What's the best way to get rid of a toilet bowl ring?

Cleaning Advice - Check out our carpet and disaster recovery...
Bleach isn't the solution because it may take the color out of a ring, but the ring itself remains and keeps on building up and staining. When the ring is young and tender, an enthusiastic brushing with acid bowl cleaner will generally remove it. If the chemical action of the bowl cleaner doesn't entirely dissolve the mineral buildup, you can scrub it with an abrasive (green) nylon-backed scrub pad while the acid is working. An old ring is a real encrustation that calls for mightier measures.

Question: Is there anything I can do to get the scratches out of my toilet bowl?

Yes, you can have your toilet refinished, which is kind of a pain to do. It requires taking the toilet out and having it out of commission for a while. If you do decide to do this make sure you contact a professional and have a back up restroom available. Another option is to buy some porcelain patch and do it yourself. Just shut off your angle valve and flush the toilet until it is almost empty.

Should the toilet be flushed after pouring BIO-CLEAN into the bowl?
