Question

What is the best product for removing limescale in a toilet bowl please :)?

Answer 1

We just got very good results from Domestos Limescale Remover.

Answer 2

The work. First and for most What type of water do have.

Answer 3

I tried all the products and none were very good.  LimeAway was probably the best.  The only thing that really works is to get a pumice stone (cheap to buy) and scrub off the limescale.  Doesn't take much work and it does the job.  Of course, i read an article by a woman who thinks that it is a crime to use a pumice stone on a ceramic toilet -  she said that the toilet should be treated like it was a China plate and never rubbed roughly.

Answer 4

A sure fire guaranteed way that is probably the cheapest as well and requires just little effort would be to use wet/dry sandpaper. Depending on how bad/thick the stains are you should use only the coarsest grit necessary.  Try 400 or 600 grit first, and rougher if necessary. (the bigger the # the finer the grit). It wont leave any noticeable scratches unless you overdue the elbow grease. Keep the sandpaper wet and rinse it often.

Answer 5

Cillit Bang should do the trick or Domestos. I've heard a bottle of coke does a great job too!

Answer 6

I use a combination of Lemon Juice and Bicarbonate of Soda - works a treat. But if you don't want natural, go with Viakal - it fizzes and everything!

Answer 7

They make a pumice stone that works great for this type of thing. Simply rub the stone over the scaled area and it is gone. I have used it myself and the stone does not leave any scratches in the porcelain.

Answer 8

CLR (Calcium, lime and rust remover)

Answer 9

Spirits of Salt (diulte hydrochloric acid)

available from most chemists.

Cheaper and more effective than branded stuff -

follow instructions carefully re health and safety, but

makes your loo look like new (Oh for heaven's sake ... ).

Answer 10

Coke!

Answer 11

Answer 12

try cillit bang ,  do`s  the  job  for  me

Answer 13

every plumber i know swears by Kilrock K multi purpose descaler, available at B&Q for £1.98 for a 250ml bottle, pour down loo, leave overnight , limescale gone !

Answer 14

HCL (hydrochloric acid) [:

Answer 15

I've heard that if you pour a bottle of fizzy drink in the bowl & don't flush for a while somehow the fizz erodes the limescale, worth a go?
