Let me just get to the point and say that I've been EXTREMELY lax with my household cleaning. Anyway, the I've got almost everything covered except the toilet. Right where the porcelain meets the water there's a ring, and from the water portion on down there the worst stains you can imagine, and it's all caked on! Clorox soft scrub got rid of everything above the "ring", but the rest is a hassle. Once the soft scrub hits the water, it dillutes, so it's not like I can let it sit on the stain unless all the water is drained from the toilet(impossible). I've tried the comet scrub, nothing. I even took bleach and let it sit overnight, nothing. Any suggestions? No home remedies, please, just need something super strong that works.

Try CLR - Pour a whole gallon in and let it sit over night. In the morning, scrub with a bristly brush and hopefully that will get the stain to come off. If not, you may just be SOL.

Throw two denture tablets in (pour anoth glass of water in to make sure it comes just above that stain without forcing the toilet to flush) and let them sit overnight. Get up in the morning and scrub it out. Works every time. For the everyday clean bowl, I use the Kaboom product that you put inside your take. It lasts three months and really keeps it clean even with my four boys.Only put it in once you have cleaned the toilet though so you will be starting fresh.

This is hard water stain. Buy a gallon of white vinegar. Before you go to bed, pour all of it in the toilet, and let it sit overnight. You may have to do it more than once but it will do the trick.
Some will tell you muratic acid. This will burn your lungs.

The best answer is the correct one. I am 14 and have fought kids bigger than me and I used the in and out method because I knew from my cousins that are UFC trained that taught me stuff also taught me how to use this method this guy knows what he's talking about and never ever doubt it because if you ask any professional fighter they will tell you the exact same thing for fighting a bigger opponent

Bam toilet bowl cleaner works very well. Then there's always Zap Restorer. I would try the Bam first. The Zap is rumored to be hard on the pipes. God bless!!

That ring is dissolved minerals from your water. Use a small paring knife and scrape it off. Fast, easy, efficient.

Muriatic acid will work - but BE CAREFUL! Make sure the area is WELL VANTILATED! and protect your eyes and hands.
