I've been battling with limescale build-up for years. Then I saw the

Pushed out as much water from the bowl as possible by repeatedly
plunging the toilet brush down it.

Drained the residual water using a turkey baster (about 5 minutes).

Dried the bowl with industrial floor wipe.

Squirted a good 1/3 of the bottle all over the limescale.

Left it for 6 hours. The limescale had melted away completely, leaving
a pristine white bowl as if it were brand-new.

Oh, and I put the turkey baster in the garage with a label on it "not
for food use".

I think it's the method rather than the product that's led to your
success. In my experience, Tesco's own brand limescale remover is more
effective than Mr Muscle's.

Well, although I didn't say in my first post that I had tried other
products, I *had* tried toilet cleaners (though not specifically
*limescale* destroyers) from: Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda. All got the
bowl ~somewhat~ clean, but I have to admit, I did NOT completely dry
the bowl BEFORE applying those alternative products. Had I done so,
yes, I may have received exactly the same result.

But my feeling is that the Mr Muscle product is a different
formulation and is specifically (says so on the bottle) a limescale
*destroyer*.

Anyway, it'll be months before I need it again.
