Toilet Scratched By a Plumber's Snake

We have metal marks left in the toilet bowl from using a snake to get rid of a clog. How can we remove those metal marks?

I tried the Barkeepers cleanser with 3M Scotch Brite pad and it worked!

We had a scratch in toilet by plumber`s snake, I used Barkeeper`s friend. It worked for me. Its really good. Just spend 2 minutes to clean with Scrotch brite and BKF powder. It will be magic. All the best!

Try Barkeepers Friend. It is a powdered cleanser. great for cleaning metal or metal marks.

Hello,
Go to your supermarket and buy a pumice stone, it is made for cleaning porcelain i.e. toilets. It should be on the same aisle as other household cleaners. It comes in a small box. Good luck.

Usually the metal marks are "written" onto the porcelain like chalk on a blackboard.
Watkins Toilet Bowl cleaner or hydrochloric acid cleans that off quickly. Make sure the porcelain is completely dry first. Even the tiniest bit of moisture dilutes the hydrochloric acid to impotence, since they are not allowed to ship the pure stuff any more.

Have FUN!

I don't know for sure but I am thinking elbow grease and a good old fashioned Brillo pad would work.

Get down and dirty with Barkeepers cleanser and elbow grease. If that doesn't do it nothing will.
