"A muddled mixture of fresh limes and salt is funneled right into a toilet bowl before scrubbing."

The science

  1. Acid may affect light scale

    Citric acid from lime can loosen some fresh mineral film. Concentration, contact time, and stain type are unknown here.

  2. Salt supplies abrasion

    Salt crystals may scrub visible soil but do not disinfect a bowl. Heavy limescale or rust generally needs a product intended for that deposit.

  3. Avoid cleaner mixtures

    Do not add lime to bleach or a bowl cleaner already in the toilet. Flush and rinse before switching products.

Do this instead

The labeled bowl cleaner already in the caddy.
