How to remove blue dye stains from a toilet bowl.

I have been using a blue toilet bowl cleaner.The bowl under the water in the older toilet is blue because the cleaner leaves blue trails down the side of the toilets.Is there anything I can do to remove the stains?They look dirty.I am going to use a regular cleaner that is not clingy and not blue or green, but would love to know how to clean the stain out.This is especially true for clip-on cleaners that remain in the toilet at all times, as well as for older bowls that may have a more porous surface from overly abrasive cleaning.The blue stains can be removed without removing the water from the bowl.Make sure the product is safe to use with other cleaners.It is important to know if your product contains chlorine bleach or if it is not recommended that you use other chlorine products.One of the easiest ways to remove these stains is to simply drop in a couple denture tablets.These can be used to scrub off dye stains.Oxygen bleach can be used to remove the dye stains.If you don't want to use liquid oxygen bleach, you can use powder, which has increased scrubbing power, and then scrub the bowl.It is possible to sprinkle oxygen bleach on the toilet brush.Allow the bowl to sit for 20 minutes with oxygen bleach in it.If your toilet cleaner does not contain chlorine bleach, isopropyl alcohol can be used.It can remove all sorts of dye stains.If you are sure it is safe to use chlorine bleach, add a small splash to the bowl water and let it sit for 20 minutes before scrubbing.Once the water is removed and the stains are exposed, it will be much easier to remove them.Leaving the water in the bowl makes it harder for the cleaner to reach the stains.Water can be used for extra cleaning power.The paste should be the consistency of peanut butter or toothpaste.Spread it over the stained area.Repeated cleanings may be needed if using alcohol as it dries out much faster than water.You can cover the paste with plastic wrap and use a damp cloth or a toilet brush to remove the stains.The water can be turned back on if you want to wash away the paste.They can be difficult to remove, but persistence is what will get the job done, so if you still want an in-bowl cleaner, switch to a dye-free version.

There are dyes in many toilet bowl cleaners.This is especially true for clip-on cleaners that remain in the toilet at all times, as well as for older bowls that may have a more porous surface from overly abrasive cleaning.The blue stains can be removed from the bowl or below the waterline.

It will be easier to remove the stains once the water is removed.Leaving the water in the bowl makes it harder for the cleaner to reach the stains.Water can be used for extra cleaning power.The paste should be the consistency of peanut butter or toothpaste.Spread it over the stained area.Repeated cleanings may be needed if using alcohol as it dries out much faster than water.You can cover the paste with plastic wrap and use a damp cloth or a toilet brush to remove the stains.The water can be turned back on if you want to wash away the paste.They can be difficult to remove, but persistence is what will get the job done, so if you still want an in-bowl cleaner, switch to a dye-free version.
