Pump out all the standing water from the u-bend with a bog brush or
whatever first and re-fill with the above. Leave overnight.

i just took a closer look at this when i got home
not only does this show that you updated your preferences but it also shows that it was as expected!!!

I have had some success with some of these calcium lime rust removers available in most stores. CLR was one of the brands I used but you have to be careful if you have a septic system. Could mess with the flora.

As you have said it is not a big job but the key is to empty the bowl of water and shut the water off for a while.

if it sits long enough it will come off the way tartar does when the hygienist cleans your teeth

one really strange thing I bought that was really effective - a pumice brush. It is not a rock, but some sort of agglomeration of pumice particles on a stick so you can reach in the well or the rim of the bowl.

I thought it was going to be a useless purchase but it just about ripped the build up off without you having to stick your hand in the water. Very abrasive but absolutely did not scratch the ceramic. I found it was useful for a lot of other housework and outdoor work.
