5. Clean Under the Rim With a Toothbrush
The underside of the toilet rim is where bacteria and stains hide. Use an old toothbrush or small detailing brush to scrub this spot with disinfectant or vinegar once a week.
6. Use a Pumice Stone for Hard Water Stains
If you’ve got stubborn mineral rings in the bowl, a pumice stone works wonders—just make sure it’s wet before you use it, and scrub gently to avoid scratching.

It’s one of the dirtiest spots in the bathroom and gets touched all the time. Wipe it down daily with a disinfecting wipe or a vinegar-water spray.

Borax is a powerful cleaner that’s especially good for rust stains.
How to use:
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Borax into the bowl, then follow with vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 20 minutes, scrub, and flush.
Quick Daily Maintenance Tip:
Keep a toilet brush in a holder with a little disinfectant or all-purpose cleaner inside. After using the toilet, give it a quick swish to stay ahead of buildup!
