Default Limescale Removal

Hi Guys,
I rent out a property and the toilet bowl is heavily limescaled
in the pan below the water line. What is the best product/solution to
remove it?


I use DILUTE!!! Hydrochloric acid. Use rubber gloves and eye protection.
Open the window first. Chlorine gas is given off as it reacts with the
limescale.


It shouldn't be.

Carbon dioxide is given off actually.

Leaves the pan as clean as a whistle. I'm not sure where you get
it in the UK, builders merchants perhaps. In France you can get it in any
supermarket.


Its called brick acid or patio cleaner.
