I north London here the water is quite hard (i.e. a lot of chalk in
it), so we easily get limescale
build up in the bend of the wc bowl.


Using Harpic Limescale Remover has shifted most of it, but that seems
to have left the porcelain area under water a kind of a dirty colour.
I then used a lot more Harpic, but nothing has improved. Although it
does seem to come off a bit with lots of hard brushing. Anyone any
idea if this Harpic could be causing this?


Use a pumice stone.

It works and alot cheaper than the chemicals. :-)


Have you tried cola? Sounds daft but I pushed out most of the water
with the loo brush and filled with cola. Did it when I went to work,
flushed when I came home...and voila...a clean loo bowl. Have used
white vinegar in the past as well, works well.

Thanks for all suggestions. With regard to the pumice stone idea, surely
that would take the gloss of the glaze?
