Default Experiment removing brown toilet bowl stains with various acids

My only question is: How did the porcelain fare? Any deterioration
of the glassy smooth surface?



From what? The hydrochloric (muriatic) acid? Not a chance.

The glassy smooth surface is just that: glass. Acid - except hydrofloric -
is stored in glass containers (or, nowadays, plastic ones). One could also
use sulphuric (battery) acid. Or nitric. You could even mix up some aqua
regia (hydrochloric + nitric) and be good as gold. Except if the commode
was gold plated.
