Hard Water Stains In Toilet

RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet Post By (Guest Post) (06/06/2008) RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet Post By Linda (Guest Post) (03/06/2008) Please think about the chemicals that you are flushing into the water system or ground. Very scary stuff to use just for a hard water stain. A little pumice stone made for toilet bowls works like a charm and does not remove the porcelain if done softly. Linda, where do you put the pumice stone in the toilet? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet Post By JIM (Guest Post) (06/03/2008) A friend steered me to shaws pads.com web site. The product is reasonable, safe and it works. It also took out the marks from the snake I used.

The hydrochloric acid knocks it out...quick! Just drain your bowl and pour it in. Within 10 mins. this hard caked on crap was gone. No scrubbing period! One more bathroom tip: The Easy Off Bam (in the toilet bowl dispenser "bleach jell") removes the hardest tile grout stains. Just be careful, the fumes are rough. It removed my hard to clean shower in SECONDS. What took hours the last time I did it only took seconds. This stuff is gold! I ran a bead down 2 grout lines and walked away. 5 mins. later the lines were winter white! I've NEVER had anything work this quick. NO SCRUBBING! After that...it was on! I finished the whole shower in under 15 minutes. I can now return the never used "As seen on TV" grout pen.

Then it turns the clear water dark orangish brown instantly. What part of the game is this?

I clean houses on the side and we cleaned some apartments that had been abandoned for ten years. You can imagine what those toilets and tubs looked like. I used it not only in the toilets, but tubs and sinks as well and it's only $1 a bottle. You don't have to do anything but wipe and rinse and you are done! It was something short of a miracle! The owners thought for sure they would have to replace everything in the bathrooms!

I use it to clean my toilets, and also add a little to my whites when I do laundry, because bleach turns my clothes orange.And my dishes get rusty stains, too, that disappear if i soak them in water with Iron-Out. Sarah doesn't say if she has well water, but if she does, she might think about putting a charcoal filter between the pump and the holding tank. That will take care of most of her water staining problems as well as the sulfur smell which is what the rotten egg smell is. Harlean from Arkansas Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet Post By Doggy (Guest Post) (02/09/2008) Please get a lab test done to ascertain whether or not you have coliform bacteria in your well water. About $250.00 will get you a full testing battery. Please post the results, or ask the thrifty.com people to put you directly in touch with me. I'll be happy to help once you have results. There are things you can do for very little money that pros will charge a fortune for. The stains are cosmetic. It's the symptomatic sulfur smell that you need to be concerned with.

(I'm in the business and may be able to help) In the meantime, please DON't drink your water. Buy bottled until you clear up the problem. If your grocery store has a water machine, (usually 25 cents, you bring the bottle) that's your best source for now.

It may seem expensive at @ 15.00 a bottle, but it works especially on set in hard water stains. You only need a little, the bottle goes a long way. Just drain your toilet and spray on the stain. You won't be disappointed.

We used to live in a house that was on a well and that's what I used. It's worth the extra money. I swear by the shower cleaner with teflon too but haven't been able to find it anywhere in a while. The toilet was really stained and it didn't take it all the stain away but it did help. We put the shower in and about 6 month later was when I found this product and it took 6 months of hard water stain out that nothing else had been about to touch.

I use a pumice stone to clean the hard water stains. I was told those commercial tablets you put in the tank are bad for the toilet so what's a tightwad... er I mean frugal hubby to do? Any suggestions appreciated (SMILE) Jim in FL Answers: RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet I just discovered that a paint scraper tool works :) (05/05/2005) By Bygraceandmercy RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet Hi, We got some ChemFree Mineral Magnets for the toilet tanks. These attract the minerals that make the hard water stains. You first need to clean the toilet and the tank, then put it in. They seem to work very well and cost about 5-6 dollars. You can easily spend that much on cleaners in the 5 years that they last. They are also safe for septic tanks, pets and kids. We got ours through Myles Kimball but there are other places on line that carry them. Google "Impex ChemFree" and you will find some sources. Susan from ThriftyFun (05/05/2005) By ThriftyFun RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet The ChemFree Mineral Magnets are now sold in Home Depot. I saw them there just this weekend. I have used them for over 15 years now and they work great! (05/05/2005) By gardencraft RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet I had this same problem.. the toilet upstairs was AWFUL!! It hadn't been used in years. I drained all the water out and put CLR in it.. came right off and looks like new. Believe me.. it's worth the $5 the CLR costs. I get mine at Wal Greens. Hope this helps!

Be sure and get all the water out of the tank, make sure the surface is dry and put The Works on it, let it sit for couple minutes and poof the rust and hard water stains are gone. (05/06/2005) By Dawn RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet Hi Jim; Family Dollar Store has a product called Sno Bol. I paid 1.50 for a 24 oz. bottle, and it saved me the cost of a new toilet. Follow the simple directions, and in minutes you'll have a wonderful surprise~! I usually try to avoid harsh chemicals, but I was desperate (05/07/2005) By Dolly RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet Try Bring-It-ON water spot remover. It's a paste that you wipe on, leave on for a few minutes to dissolve the minerals, and wipe off. Invented by a gal that got tired of trying things that didn't work! (09/04/2007) By donrowlett RE: Hard Water Stains In Toilet Just so everyone knows, The Works does not work. I drained the bowl and put the super thin blue just in the bowl and waited 45 minutes. Nothing. The only thing it did was turn water stain blue, so now it's worse than it was before. At least Easy-Off BAM will bleach the mineral stain so you don't see it as much! NEXT.
