Will this get out hard water stains in my toilet? I'm desperate!

Never tried it but my water softener guy told me to get cleaner for glass stove tops. It shouldn't scratch porcelain. I will try it soon myself.

Try The Works for your toilet. Sold by several stores including Wal-Mart. Best toilet cleaning product I have ever used.

I had this same problem in a apartment for 2 years after moving in!! You can try this BKF, but also what worked for me was Lysol/Clorox (can't remember which one) toilet bowl cleaner - but get the one that looks strongest (I picked one with bleach). Pour it on...but let it sit for 20-25 min instead of brushing off right away. After that, come back, brush some off & do a second coat. There's still a little grossness, but for the most part, that took care of it.

hey!! i actually know the answer to your problem. i used to live in a house with a well and for the first time in my life, had hard water stains in my toilet. i didn't even know what they were for awhile (i had grown up with city water) but i couldn't get rid of them for the life of me. i don't know how i found them, but i bought something called "pumice sticks" and the hard water stains rubbed right off!!!! i can't understand how they didn't scratch the toilet itself, but they didn't. i just checked and amazon sells them - do a search on pumice sticks. and frankly, i see that they sell them with handles - get those!! mine were just rectangle blocks and even with gloves, i hated having to actually stick my hands into my toilet and scrub away. a handle would have been a nice option. good luck!!

I'm not sure but I know everything else I tried for my tub didn't work, but this did and for the price it's well worth a try!

I haven't tried it for that, but I suspect it would work...with a fair bit of elbow grease. Perhaps dropping a couple of denture cleaners in first, then using BKF would make it easier? We used to use a product called The Works for hard water stains. Works a charm, but it's extremely caustic.

I completely agree with the person who recommend the Works Original from Walmart. Before you use it also buy from Walmart (in the toilet cleaner area) a pumie (pumice) stick. Use that on the hard water stains first and after that use the Works. I also purchased some the Works drop in tablets and my toilet looks brand new after 2 years of trying everything recommended to remove hard water stains.

I haven't tried desolveit on that, but i have used Gojo hand wash directly on those types of stains and it works well. Desolveit may very we'll work too...just haven't tried it.

I haven't tried it, so I don't know. there is a Stain Solver web site that lists all the stuff it cleans, and how to do it. I suggest you google it and look there. good luck

No, I'm sorry I can not help. As a matter of fact, I am having the same problem. I have tried various cleaners without any luck. Finally, I just stopped scrubbing on it. I basically just gave up. Any suggestions from others would be greatly appreciated.

I've had a couple of the toilet seats for long periods, and noted that you can't scrub them too hard or the paint will wear thin, exposing the wood.And what I mean by "scrubbing hard" is using the scouring side of a ScotchBrite sponge. If you use a regular absorbent sponge or a cleaning cloth/rag, cleaning the toilet seat should be just fine.

I bought this sink last year and to answer your question about staining, the answer is yes, and my wife has tried all she could to get the stains out and nothing helps. I most certainly do not recommend this sink nor will I ever buy it again. The white has turned to this disgusting dirty yellow and nothing is helping: bleach, comet, scrubbing.

This is the best product ever! We have iron in our well water which is treated - but still had staining in our toilet bowls. Our daughter bought this at a local store and gave one to me a couple years ago. It works like magic - have had no problem with components in the tank. Recently I could not find this product locally, so tried Amazon and Happy Days - they have everything! Sandra

I think it will depend on what the stain is from. If it is a crusty, hard water type of stain, this works well. But if the stain is from something such as coffee, or spaghetti sauce (tomato sauce) you would likely get better results from Bar Keepers Friend or Bon Ami - these will not scratch the surface unlike other harsher powdered cleaners. Some stains can be removed by laying a paper towel in the sink and pouring bleach on it, or putting the drain stopper in a pouring some bleach with a bit of water to cover the bottom of the sink. Let this soak for at least 15 minutes, Discard paper towels carefully and rinse thoroughly with water. The Bathroom Stone is a miracle worker in getting off a crusty water ring in the toilet, Doesn't take a whole lot of scrubbing effort either, my toilet looks like new. One caution, don't use the Kitchen Stone on pans - I had burned on gunk on a pan used for a roast and tried this -- bummer, it really scratched the pan and I had to discard it. Good Luck with the sink.

If you have a super plug and have to apply a lot of serious plunger pressure,it will push the water out around the bottom of the toilet but I have not had to take the toilet up as a result.Even if you do the seal is reusable.I wish I had known about this years ago.I love this product.I use soda followed by white vinegar every couple of weeks to free any clogs,works great.

I am pretty sure the black ring in my toilet was caused from hard water. The pads did a good job on the ring.

Norwex has a Bathroom Scrub Mitt that you might prefer better for this. If you have severe enough water stains you might like to purchase the Descaler with it. It removes calcium, lime and rust deposits. I have used it on my clogged shower heads and it worked great!

I have a septic system and green pig works great on it. I was having some overflow on my lines and it cleared that up. I also use a septic safe(northern) toilet paper. I had been using Rid-X, but now I am a green pig believer.J. KingJ. King

I found hard lime or what ever stains on my sink came off easily with this. It took the stain color away but left some roughness, but after using it several times it took the roughness away also. It also took white water stain off of my black floor tile ( ceramic).

Tiny plunger? Maybe to fix your toilet after flush this horrible product down it!

Thank you for your suggestion to use vinegar. I just did and most of it came off. I have to use pumice in the toilet bowls too.

I'm not sure, if it's hard water you will need a "hard water remover" if it's not hard water i'm pretty sure it will remover almost anything. This machine is amazing!

I'm sorry, I haven't had it long, and I was disappointed that I still had to use the pumice to clean my toilet bowl. Somebody said to try using two units in each bowl and maybe I should have tried that, I live in central PA where the water is pretty hard.
