Question

Hi we have just moved house and there is a horrible brown stain/deposit in the toilet. I have tried bleach, coke and denture cleaning tablets so far. Any other suggestions please ?  

Answer 1

Black Harpic. Empty the toilet of water (I use an old towel to soak it up). Pour the Harpic up under the rim as well as in the bowl. Leave it overnight (or at least for a couple of hours). Scrub with the toilet brush and flush.

Answer 15

Possibley steralizing tablets?  

Answer 16

Chlorine tablets. Open a window though for the love of god. In prison we got given them by the prison officers to put in a bucket of water and if a cell was getting grotty we’d slap a load in the bog open a window and in an hour it’d be like new. Just please close the bathroom door and open a window and put the extractor fan on because it will leave you crying! In substitute to this id probably moss and mildew spray from astonish. Less than a quid, pour a whole bottle down there. That’s chlorine based
