Can you use a manicure pumice stone to clean mineral off a toilet bowl or is it a special stone?

Answer 1

I would recommend trying the cleaning product CLR. it is said to remove those tough build-ups.

Answer 2

I've used pumice to clean the toilet bowl, but I bought the one made for cleaning the toilets. It was like pressed together, and seemed to dissolve/wear as you used it. I think it did this to not scratch the porcelain as bad. The pumice stone you describe may be too hard to safely use without damaging your bowl.

Answer 3

I would not use anything abrasive, as scratching the finish will cause it to collect dirt faster. If you live anywhere near a farm supply store, purchase some milk-stone remover. It's a mild acid, I believe phosphoric acid, and will dissolve mineral deposits on toilet bowls and other plumbing fixtures. Just be sure to rinse it off well after allowing it a little time to work.

Answer 4

CLR works really well, check in the cleaning supply section at your grocery store. If you use anything that scratches the porcelain surface, the mineral deposits will come back 10 fold. You need a product that break down the minerals.

Good luck.
