Needing to clean out a toilet cistern is a failure of design. The downstairs toilet in the house I grew up in is over 30 years old and has never been cleaned.

- thaeli 6y agoExactly. I do hasten to add that the toilet BOWL still gets cleaned - but I've never needed to clean out the tank.

- jandrese 6y agoUnless you are softening your water this is inevitable. That said your typical cistern can build up a lot of scale without affecting the performance of the toilet. It's one of those jobs you only have to do once every 10-20 years.
