The other half swears by this
Leave it in as long as poss, and no I don't work for Harpic
Thanks but this was one that did not work
And you pour it on the bowl not into the water.
Take a photo, show it to the old git and tell hem how much he is going to have to pay for a new toilet now.
The tightfistedness in him may well decide that it's better to flush instead
Yes, you do pour it in the bowl but it has to go down into the water because that is where the stains are.
I am trying coca cola tonight.
Thanks

This looks just the job but I would not want qty 6. Is is possible to get one anywhere?
Thanks
How do you empty the bowl of water? It just keeps filling up.
Thanks for the feedback james
I would go for denture tablets next. Put a bucket of hot tapwater (not boiling) into the pan first.
I gather you've tried bleach cleaners, lime cleaners and acid cleaners, none of which have worked. It would be useful to have a list of what you've tried to save re-suggesting the same thing. Have you tried the Harpic tablets in the black carton?
You are using a stiff nylon loo brush as well as the cleaning materials?
What colour is the inside of the cistern? Photo would be nice.
I once lived in a cottage with pumped water from a well. Despite the filter, it used to leave brown traces from organic material or mud.

Look on the bright side. It will make any skid marks less noticeable!
Sorry. I know, not helpful.
For the last two nights I have used another version of Harpic - Power Plus Max 10 Actions.
Together with JohnD tip about using a nylon brush (I used a cloth as was worried to scratch it) all the visible stuff has gone.
I put my head in the bowl and could see a load of nasty black stuff up the bend otherwise it all looks
nice and back to new.
Thanks all for help.
