| Have you dumped a bunch of vinegar in there and let it set and scrubbed it?

| I go to Janitorial supply places and get speed-E. I have found anything in the stores that works on tough stains. I use the speed-E on tough laundry and carpet stains also

| Gina, I swear to you the only thing I have ever used in a toilet bowl is, ready for this? COMET! Yep, plain comet. I have never had a stain in all the years I have cleaned a bowl! It is sparkling and shinny. The cleanser lightly scrubs the inside and the bleach keeps it from staining. It may take you a couple times in doing it since yours is discoloring but sprinkle Comet in and leave it there for about an hour before flushing. Do it again in a couple of days. If you have more than one bathroom leave it in overnight. In 48yrs I have not used anything else. I have tried those deordorizers you put in the back of the tank that is suppose to clean the bowl. All they do is turn into scum in the tank! YUK. Comet does the trick for me. |

| Gina I've never tried this but I've heard pumice stones are the best if nothing else works. Pumie Brand Pumice Stone Toilet Bowl Ring Remover Good luck! eta- I would think you could use a regular old pumice made for feet, just provided the link so you could read how it's used.

| Hummm, seeing that your in NY, i take it is not limerock build up like we get in FL. We used to get rings too, when we redid our baths we decided to put a water softner in, no rings anymore!!!! Oh and the dishwasher runs spot free too! Hope you find an easy solution.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Cream of Tartar apparently works wonders on many things, including porcelain. It is quite the bleaching agent I guess. So, you could rub some into the stain and scrub a bit - and apparently the stain disappears.

| I would think that Comet and pumic would make the bowl to porous, I used some kind of cleaner in one of my toliets a long time ago, it was blue, and I can't get the blue stains off. Guess I will try comet anyway.

| And if the Pumice doesn't do the trick, nothing will. I have a pot right now that nothing worked on for getting the ring out. Found out it was just embedded, so now we are going to buy a new toilet. (I love new things........even a toilet hehe)
