Have you had enough of that obnoxious ring in your toilet bowl? Here’s what to do…

A ring in the toilet bowl is usually because of hard-water buildup. First, remove the water from the interior of your toilet by dumping a bucket of water (about three-quarters full) all at once into the toilet bowl (watch here to see how and why this works).

Make a paste of one-quarter cup of borax powder (available at supermarkets and drugstores) and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Then smear the paste on the ring with a sponge or plastic knife. Let it stay there for a few hours. Then scrub with a toilet brush, and flush the toilet to bring all the water back. No more nasty ring!
