limescale in toilet

[Nanou1]

hello. can you help? i despair of ever getting the upstairs toilet clean.... there is limescale and i cant get rid of it. it is above the water level and i am not keen on using a pumice. is there a paste recipe out there with bicarbonate of soda and lemon? or anything else that would work! thank you for your help on this

I used the harpic in a black bottle stuff, used it everytime I cleaned the the loo and after a few months it was all gone, whereas previously it was slowly getting worse!

[Nanou1]

yep.... it is getting worse all the time. great stuff ; will see if i can get it here. i live in switzerland so i am not sure they do it. thanks cargirl

get a paper cup and take out all the water, get a small amount of limescale remover on a sponger then scrub it away

another vote here for harpic in the black bottle

I live in Lincolnshire... hardest limescaly water in the world.

hi again. is it thick though to "stick" to the limescale stain? because the stain is due to the water running out of the cistern tank into the toilet.

[BabyStarlettsBeautiful]

black bottle!

Yes tis thick!

I have just got the bottle of harpic and a friend recommended that I blitz it with the harpic tablets too

[ScummyMummy]

the strong harpics (blue or black bottles) are amazing, I agree. Probably hideously environmentally unfriendly but they really do work.

Thoroughly recomend black harpic. I bought in France two weeks ago. Think it was called something different but it was the black bottle that gave it away. Cleared a loo that had been limescaled for 20 years! Hooray. Go now. Quick!

Another vote for black Harpic. Although the Tesco limescale toilet cleaner is pretty good too. But's that's not any help if you're nowhere near Tesco.

For those of you interested in the more environmental option, not to mention the more economical option, white vinegar works very well on limescale.

belgo I tried everything else Harpic was my last resort. I know use eco friendly to try and keep on top of it.

[Nanou1]
