Whats the best way to clean a dirty, stained toilet bowl?

Answer 1

You can purchase a pumice stone can be purchased at a hardware store or in Walmart think they are in the nail and foot care section, put on rubber gloves and use the stone to scrub, this will remove lime and rust pretty quick.

Answer 2

Actually yes you can. This dips earlier are flat wrong... this is 90 percent the solution. Assuming you scrubbed with an SOS pad fairly strong there is something else you can try. Most of my issue was below the waterline. First turn off the water, then flush, soak up the rest with a towel if you can't get it to go down. Then use a Mr Clean magic eraser along with Ajax or comet using a couple to three heaping tablespoons of cleaning powder go after that stain with a little water with a vengeance, this will remove 80 percent of the stain if it was a standard pad that caused it. Then use CLR or hardwater remover let stand above the stain for 10 minutes or longer, then flush. Finally repeat the comet or ajax treatment slowly fill water above the stain line then add about one cup of bleach to the water, let stand for 6 hours. Do not flush just let it sit and soak. This works only if the scratches werent all the way through the glaze, mostly toilets its fairly thick. next time remember clean your toilet with comet once a week and you wont' ever have to deal with a ring!

Answer 3

Sounds like rust and hard water to me. While CLR and The Works will work, there is a less harsh cleaner that works just as well. It is made by Lysol and comes in a black bottle. Simply use generously and let soak as long as possible and then use a toilet brush to scrub away what's left. If the deposits have been there for a long time, they may have etched the bowl and there is nothing that can be done about that. Good luck!

Answer 4

Lemon juice and a pumice stone. Pour lemon juice on the pumice stone then scrub the stain using light pressure.

Answer 5

Buy a whole lemon slice it in-half rub on stain. Or buy lemon juice, pour it in the toilet let sit 10 mins. then scrub.

Answer 6

Get the Lysol brand toilet cleaner with bleach and use a toilet scrubber. Have fun! :)

Answer 7

Neurotic Acid it will get rid of anything. you just have to be careful when you use it. wear gloves, don't use other chemicals around it at the same time. My dads house we used it because we had a lot of iron in our water. use it 50-50 water and Neurotic Acid .

Answer 8

Get a new one. Unless its an old one thats not low/flow. If so use lime away/clr.

Answer 9

Muriatic acid works wonders. This is VERY potent and needs to be used VERY carefully.

Answer 10

Pumice stones work better than anything, you can find them in grocery or hardware stores.
