How do I get stains out of my toilet? I've tried every product and scrubbed with a brush.?
Answers:
Assuming the stains you are describing are limescale and water marks, I would suggest you remove as much water as you can from the toilet bowl, then apply a toilet bowl cleaner with limescale remover. Cover all the remaining stains and leave over night. Scrub the bowl the following morning and this should have removed the stains. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's safety instructions!
Alternatively make a paste of 1 cup borax with either 1/4 cup of vinegar or lemon juice, apply to the inside of the bowl and leave for a few hours, follow by scrubbing with a scourer.

Pour in bleach and let it sit overnight.
Clorox Bleach. Let it sit for a while then scrub then flush. If that doesn't work, it may need to be resurfaced.
If it's that bad and that stuborn ... why not just replace the entire comode? They are not that expensive and the work is relatively easy .... remember I said relatively. A plumber will charge you more than the toilet is worth, so go to the Library or buy a book at Home Despor or whereever and DIY.

Correct!
pour it in (thick bleach)
leave 12 hours
You can pour chlorine onto the toilet and let it stay there overnight. If nothing happens, try coca-cola
Use a pumas stone..available at walmart..if that doesn't do it...time for a new pottie..
And if none of the above work for you (usually they don't, with really tough, old stains) do this:
Acquire (from WalMart, or any cleaning supply store) a pumice stone. They are absolutely effective in removing stains with only a little water applied to the stone, and the assistance of your elbow grease. It won't be easy, but it's a heck of a lot easier than replacing your toilet! lol
And inexpensive, as well...cost is less than $2 for one stone. I find them in the cleaning section of Wally World, near the Pine Sol's etc. May be called scouring stone.
Oh, and it doesn't harm the enamel or porcelain finish.
