LOO KNEW?!

Mrs Hinch fans rave about £1.75 product that banishes stubborn loo limescale with no faff – saying it’ll look brand new

FANS of the cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch are going wild over a product that banishes gross loo limescale – and it costs under £2 too.

Toilet limescale is a buildup of magnesium and calcium which gets stuck to the bowl, making for a rather unsightly visit to the loo.

One woman who found her toilet looking rather grim was Autumn Wilson, who took to Facebook to seek help.

“Cleaning tips? This is so bad even the siphon jet at the bottom is partially clogged.

“I live in a very hard water area and I can’t clean this with toilet cleaner or a brush,” she explained in the post.

Looking for advise, Autumn also included a snap of the toilet which had brown limescale coating the entire bowl.

Luckily for Autumn and anyone else dealing with this issue, fellow fans of Mrs Hinch, also known as Sophie Hinchliffe, were quick to share their top hacks and remedies.

For the most part, social media users recommended Black Harpic either in liquid or tablet form.

Sarah Jane said: “Black Harpic limescale remover. Leave overnight. You might have to repeat it.”

Ann Hardy agreed, writing: “Black Harpic tablets left overnight and Black Harpic liquid.

”Used these over three nights running and a sponge scourer. Rubber gloves, scrubbed and started to come off.”

Karen Simpson said: “Black Harpic. Empty the water and pour in a bottle all around and leave for as long as possible.”

She instructed Autumn: “Overnight if you can but at least a few hours. Then scrub and refill with water.

“I always use Black Harpic now as a regular toilet cleaner and it seems to help keep on top of it; or you can get Black Harpic tablets to chuck in the loo.”

Jennah-Louise Leonard replied: “Remove all of the water and put Black Harpic onto it and leave it for about 15 to 30 minutes.”

Black Harpic is a popular cleaning product that can be bought online or from most local retailers.

You can nab Harpic Power Plus Toilet Cleaner 10x better than Bleach Gel for £1.95 from Sainsbury’s or Harpic Power Plus (750ml) Toilet Cleaner for £1.75 from rival Tesco.

Meanwhile, Harpic Power Plus Citrus Toilet Cleaner eight tablets retail for £3.50 in Wilko.

Other suggestions included using spirits of salts, cola, vinegar, as well as baking soda.

Angela Barratt wrote: “Spirits of salt will clear it instantly. You will need to open the windows for 20 minutes to get rid of the fumes.”

Karen Richmond suggested buying a fizzy drink: “Try a bottle of cola. Just tip it in and leave it for a couple of hours.”

Louise Mcgonigle instructed: “Get all of the water out with a ladle and fill it with white vinegar. Soak old cloths in the vinegar to put on the sides.

“Use something non-metal to chip the limescale off when it’s soaked for a while.”
