I've tried LimeAway, CLR and bleach. Anything else you know of?

I just had the same problem, so I look on the net. The best solution I found was to turn off the water at the toilet, flush a couple of times to get the water out of the tank. Then with gloves, remove any water left in the bowl. My stain was in the bottom of the bowl. Pour Vinegar in the bowl, let it sit for a hour or two, come back and brush and it should all be gone. It's usually caused by mineral deposits. Turn back on the water let the tank fill and flush. Should take care of the problem. If you have a few areas that don't exactly come clean, when you brush just use a little elbow grease. Mine is good as new now.

We have very hard water - a lot of calcium. To clean it, I turn the water off to the toilet and flush to get the water level completely below the stain and then keep the stains wet with CLR. Since all of the stains are under the rim and right at the water line, I have to keep dabbing on CLR. Once the calcium deposits have softened up enough, I carefully scrape it off.

Believe it or not-Coke Cola will eat away all stains. Do not use Diet it won't work. Get regular coke and pour in the bowl and let it soak for an hour or so. Flush and it should sparkle. If it's heavily stained, I'd use a 2 liter bottle. Good luck!

vinegar. pour the bottle into the bowl, swish it around, then let it set. after about a half hour, swish with a brush and it should go away.
Then pour in laundry bleach and let set. Then swish again with the brush.
Many people say to use a pumice stone. It will scratch the bowl and make the problem worse in the long run. The scratches will give the hard water a place to cling to.

COCA COLA. It'll work. Just pour the soda into the toilet, let stand for about an hour, swish with a toilet brush with some cleanser.

Dollar General sells a product call The Works for the toilet. It really works. Also one for the Tub/Shower. Walmart carries it as well.

try making use of Baking soda and White Vinegar and scrub which incorporate your lavatory brush and go away for greater or less twenty 5 minutes then brush returned and flush, your black marks could be long gone If technique above does not do away with your black marks after making use of try making use of a purifier like Comet or Ajax on your lavatory bowl and scrub, or maybe Bar keepersfriend form cleansers will paintings. good success !

If the stains aren't too bad try Efferdent tablets or any type denture tablets put a few in and let sit for a few hours.
