How To Get Rid of Toilet Stains | How to Use Muriatic Acid to Clean Toilet Bowl
Hey dads, are you trying to figure out how to get rid of toilet stains?
I have some on this toilet here and yesterday my toilet was leaking water and so I decided to address the stain issues while I had to replace the rubber ring that was underneath there and I figured it out. And I want to share it with you guys today.
First of all hi. Hi to all the new dads out there. This is Dad Reviews. This is where I give you my unedited, hopefully more authentic look at the products I like to use and have and that work on my toilet. So if you’re interested in that, you might want to consider clicking that subscribe button.
So we have hard water. We’re down here in Louisiana. And in our toilets they always get this build up right here of this like calcium stuff and it doesn’t come off.
I’ve tried everything to get this stuff off. I’ve tried the vinegar, I’ve tried the lemon stuff, I’ve tried a pumice stone. I’ve tried filing it down, I’ve tried everything to get rid of this stuff.
And I’ve finally discovered how to get rid of it. And the trick is this stuff right here.
It only costs like less than 10 bucks, I’ll link it up down in the description below. But it’s muriatic acid.
Now you have to be careful with this stuff. It’s a hydrochloric acid. So it’s going to eat away at things. And so you want to make sure that you have all the safety precautions that you can. So we have safety goggles here. We have the mask here. I even have some rubber gloves here as well or if you prefer you can get something a little bit more heavy duty like that.
And what we’re going to do to make this happen is first we have to turn off our main water supply to the toilet. So I’m going to go ahead and do that right down here.
We’re going to take this on down. And we’re going to turn our valve right here til you can’t turn it any more.
Now, what you want to do from here is you want to simulate a flush in the toilet. That way we get rid of all of the water that’s in the toilet so that we can get the acid down into there and for it to have enough room to do its work. So what we want to do is simulate a flush by taking a bucket. I’ve got this bucket right here. It looks like a Halloween bucket that we had. And I filled it with a bunch of water. And I’m just going to really fast pour the water into the toilet and then the toilet’s going to flush all on its own because of that jet power going down into there. It creates enough pressure to be able to, to get the water down, so here we go.
Boom!
And so now the tank doesn’t have to refill because none of the water, the water’s still in there, and we turned off the valve.
So now that we have that, we want to mix up our hydrochloric acid, so. What we’re going to do. We’re going to do two things by the way with the hydrochloric acid. There’s two places that you need to put it to be able to get a good clean flush. And another reason why you want to take care of this build up is because where, at the, come here.
Down here, where that hole is, that’s where water shoots out of and that’s what makes the toilet flush. So if your toilet’s not flushing, it’s just kind of swirling but it never goes down, it’s because that hole right there is clogged up and it doesn’t have enough jet power to be able to shoot water back to there to be able to let the toilet flush. And this build up can cause that to happen. So, what we want to do is clean all that out.
Also all up underneath here too, we want to clean up all this as well and I’m going to show you all how to do that today. So, what we want to do is first of all let’s put on all of our safety stuff. You also want to ventilate the room if you can. So let’s go ahead and turn on a vent. This is not going to be good for the video but we’re going to do it because I don’t want to die. Don’t want anything bad to happen to dad, right?
Get this on first.
Let me know down in the comments below what things have you guys tried to get rid of hard water stains.
I’ve told you all all the things that I’ve tried and they just haven’t worked in the past. And so I looked and looked for the best solution that I could find. And this, yesterday, it worked on the other toilet. Maybe at the end of this video I can go and show you guys what exactly I did there.
Mask isn’t staying on good, there we go. All right so I’m gloved up. I’ve got my bucket, I’m going to reuse the bucket. And what you want to do is you want to put five parts water to one part muriatic acid. So I’m going to fill this thing pretty high with water and then I’m just going to fill the top with the acid.
Now you want to put your acid in last that way the acid won’t splash back on you. If you’re adding, if you put your acid in first and then you start dumping water in there, you might have some splash back and you don’t want that acid splashing everywhere. So, I’m just going over here to the tub and I’m going to fill this thing up.
All right. Once I have that filled up, here look I’ll move you all so you all can see this a little bit better. There we go. Once you all have that filled up, we’re going to take our acid. I want to do this all in the tub so that, make sure it doesn’t get on the floor or anything else in here. It goes down the drain. And we’re just going to pour some of this stuff right on into here. So we’re making a dilution here of the acid. Like I said, you want to do a one part acid to five part water. That’s probably about enough.
Now, once you have that done, the first thing that we want to do is just take that and dump it into the toilet. And that’s going to let that acid start to eat away at some of that lime deposit to help clear it all out. So I’m just going to, now, you want to do this slowly. You don’t want to pour it in fast like we did.
One, you don’t want it to splash back on you because it’s hydrochloric acid. And two, you don’t want to create another flush. You don’t want the toilet to flush like we did with the beginning, just the plain bucket of water. Because if you do it too fast, it’s going to flush, and then your hydrochloric acid will be down the pipe and that’s not what you want. So we’re just going to take our bucket and slowly but surely we’re just going to pour this right on in.
Again, I’m keeping my distance. I still have all of my safety features on and I’m pouring it slowly. I’m trying to stand back pretty far so I don’t get any splash back on me. And I have my gloves on.
There we go.
Just going to put that right there. Now I’m noticing that I probably need just a tad bit more of the solution here because it didn’t quite make it all the way up to the lime deposits. I want it to go as high as I can. But not too high because then it’ll just be, it’ll be too much, and you don’t need all that. So I’m just going to add a little bit more.
I just added water to the bucket. I’m going to go ahead and put that in as well. Just to make it a little bit higher. There we go.
Now, what you want to do is you need to let that sit in there for a good two hours or so. You’re going to want to close your door. Put a sign on it, close the seat if you have pets that way your pets don’t come in here and start drinking muriatic acid ’cause that’ll kill them. You want to make sure nobody comes in and uses the bathroom. You just want to leave it alone. You want to let that acid work.
Now, I mentioned that you also want to get up underneath here where those little holes are all the way around the toilet.
The way we’re going to do that, is in the top of the tank here. We are going to pour some acid down this pipe right here. This is the water fill pipe. And what that’ll do is that’s the water that’s going to go down the shoots here. And instead of water, we’re going to, since we’re putting the acid, the acid is going to go down there and it’ll help clean out all the stuff that’s in there. So now, let’s see I don’t know if I can get a good angle on this. Let me see. I’ma close the lid there. Ahh, oh look, eh. Don’t want to use that. I’m just going to have to try and hold this.
Okay let me put my gloves on first. We’ll hold this like this. Okay, so we’re going to take our acid. And we just want to slowly pour it right, you might want to get a funnel for this too if you’re not as good of an aim. But you just want to get it right into that tube right there. You want to put a good, good bit in there. Don’t really have an exact measurement for it. Whoa. It’s harder than you think to get it in there. Once you get going you can get it pretty good. There you go.
If you all want to check out any of this safety stuff that I’m wearing too, the gloves, the mask, or the safety goggles, those are all linked up down in the description below. You all can go and check out some of that. And like I said if you all want to get some of this muriatic acid, you can get it on Amazon. I’ll link it up down in the description below as well.
So that’s going to sit there in that pipe there. It’s going to go down through the toilet through all of these little weeping holes right here. And throughout the time that you’re letting it sit, the two hours or so, you might want to consider taking your toilet scrub brush and coming by like every 30 minutes or so and just give it kind of a good scrubbing around, make sure the, some of, that the acid’s actually touching the lime deposits so that it can start breaking it down.
But if you guys want to check out the muriatic acid, I’ll link it up down in the description below. And you guys can go and check out, there’s plenty of other uses for it.
Though like I said, you just have to be careful with it. And in the video that comes out tomorrow, I’m going to show you guys the what happens after two hours with the muriatic acid in there. We’ll kind of go through the whole flushing sequence and what you need to do to neutralize the acid.
If you guys want to watch a video about the best mold killer on the market, I’m going to link it up right there. We had some issues with mold in our bathroom, and I found this stuff and it works fantastic. So make sure to go and check out some of that.

Hey Dads,
We are trying to figure out how to get rid of toilet bowl stains, and I got online and found that muriatic acid can help break up the brown stains in a toilet bowl caused by hard water.
In this video I show you how to use muriatic acid to clean toilet bowl, and and how to get rid of toilet bowl ring stains. This worked great on my other toilet, so I figured that I would show you the process that it takes to get rid of toilet bowl build up.
