The apartment I've just moved into is very nice, apart from the fact
that the toilet is encrusted with an appalling amount of limescale
around the rim etc.

I would be interested to know of your recommendations as to the best
stuff to use to banish it. What would be the best form of abrasive
for tackling this?

Thanks in advance.



Angle grinder



If you block the thing up with a rag, fill to the brim, and leave
overnight, even weak acid like citric will do it. Sulphamic (Fernox
descaler) is better (and easy to use) but I don't like the fumes from
hydrochloric (brick acid) indoors
