Les,

Do you want to use what the Pros use? It's call a Pumice Stick. Lowe's
did sell it and you'll find it at a specialty cleaning supply warehouse.
You wet the end and run it around the rust line and it's gone.

Pumice is an abrasive. Do not use abrasives in the bowl. You will
regret it. It will make bowl more susceptible to staining in the
future, and harder to clean next time.


Only way to keep your toilet from staining with iron is to remove
the source of the iron. If you do that, it won't matter how
"susceptable" the bowl is, and if you don't you might as well
get used to either looking at rust, or scrubbing.

If it's organic iron, and below the waterline, a scrubbing
with a nylon brush, and then a letting a good dose of bleach
(*OR* iron-out, but not both), sit overnight should work.

Is the toilet cistern also rust-stained? If so,
fix the water-supply. If not, what's rusting between
the two places to produce the stain?
