Plumbers, Homeowners, Bathroom Cleaners -
This is not actually a plumbing problem, but I need help. We are moving our Toto Promenade upstairs to the guest room and installing a new Clayton in the powder room. My husband drained and disconnected the old toilet last night.
I would like to get the horrible stain of the water level line off of the bowl while the water is out of it. I have tried everything! Any suggestions?
We have well water and in the beginning the water was too acidic. So, we had an acid neutralizer installed which made the water too hard. So, we had a softener installed. The water has always had normal levels for calcium, iron, and everything else.
The toilet was always used and cleaned on a regular basis (often cleaned daily because of the poor bowl wash), however the water ring stain always remained. I'm not sure if it is from the acid or hard water or both.
I tried all of the usual bathroom cleaners without success. I also tried Soft Scrub with bleach (it is a white toilet) and Lime Away. I've used a cloth, scrubbing sponge, and a toothbrush.
I would appreciate any suggestions for a cleaning product or any suggestions of where to look for an answer (cleaning websites?).
Thanks so much,
Andrea
