Pumice stones work great and you can even buy them in the grocery store, some even come with handles
It's called. The Works toilet bowl cleaner. Dollar General is probably the cheapest place I've seen it. Great on hard water buildup.
I add about a half cup CLR to water in the bowl, slosh it around, and let it sit overnight. It may take several treatments to get it clean depending on how bad it is. If you've scrubbed the stains with an abrasive you will have created very fine scratches that attract the lime in the water and you'll have to soak it more often. The first time I did it some of the deposits were above the water line. To raise the water level for soaking, I plugged up the drain with a rubber ball and layers of thin foam to create a water tight seal. Fill the bowl with enough water to cover the deposits and let it stand. Pain in the neck, but it works.
need more info-what color are the stains. Lime build-up, hard water? Glaze could be worn off if it's an old toilet
CLR used to work great but they have taken the chemical out that used to work just like lime away
