We just installed a new toilet and we have had it in two weeks and there is rust stains inside the bowl down?

Question

the back. We do not have hard water we have a culligan water softener/ filtration system to take care of that. The rust stains we think came from the water line? How do we remove these stains with out harming the porcelain inside the bowl. Thank you for any help with this.

Answer 1

There is a product called Whink Rust and Stain Removal it works wonders!

I find it in the grocery store, however you might try looking in the hardware store if your grocery store doesn't carry it.

Here is their web site if you have trouble locating it. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Try Using CLR (it says it removes rust). You should turn the water off and flush and then you can use it full strength. Use a bowl brush and scrub the rust off. Since it is a new toilet, maybe the rust was just from the pipes and installation and will probably not come back. Good luck.

Oh yeah CLR stands for Calcium, Lime, Rust (of course since Lime is basically Calcium I don't know why then need to say that :)

We have culligan & I still need to remove rust stains once in a while. We use "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner. It's available in the dollar stores & in grocery stores.

Answer 4

You probably have heavy mineral deposits in your water. A product called CLR will remove the stains. I have the same problem in my toilet at our weekend house in upstate NY. The water in the tank holds the deposits. Bleach tabs work but they can harm the gaskets between the tank and bowl. I'm going to try a little CLR in the tank every once in awhile...

Answer 5

First I would try one of the rust removing products like CLR. If that doesn't remove the rust, you can use a pumice stone made for cleaning porcelain.
