There is a black greasy stain on my toilet bowl I have having trouble
removing. I have tried the usual toilet brush, scouring with scotchbrite pads, steel wool,using liquid soap, detergent, toilet bowl cleaner formulas, paint thinner and concentrated sulphuric acid. Most of the stain is gone but two streaks remain as well as a thin blackish greasy smear over the bowl that seems to only move around when I use steel wool on them. The stain follows the water flush "track" from the toilet bowl. I think it is from the disintegrating rubber from the flapper valve or the rubber seal between the tank and the bowl. They're are 20 plus years old and due for replacement. Is there a rubber solvent I can use or is there some method I have not thought of? |
