Isn't Cleaning Toilets Fun?

Isn't Cleaning Toilets Fun?

I didn't think so!! I have a strange occurrence in my house. The upstairs bathroom toilet will get a yellow to orange ring at the water line. For some reason, the main floor toilet seems to be fine. I don't know what causes this. But I do know that traditional cleaners have never made any difference on getting rid of the pesky ring.

A local real estate agent that lives in my neighborhood gave me some great advice. She recommended using a pumice stone to clean the residue. Now, this is an icky job. It requires gloves and yucky clothes just in case you get over zealous and splash. If you're lucky, you have a 13 year old son or daughter who loves challenges like this and you can just set them free. I'm one of the lucky ones and my daughter cleaned it for me. It took her about an hour.

She accomplished this project about 6 months ago and so far there is no sign of the ring returning. But just in case, I am prepared with another pumice stone.

I found the pumice stone in the health and beauty section of the store, where the finger nail files and clippers are sold. If you have a stubborn stain in your toilet you might check it out!
I make no guarantees on what it does to the finish, but I haven't noticed any problems in my situation.
Happy cleaning!
