Limescale is a common household issue that can be found around taps, on shower screens, in baths and inside appliances such as kettles and washing machines.

Limescale is more common in hardwater areas such as London and the South East of England.

Removing toilet limescale without using harsh chemicals can be difficult as the substance is usually stubborn and unpleasant.

One person who was struggling with toilet limescale was Facebook user Lisa Ruskin. Desperate to remove the unsightly stains, she asked an online cleaning community for a solution.

Lisa Ruskin asked the Facebook group, 'Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips': "What’s the best way of getting rid of hard water/rust stains in toilets?"

The post was inundated with responses from using white vinegar to Harpic Black. However, one of the most suggested natural methods was to use a toilet pumice stone.

Clare Bridget Jones said: "Toilet pumice. Will be gone in seconds."

Tammera Vaux agreed and wrote: "This is what I use too! It’s like a magic stick!"

Clare Bridget Jones commented: "Tammera Vaux indeed it is. Total game changer. I get mine from Temu. They’re pennies too!"

JC Rodriguez replied: "Pour a bucket of water so that there is no water in [the] toilet, fill with vinegar, leave overnight, get a pumice stone wear gloves and scrape away."

Paula Lewis also suggested: "Pumice stone. You can buy [it] with handles for the toilet."

Toilet pumice stones can be bought from Temu for 79p each, Amazon for £5 and B&Q for £6.99.

Other suggestions from Mrs Hinch fans included using Viakal, cola and Harpic Black.

Jessica Wakefield said: "Harpic black and leave it overnight if possible. It’s amazing stuff."

Alexandra McDonnell commented: "Viakal. Push all the water out of the bottom of the toilet, spray and spray with Viakal. Leave it for a while, then brush around and flush. Repeat. Spray again if necessary."

Samantha Jonson replied to the post: "Cheap coke leave overnight."
