Removing a stubborn stain re: toilet bowl

[Pulpo]

The toilet bowl has a brown stain on the bottom.

The toilet is a couple of years old.

I have tried using a strong mixture of bleach, which was left to soak.

Then scrubbed to no effect.

It seems as though something has calcified on the bottom.

I need some sort of strong chemical that will not damage the toilet bowl enamel.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Many thanks

I'd recommend a change of diet :eek:

You could try CLR Clear.

I've used soldering flux - 'Duzall' to good effect. Won't hurt the glaze, but attacks stains. Hydrochloric acid, methinks.

Do you have a a cat ?

Cover it with white king and hold it by the tail while dropping it in the bowl. All the thrashing around cleans the sides beautifully. When finished, release tail and flush. Bingo, no more stain, no more cat.

What a waste of good food.

I have two cats... that's very nasty Gumby You apologise right now.

Yep you need an acid. CLR or tile and grout cleaner or Coke or generic phosphoric acid will do. Pool acid (HCl) also will do...

ours is about 30 years old and has the same problem
i'm guessing maybe the enamel wears out over time
i bought a new bowl to solve the problem

Finally a good reason to get a cat.

Your toilet bowl can be re-enameled if you do this in a brown colour you can save a fortune on cats, white king, CLR and other cleaners

makes finding floaters & skidmarks a bit more difficult

If you use the cat method, run it through the washing machine to get rid of the chemicals before tying it in the crab-pot!

Or you could just try a heavy dose of Oxalic Acid instead of bleach.
