Toilet. Cleaning Advice Appreciated.

Sundae · 06-05-2011, 01:14 PM

I'm going to try the bicarb paste first.
The trouble with the Coke is that these marks are above the waterline, so they will simply get a cola shower as opposed to soaking in it.

One of the things which we can't puzzle out is that she uses limescale remover already. And none of the marks are raised. Or notably indented on the flip side - neither are they in places that get particular scrubbing. Argh.

Toilets and plumbing are expensive. Approx £200+ (parts & labour).
Of course when it comes down to it they will have to work it out between them. I know how important it is to her. I also know Dad will refuse to spend the money while they still have a functioning WC.

Thanks for the responses.
I will get back to you.

get a plastic bag and fill it with some rocks. Put the bag in the toilet. The water level will rise.

Thank you Aesop.

Thank you Aesop.

It may work for birds and using it in a closed container...
But in the present case, it won't...

You're working with a siphon here. If you put a rock in it, water will first rise, then fall to its previous level because of the evacuation on the other side.

Yeah, if you want it to be soaking in cleanser, get some toilet paper soaking wet with that cleanser, and stick it to the stain.

Smash the toilet accidentally (drop something heavy on it - a plant pot full of grungy rainwater that you were emptying into the loo bowl (or say that's what it was

). Dad will buy a new one. Problem solved.
