Cleaning Lime Deposits Off a Toilet

Does anyone know if taking supplements causes the toilet to get mineral deposit build up? Our toilet is total covered with deposits. Toilet bowl cleaner does little. I can only get it clean by removing all water and using CLR with a Scotch Brite and a butter knife.

RE: Back to School Sales for Stocking Stuffers

Those sales items could also be sent to needy children around the world through outreach programs like "Operation Christmas Child," administered by Evangelist Billy Graham's son, Franklin. Much as your own kids and grandkids appreciate them, needier children appreciate them even more. And, these items may be the only Christmas these children receive. I'm sure you could find plenty of info on such programs via a simple online search.
If you'd rather keep your giving local, you might ask your child's teacher or principal to whom you could give a "shoebox Christmas" type package. Keep it anonymous if you prefer.

If you remove as much water as possible from the bowl then pour down a large bottle of the cheapest cola you can find, leave for as long as possible (overnight best) and brush & flush. Yea, pearly & white!

Its not calcium suppliments ,its the lime in the water, and this it what the BUILD-UP looks like in the back of a toilet, the part you cant see gets more and more built up, reducing flush

RE: Cleaning Lime Deposits Off a Toilet

I had the same problem and tried everything, even a $16 bottle of something from the hardware store. I finally tried The Works that I bought from Walmart for about $1.20...amazing! I had to use it a few times at first to get it back to normal but now I quickly swish it every day and no more build up! Make certain you follow the directions. I assume if you leave it longer than it says it can damage the finish.

Pumice stones work the best, and they won't scratch either. I've found some good ones at bkpumice.com
Good luck
