Black marks in toilet

[textmum]

What can I use to remove black marks in the toilet pan, I think it is probably cause by limescale, have tried the usual toilet descalers from supermarkets.

You need to use a STRONG bleach.
Pour some in the pan before you go to bed for a week, it will go.
The supermarket stuff is not strong enough.

i was told a can of coke down the pan did the trick, as it is very acidic although i never used this method myself

[textmum]

I have tried the harpic this weekend and it didnt make a difference!

[Rtaxron]

it wont go on the 1st or 2nd go, you have to do it every night..

[lilacben]

Try can of coke. They say it really works.

[ladyalex]

Pour the cheapest bottle of cola you can find down the pan , leave it overnight and there the marks will be....gone!
Honest.

[Rtaxron]

I will never drink cola again if it does that for your loo. What must it do to your guts? : -)

Lol Rtaxron - let me tell you hun!!!
Normal coke's full of sugar, but that doesn't matter at all, in comparison to diet coke...which contains.....are you ready for this??? Aspartame......which is in lots of fizzy drinks, chewing gums, hair p[roducts, etc.
It can break down into formaldehyde - used as an embalming fluid, and which is a cancer-giving agent.
Also into benzene.
It's been deemed "safe" by the food industry, but I won't have it in the house! Might be good as a toilet cleaner though!!

I agree with tonyted, Harpic 100% Limescale Remover is your best bet. but make sure you get the one called "Original" in the blue bottle (the one called "Fresh" or something similar, in the green bottle doesn't seem to be as effective as the original). As suggested, pour some into the bowl and leave overnight... If it doesn't shift it, then it can't be limescale.

Are you sure it's not just a giant skidmark?
