Recommendations of experienced housewives on how to remove urinary stones in the toilet at home

Keeping your toilet clean is not difficult if you know how to deal with the most common problem - urinary stones on the toilet bowl.

This dirty yellow coating on a snow-white surface not only spoils the appearance of plumbing, but is also a breeding ground for many pathogenic bacteria that are dangerous to human health.

How to remove urinary stones in the toilet if there is water, including old ones? There are a sufficient number of folk methods and types of household chemicals that can make the process of removing urinary stones fast and as effective as possible.

Reasons for the appearance

A urinary stone is nothing more than mineral particles from human urine that have settled and hardened on the walls of the toilet bowl.

Also the accumulation of mineral deposits on the surface of the toilet can provoke:

• poor-quality tap water (a large amount of minerals from the water supply system settles on the walls of the plumbing at each drain);
• damage to the glossy surface (roughness, abrasion, chips trap urine particles, limescale);
• very rare, superficial cleaning of the toilet (plaque, settling on the walls of the toilet, hardens, transforming into a dense crust).

Draining with hot water can also cause urinary calculi to accumulate. The high temperature provokes the appearance of microcracks, which accumulate mineral particles every time you go to the toilet.

Preparing for the removal process

To make the process of removing urinary calculus faster, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory measures:

1. Collect the necessary inventory... Cleaning the toilet is impossible without a brush, a hard sponge, a bowl of clean water, a ladle. It is important to remember that a huge number of germs and bacteria accumulate under the rim, therefore it is necessary to take care of the protection of hands, respiratory tract, and clothing in advance.
2. Find a cleaning agent... It is better to start the process of removing urinary calculi with the most gentle, safe for human health, available means.In the case when it was not possible to remove the yellow plaque the first time, more aggressive chemical compounds will come to the rescue.
3. Remove water from the toilet... Armed with rubber gloves and a ladle with a long handle (as an option, you can use an old ladle, a jar, a large syringe) scoop out all the liquid from the toilet. Ignoring this preparation point significantly reduces the quality of cleaning plumbing.
4. Degrease contaminated surfaces... Before applying any cleaning composition, the walls of the toilet bowl are treated with a liquid detergent, after which they are rubbed with a brush and drained with clean water.
