Mrs Hinch wannabes come to rescue with £1.30 bargain buy to fix woman’s grotty toilet problem
A CLEANING fan has begged for help after being left stumped over how to remove a stain at the bottom of a toilet.
After the previous tenants moved out of the home, she got to work making sure it’s squeaky clean.
But no matter what she used or how she tried to clean it, the dark brown stain at the bottom of the toilet wouldn’t budge.
In a bid to find a working method, she took to the Facebook group Hinch Army Cleaning Tips for advice.
And Hinchers did not disappoint as they came up with a simple and cheap solution.
“Hello. Could anyone advise how to get rid of this mark at the bottom of the toilet bowl,” the woman first posted. “A tenant has left it like this.
“I don’t even know what it is but bleach and toilet brush scrubbing does nothing. Thank you all”.
Alongside this, she shared two images of the offending stain, which was located at the back of the bottom section.
People flocked to the comments to share their thoughts and many had the same idea.
“It’s limescale. You need to scoop out as much water as you can and then use a pumice stone,” one person replied, adding: “Failing that, put half a bottle of black harpic down it and leave it over night x”.

Another person shared: “Harpic black and a pumice stone with a handle should work a treat”.
A third chimed: “Black harpic amazing”.
And a fourth said: “Black harpic leave overnight and will just flush away its amazing stuff”.
Shoppers can get Harpic Black for just £1.30 from Waitrose, where it’s advertised as the “perfect solution for limescale sufferers”.
Other people suggested a more unorthodox method for the woman’s problem as one person wrote: “Full fat coke”.
Another chimed: “Coca Cola full strength,” while a third agreed: “Coke full fat one”.
