Stop Moldy Toilets

Suffering with moldy toilets? Suffer no longer, because I just found the best product to use, and I'm sharing my knowledge with you.
 
About a week after moving in, I noticed mold was starting to grow inside the toilet bowl. So I grabbed the scrub brush and tried to clean it out. I found myself every day for the next couple days scrubbing that toilet bowl. It was so gross! It didn't matter how often I scrubbed it, the mold was growing faster than I couldn't keep up with.
YUCK!
 
I woke up one morning, and told Mark I was going to get that toilet cleaned by the end of the day. Turns out, he had the same thought (yes I have an awesome husband).
Mark's solution was a bit more educational than mine. He deduced that there must be something like calcium deposits in our toilet. So he grabbed some Lime-A-Way, and poured it into the toilet tank.  That way, every time we flushed, we'd get a coating of Lime-A-Way in the bowl.
 
Ok I thought, that might work. I still needed to scrub the new layer of mold off. I took my trusty Comet, and scrub brush, and headed to the bathroom. The Lime-A-Way had already been at work! One coating of Comet, and the mold came right off.
I kept my eye on the toilet the next couple days, waiting for the mold to come back, but it never did!!
 
Thank you Lime-A-Way!!
 
Two weeks later, a small patch of mold was returning, so I added a couple more squirts of Lime-A-Way to the tank, scrubbed the inside of the bowl, and our toilet is clean again.
 
If you are having a mold problem as bad as mine, I suggest calling a plumber as well as using the Lime-A-Way. There is very possibly something else going on to cause such a large mold build up. Since we are renting (and hopefully for not too much longer), we chose to stick with cleaning it ourselves.

  1. I live in an old house and we even get mold growing on the walls when it is damp. Bleach seems to be the only way I've found effective to totally kill mold spores. There are bleach tablets you can put in the toilet that will keep the mold from coming back. Sorry to hear yet another annoying thing about your rental.
