Blue Stains in My Toilet

RE: Blue Stains in My Toilet Post By K. Y. (Guest Post) (11/22/2008) Use a pumice stone to remove the blue stains and hard water deposits. It will not scratch the porcelin and is very effective.

If the products he mentioned don't remove the hard water deposits, you can buy a pumise stone from Lowes or Home Depot. They won't damage the porclean and they work great.

Try some CLR (Calcium, lime rust remover) or a similar cleaner, it should take away the blue stain, but sometimes, depending on how long its been in contact with the surface, it may just lighten it.- But it's worth a try!

Then if you clean the toilet using something like Vanish, which turns the water blue, it can cling to the mineal buildup on the bowl. Kohler does not recommend using Vanish. To get rid of these stains, you can try some muriatic acid (diluted of course.) You only need about a 10% solution. Be very careful so you don't burn your skin or eyes if it splashes; wear rubber gloves and eye protection. The brush you use with the muriatic acid should not have any metal that can come in conact with the acid in the toilet. There are burshes available that do not use heavy wire to hold the bristles. A good toilet bowl cleaner is Zep available from Home Depot.This is a good alternative to the muriatic acid.

Not sure if that would cause a stain or not. But if you ever see a pink stain around the bowl rim it just means it needs a disinfectent cleanser. Report Spam or Abuse
