Tip: Get rid of the dreaded ring in the toilet!

I hate those rings!!! I'm trying this for sure!!Thank you!

I am also trying this! Thank you so much!

I used a razor blade to scrape the ring. but it creates scratches that need bleach later, Does the pumice create the same scratches?

I've used a pumice stone for the toilet ring for at least 25 years and never had an issue with scratching the china bowl.

The inside of my tank is stained from hard water would it work on it?

What a great idea!

wouldn't the pumice damage the porcelain or china wear it away???

i use vinegar it works for me

if you can take the smell bleach works great also. just raise the water level above the line of buildup and add a cup of bleach and let it soak. ive also used the pumice but found it scratched a bit. .

I use a product called Bar Keepers Friend. It works great on the toilet ring and many other areas as well.

Pumice stone should not scratch. I've used this as well as a piece of old brick. They're both abrasive but softer than the toilet bowl.

It won't scratch the porcelain bowl??

Seems as though it would~

hot boiled water and vinager is the way for me.

Any ideas for removing copper stains from the toilet bowl? Will the pumice stone work on those?

Connie - I would try Lime Away or CLR. Good luck!

CLR and lime away are great but when u have sepice tanks it's an issue u have to check and see if it's safe for sepice use

You can use CLR and Lime-A-Way on your toilets and showers, but you have to be diligent about replacing and creating the right bacteria in your septic system. One good way is to flush a can of cat or dog food at LEAST once a month to help create the good bacteria that keeps our septic systems and drain fields in good working order

True but good bacteria for septic tank I use one pkg. Yeast every once a month just pour in your toilet and flush

Just add a 500 ml. bottle of coke to your bowl.

I've only used bleàch. One day my curiosity got the best of me and I tried the can of Coke. Guess what? It worked.

I tried a pumice stone and got black scratch marks which will not come off. Bleach, scouring powder, CLR.....nothing works.

I pour vinegar and then add Bon Ami (doesn't scratch). Let it set for about 15 minutes and brush the bowl. I found adding vinegar to the tank a couple times a year to clear out the gunk made a big difference.

I had a blue ring around my toilet and nothing worked.i tried baking soda whitite vinegar,clorox. Comet, bleach line away cor. Nothing worked.then I tried the WORKS.

You. Cannot find it everywhere.i found it at piggy wiggly store. My blue ring is gone as well as calcium and soap scrum build up.it is fantastic

Get a bottle of Vani Sol and make sure you also use it up under the flush ring. Use a scrubber on a handle to get under the lip.

Try dawn dish soap. Let set a bit, brush off

You will be amazed

One of the few chemical cleaners I keep on hand is ZEP. I used to have to swish my toilet bowl every day, after using Zep, I only have to swish it every 3 weeks.

WalMart, Lowes or Home Depot. It is an acidic chemical cleaner, but I have never had anything work as well as this does. I have limited my chemical use to Zep and Krud-Cutter--but I think I can phase out Krud Cutter.

You guys are nice-I use muratic acid

Works great & lasts quite a while

WalMart sells just the thing (rectangular pumice stone) in the cleaning department for less than $2.00. Works great!

Hello I like this idea but I just want what is e Pumice stone and how is look like

thanks

same thing happened to me DeAnna. but the bleach will get rid of the line .

Try pouring vinegar in the toilet.

I use Clorox cleaner with bleach and a bowl brush.

We ordered a Pumie brush online (can probably purchase at a store) and it worked wonders, I forgot to take a before photo, but I was amazed, my relatively new toilet that had stains looked like a new toilet. I have had to use it one more time as some of the stains were coming back, but very pleased with the product and definitely recommend.

I tried vinegar, Kool Aid, most everything people recommended, but the Pumie stick did the job.

Yes, a pumice stone they work great.

THIS IS YOUR ANSWER ABOUT TOILET RING. Call Lowe's home store. Order the ACTICLEAN TOILET. It is by American Standard. Tell them you want it installed by them. Buy extra cleaning solutions from them, cheaper. I have told so many people about this toilet. We have had it for seven months. I cleaned the inside once with a swish of the toilet brush. That's it. It does have a kind of loud flush if you have to worry about a light sleeper just on the other side of a thin wall . I could kiss whoever came up with this toilet. I never have to be worried about being embarrassed. It is always spotless. And here's another tip. Go online and buy a 2 0z or whatever bottle of Poo-pourri for each of you bathrooms, so no bad smells bother anyone ever again. To save money go to Amazon and buy a large bottle for refills.

Agree completely, 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.

I buy my toilet bowl brushes in the $ store and discard them about once a month.

Once a week I drop one dishwater pod in the toilet tank.

Ihave found the pumice stones scratch another way for stains to hide..I use a solution of dawn dishliquid and peroxide.just a few drops in a bottle of peroxide does so many jobs!also dollar general has a tablet denture cleaner that works well home depot and other home stores sell a different type of stone often used for kitchen grills good luck every one take care of you too!

Try denture tabs innexpensive ones ...drop two in bowl works great ...

I use magic eraser with Ajax. Works great. I have also used the denture tabs, you need to leave those in overnight.

Hi Teresa: Great idea. I scrub mine every night before bed, so I don't have the rings. Another thing to do is to get a mirror and look at those little holes around the rim. They can get clogged up and icky. I clean them once a week. And, after using the toilet, keep a bottle of room spray or cheap perfume in there and when the bowl is filling up, spray a couple or 5 squirts into the water. Makes the room smell nice ;)

I love pumice stone for this as well, I haven't found anything that works as well on the toilet bowl!
