    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.

    They are found at my local Walmart for less than two dollars -good for multiple uses. Be sure to follow the use instructions, soak 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.

    I like Barkeepers Friend for other stubborn areas -might suggest pipecleaners ( more than one) to see if that can clear away stains and mineral deposits and residue to clear the small water holes at the top.

    I squeeze some Dawn dish liquid in the toilet. Then pour in some vinegar. Swish around with a toilet brush to foam it up. Let it sit for an hour or two. The scrub/swish around with the toilet brush and flush. The suds suspend the vinegar above the water line.

    If comet doesn't work try a mixture of bleach and baking soda. Get it to the state where it forms a thick paste. Then spread the paste on the stain and let it sit for about a hour. Rinse. That is what I do.

    You have to clean the tank as well....Pour baking soda in followed by white vinegar,do the same with the toilet bowl,use the pumice stone after the other has sat on look enough to help with the stains

  • Try a product called 'Scouring Stick'. It's pumice.
