How to clean a toilet when you have REALLY hard mineral water?
just moved into a new house and the water here is absolutely terrible. It comes out looking yellow even! It's scary because it's SO hard to get things clean and white again. A problem I am having is the toilet in the upstairs bathroom though. It is stained from the minerals in the hard water we have. I have tried a lot of the regular toilet bowl cleaners (the Lysol and Clorox brands) but they don't really get those stains out! It's embarrassing because it LOOKS like it's never been cleaned. Does anybody know how to get these toilet bowl stains out without having to replace the darn thing (because it's just going to have that build-up again and again)?

which uses a pumice stone to get most of the minerals off of the toilet bowl. It can be really hard to do a hard water stain removal but it can be done without having to replace the toilet. Don't give up and give the above a shot! :) It worked for me the first time around and it really doesn't take hardly any time once you get use to it.

I've never had a problem with this before but I did some research on google and a lot of people say a dollar store brand called The Works will get rid of it.

I know it smells horrible, but the best thing to use to get white, White again is bleach. You may have to let it sit for a few hours
