Q: How do you get rid of the ring in the toilet without scratching the surface?
Tip #1: After I clean my toilet I drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into the water. The effect it leaves on the bowl is great but it depends on how bad the ring is.
Tip #2: I use a Magic Eraser that I keep in both my bathrooms only for that purpose. No scrubbing & it comes right off.
Tip #3: Try a product called "Lime Away" - magic in a bottle!
Tip #4: Rubbing the ring with Pumice stone, even hard water rings, will do the job.
Tip #5: I had deposits so bad that draining the water and sanding and scraping didn't take it out. "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner took about 95% of it out. I'll do a second application one of these days and try for the remaining 5%.
Tip #6: When we moved into our home, our toilet had horrible rings
that nothing seemed to get rid of. Then I found "Bar Keeper's Friend" &
what a great cleaning friend it is! Also good on bathtub water rings
(the ones that don't come off with other cleaners). You just sprinkle it
on, let it sit for a minute & scrub with a toilet/scrub brush. It is a
mild abrasive, so you need to be careful what surfaces you use it on...Aaron
Tip #7: For very stubborn toilet stains (rust, etc.) use meuratic
acid. Pour a small amount into toilet or sink and let it sit for a few
minutes, then swish with a toilet brush (be sure to use gloves to
protect your hands and be sure bathroom is well ventilated-this is acid!)...Sheila
Tip #8: 3M sanding sponge. Even really stubborn stains come out in about 10 seconds...Nate
Tip #9: I discovered that Vitamin C tablets work just like meuratic acid. Drop a handful in the toilet and let it be for a while then flush. Of course this is a Man's idea and we are lazy and don't like to work hard...Coy
