Toilet rings? How to remove them?

[TripleAAA]

I just moved into an apartment and whoever lived here in the past obviously didnt scrub the toilet very often (if at all).

Anyone have any remedies to remove those brownish rings inside the toilet right at the water line? I've used several toilet cleaners before like Lysol Toilet bowl cleaner, and Kaboom, but neither of them remove it.

Anybody know of somethin that will do the trick?

Thanks

Get a new toilet.

If they bother you that bad hand in your man card.

Try CLR.

just pour bleach into the bowl and let it sit over night

I got some of that, but doesn't seem to do the trick either. Should I let it soak overnight maybe?

No, I think that would be very bad. Are you draining the toilet before you try to clean it, or are you cleaning it with water in it?

Hmm, cleaning with water in it. Do I have to disconnect something to keep the water running back in?

There should be a pipe behind the toilet with a knob on it... I assume if you turn that knob and flush it twice, you'd have an empty bowl... but I'm not a plumber.

Local acidisation with HCl work well on metallic depositories embedded in old (uranium hexafluoride base) glazing. Those bowls give user bath of 20kcpm of alpha and gamma too! Talk about getting hot ass!

Depend on ring though.

Muriatic acid will remove rust stains well from old toilets that make the geiger counter tick.

I used Drano to remove the rings at my old apartment.

I seem to remember hearing that Coke does a good job of cleaning porcelain. I've never tried it myself so I don't know if it's true or not, but if you have some lying around and you've tried everything else, maybe it's worth a shot.

Your apartment had rings? Who lived there, monkeys?

Regardless of what cleaner you use, its going to be elbow grease thats gets it out.

When I moved in to my first apartment, I went on a 14 day vacation shortly after I moved in. When I came back, the rings were there. I used CLR and green scrub pads to scrub them off.

Be ready to get your hands (possibly arms) dirty.

Muratic Acis IS HCL (Hydrochloric Acid) . . . it's the generic name.

After only two weeks, any toilet cleaner and a toilet brush should be able to handle it... no need to stick your hands in the water...

i used scrubbing bubbles. it worked great

A few cups of bleach in the bowl overnight works wonders. You might have to plug the drain with something to get the water level above the actual ring.

I'll go with the bleach idea. Just don't forget to flush before pissing in the toilet again, or you'll gag yourself with fumes.
