Default Use of Lime-away in toile

Meirman:

M I had a toilet that didn't get cleaned often and I guess it was
M running too, because it developed stains above the water line.

Leaky flapper allowing water from the tank to leak through?


M So I used Lime-away, and after several applications, all the stains
M were gone. But now, maybe it is my imagination, but the toilet seems
M to get dirty faster than any other toilet. Is it possible that the
M hydrochloric acid in the product damages my toilet???

It's possible the chemical etched the porcelain, causing minute pores
for the various gunkies to take hold. Probably best just to replace
the toilet, which will also take care of the leakage problem. If you
have clog problems be sure to get a toilet with a large diameter exit
hole (at the bottom) and the trap is fully glazed.
