Just one natural item will remove toilet stains in a matter of minutes
We've all tried using harsh chemical cleaners to remove stains but there is a simple natural alternatives and one cleaning guru tells us how you can save money and remove limescale stains Maintaining a sparkling loo can often seem like an endless task, but if you're grappling with stubborn stains that won't shift, you might need more than just a toilet brush. Limescale is a tenacious stain commonly found in toilets and occurs due to mineral build-up from hard water left behind after evaporation. Many people fall into the trap of attempting to scrub away these toilet stains with cleaning products like bleach, but it's futile as no disinfectant can dissolve the minerals. Using bleach on limescale will merely lighten the stain, yet the mineral deposits will persist and become even tougher to remove as they continue to accumulate. However, Sophie, a cleaning guru and the brains behind Sustainably Lazy, has revealed that the most effective way to tackle toilet stains is actually through natural cleaning alternatives such as citric acid. Sophie explained: "The acid of my choice is citric acid because it is cheap and plastic-free. Alternatively, you could use white vinegar but I find citric acid is more effective and works out cheaper." Limescale solidifies over time and clings to surfaces, meaning these stains must be dissolved with an acidic agent to be fully eradicated. Citric acid is naturally derived from the juice of citrus fruits like lemons or oranges, making it gentle enough for your loo and safe for cleaning, yet potent enough to break down limescale. It is eco-friendly, biodegradable and incredibly affordable as a crystallised version of citric acid can be found in most supermarket cleaning aisles. At Tesco and ASDA, a box of citric acid only costs £1.75. You can also use white vinegar to get rid of limescale if you have any in your kitchen, but it has a very strong pungent smell so many people dislike using it in an enclosed space like a bathroom. How to get rid of limescale using citric acid Instead, boil the kettle, let the water cool down slightly and then pour it down the toilet bowl. Then, add 120g of citric acid to the toilet bowl. Let the citric acid and warm water sit for at least 30 minutes but preferably leave it overnight. Citric acid needs time to break down the limescale, and it will need longer if it is a particularly stubborn stain. When the time is up, simply scrub your toilet bowl with a toilet brush and any remaining limescale stains should easily come away. This is an easy and almost effortless way to keep your toilet clean so you never have to spend ages scrubbing at it ever again.

Aldi urges customers to return item immediately as it could cause diarrhoea, bloating, and stomach pain
The German supermarket giant and budget favourite issued the emergency notice to customers this week. Aldi has issued an urgent recall notice, calling for customers to return a specific product to their stores. The supermarket chain warns the item is linked to a dangerous disease that affects one in 100 Brits. The supermarket chain, which competes with the likes of Lidl, Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Morrisons, has withdrawn its Specially Selected 4 Cheddar Cheese Scotch Beef Quarter Pounder Burgers from sale. The recall was announced on Monday, July 14, and affects products purchased from Bathgate stores near Birmingham at the moment. The item carries the barcode 4088600410098 and has a use-by date set for May 2026. Aldi released a statement saying: "As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling Specially Selected 4 Cheddar Cheese Scotch Beef Quarter Pounder Burgers because the product is labelled incorrectly and contains an undeclared allergen (gluten)." The retailer apologised for any inconvenience caused and continued: "This is a precautionary recall." Aldi confirmed that the product, retailing for £3.29, has been removed from shelves in all impacted stores and that all batches in question are being recalled. The company has provided guidance for affected consumers, stating: "Do not consume the product if you have an allergy or intolerance to gluten and return the product to your nearest store for a full refund." Aldi reassured customers about their commitment to safety and quality, saying: "All our products go through rigorous safety and quality checks." For further assistance, Aldi has invited customers to contact them by saying: "Still need help? Give us a call on 0800 042 0800 or fill out our webform here." Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition, where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. For those with coeliac disease, consuming gluten – a protein in wheat, rye, and barley – triggers this response. When people with coeliac disease eat foods containing gluten, the lining of the small intestine (the gut) becomes damaged. Tiny finger-like projections called villi covering the intestine (gut) lining become inflamed and then flattened, leaving less surface area to absorb nutrients. This can lead to various symptoms. When gluten is removed from the diet, these villi are able to grow back and resume their normal function. Symptoms of coeliac disease can range from mild to severe, and often come and go. Diarrhoea is a common symptom of coeliac disease, according to the NHS. It's caused by the small bowel (intestines) not being able to absorb nutrients (malabsorption). Malabsorption can also lead to stools (poo) containing abnormally high levels of fat (steatorrhoea). This can make them foul smelling, greasy and frothy. They may also be difficult to flush down the toilet. Other common gut-related symptoms include: abdominal pain (stomach ache) bloating and flatulence (farting) indigestion constipation vomiting Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
