use muriatic acid it cleans much better
put some in bowl and some in dip tube overflow.
this will clean out the interior toilet passages and works great.
wait 1/2 hour and flush repeatedly.
may not be good idea with a septic tank
I'm on a septic and that's why I hadn't used it. If I'm inclined, I'll
pull the toilet and take it out into the north forty and use the acid.
Might be worth while to get a better flow out of the rim outlets.

No need to remove the toilet. Neutralize the acid, using baking soda
before you flush it. Fizzing of the acid will stop. Should do no harm
in the septic when flushed.
....just sayin'
