cleaner comes.&#8221; <\/em>Oh.&nbsp;Yeah, you do. It&#8217;s a breeding ground for bacteria, and it&#8217;s the doorway to the sewage.<\/p>\n<p>So, every time you flush, there are a bunch of toxins in your water. &nbsp;Boody chemicals, body wastes, all that stuff gets&nbsp;flushed through the system.&nbsp;As it&#8217;s flushed through the system, traces of that stay behind. So, please,&nbsp;on a regular basis clean your toilets.

All those things collect germs.<\/p>\n<p>Then another thing that I should mention is, and this is a pet peeve of every house cleaner.

Every single toilet needs its own toilet brush. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want you carrying a toilet brush from room to room of your house. &nbsp;You also don&#8217;t want the house cleaner bringing a toilet brush that&#8217;s been in other people&#8217;s toilets. &nbsp;Have your own toilet brush and have one at every single toilet. If you have one at every toilet, there&#8217;s a better chance you will use it.
