Step 4:
Scrub With a Toilet Brush
Use a toilet brush to work around the bowl.
Pay particular attention to the waterline and other areas where residue tends to collect.
The salt provides some gentle texture while the brush does the actual mechanical work.
And honestly, the brushing is the part that matters most here.
Step 5: Flush Thoroughly
Once you’ve finished scrubbing, flush the toilet.
If any visible residue remains, repeat the cleaning process with a proper toilet-bowl cleaner designed for that type of buildup.
