    The blue rings are from copper in your water supply. Believe it or not, one method to handle them is to pour a can of cola (soda pop) in your toilet, let it sit a while, then brush thoroughly and flush. The acid in the cola is the key.

    And here's another fun one: for the yellow plastic you need to whiten, soak them in hydrogen peroxide solution! In the sun if you need it to go faster. Worked great, even on 30 year old Legos. Do NOT use bleach, it will make the plastic brittle.

    Try a Mr Clean Magic Eraser on the handles of your fridge! I find it works really well getting into those little bumpy areas on the handles! I always rinse mine off with a wet cloth after I clean them! Good luck!!

    Coca cola brand works best on blue stains. Also try not to have a lot of water in the bowl. When I cleaned houses I kept a couple of 2 liter bottles of coke with me as it also does wonders on bathtub rustic, soap scum, dirty patio floors, tools with rust.

    First, shut the water off that goes to the toilet , Flush. Next fill the bowl until it reaches past the ring. Put some bleach, 2 cups, and 1 cup of baking soda, so it's past the rings. Let sit for 3 hours, then scrub the bowl. Turn the water back on and flush. If this is not working try hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda, same method. Try a stain remover for clothes on the handles, Spray n Wash whatever. Good Luck!
