Clean A Toilet With Alka Seltzer

Dirty toilet.








Keeping your toilet clean is made simpler with the effervescence of the acid-reducing medicine called Alka Seltzer. It provides a safe way to clean your toilet without the harsh use of chemicals and household cleaning agents. The Alka Seltzer tablets, usually used to reduce stomach acid, will leave a sparkling toilet bowl behind for you and others to use.


Instructions


1. Remove 8 Alka Seltzer tablets and from the package and the package wrapper.


2. Fill a measuring cup with 2 cups of tap water.


3. Microwave the water on high for 3 minutes or until the water is very warm but not boiling. Remove the measuring cup from the microwave.








4. Add all of the tablets to the warm water and wait 15 minutes or until the tablets are completely dissolved.


5. Stop the temporary flow of water to your toilet by lifting up the float lever that is inside of the toilet tank. This will allow the valve to shut and not allow water to fill up in the bowl.


6. Flush the toilet so that all of the excess water is out of the bottom of the toilet.


7. Dump in the Alka Seltzer water to the empty toilet tank. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes.


8. Brush the bottom and the inside of the toilet bowl gently with the toilet bowl brush.


9. Lift the back of the toilet lid up and drop two dry Alka Seltzer tablets into the bottom of the tank. This will automatically keep the tank clean for the next few flushes.


10. Release the float and allow the valve to open and the toilet to fill up with water. Flush the toilet.
