I north London here the water is quite hard (i.e. a lot of chalk in

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?


You'd think so, but no it really doesn't. You can always to a test patch if
you're not a believer :-)
