Rubber gloves and a pumice stick

Pumice stick

I like a product called The Works toilet bowl cleaner.

Lysol toilet bowl cleaner is made from hydrochloric acid. I thing that would dissolve hard water stains. If not, CLR will dissolve them. Need to shut off the water supply and empty the bowl first. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection.

The pumice stick is the only thing I found that works. However, make sure you keep the stick wet as you work.

I had terrible hard water. I used to pour a cup or so of vinegar in there, wait an hour, then scrub it out with a brush.

I've also used The Works. It works, but it's strong and the fumes are pretty toxic.

Another vote for the pumice stick here. I'd never heard of it until GW, and it was a lifesaver! We were considering replacing the toilet in our kids bath until I found this, nothing else worked. Now it looks brand new!

Sno Bowl works great on hard water stain. Have bought in Walmart. Wet a folded paper towel with the cleaner and lay it directly on stains (use gloves) let work for hour or so.

How do you maneuver the pumice stick on the toilet bowl? I couldn't manage it! Thanks!

Buy some inexpensive rubber gloves that you can throw away. You need to keep the stone wet so you need to constantly dip it back down into the water. (Actually the ring is right at the water level in my toilet so keeping the stone wet is not hard. I am actually working right at the water level>) What I do is to flush and locate the ring, then I thoroughly wet the stone, and begin to use sort of a scraping or scrubbing movement right on the ring. Do it carefully so as not to scratch the bowl. I flush a couple of times to see how I am coming along. In other words I flush so I can see how the ring looks, how much more needs to be removed, and where to scrub. Just make sure to keep the stone wet. I throw my gloves away and store the stone in a plastic ziplock bag in the bottom cabinet til I need it again. I hope this makes sense.

Also there are a couple of youtube videos on how to use the stone. I haven't watched them but did locate some. I typed in "pumice stone to remove toilet ring" and found them.

Try a product called DeleteGerm; works great and can also be used in the toilet tank. Check Handyman Charlie Chuoke's website or internet sites.
