Pumice stone.
Pour enough bleach into the bowl, enough to cover the ring. Let sit overnight. Scrub the next morning. Repeat if needed.
So sorry you have had to go through a divorce, sometimes things just don't work out as expected, a long period of time is needed to get to know the other person in all conditions possible.
Now for the toilet...Manny, you should have been up on this!!!!
Cleaning the toilet is not just "women's work", you use it too. Soft scrub and a good toilet brush does a good job...in your case, try the pumice stone. Or try CLR, available at diy stores.
Its a frustrating situation, then I discovered the answer and Ive been smiling since!
I have tried many of the hacks, tips and tricks to include koolaid and they have failed.
My solution was the pumice stick. This is excellent way to remove stains and rings in the toilet. When commercial toilet cleaners fail -this is my go to. Great for thick crusted calcium mineral build up that the toilet waterbowl collcts.
They are found at my local Walmart for less than two dollars -good for multiple uses.
Be sure to follow the use instructions, soaking the pumice stone in water for a few minutes. While the stone is soaking, grab your toilet brush and splash water up around the ring. Note: It’s very important to keep both the stone and the surface wet while cleaning to avoid scratching your porcelain.
Hi Manny,
If the ring has built up over some time it will take more than one go to fix it. Try using Toilet cleaner for Calcium build up AND LEAVE IT OVER NIGHT! Best wishes.
Hi Manny, have you tried a magic eraser? You can cut one in half and let half of one soak in the toilet water. Use the other half to scrub the toilet clean.
We are on well water and it is not rings that I get but streaks that don’t want to come off. My daughter in law turned me on to a pumice cleaning stick with handle which you can get through Amazon. Works like a charm.
Boiling water is a bad idea, it can crack the bowl if it's cold. Try the pumice stone that was suggested. It really works well, with some elbow grease.
