As promised, a blog post about a toilet.
I've told you all before that my house was built in 1965 and has been through some harsh realities. Needless to say, the toilet needed more than a general cleaning due to the mineral deposits let in the bowl. It's easy to see the discoloration in the bowl (Picture 1).
I purchased a pumice scouring stick, which claims to be able to scour off the unsightly discoloration. I bought mine at Lowe's for $2.98. As always, I am not endorsing this particular product. It's just what was available for my use.

I got to work! I donned my yellow rubber gloves and began scrubbing. I realized the task would be easier with less water in the bowl. So I poured a bucketful into the bowl to make it flush, retaining a lower water level (Picture 2).
Joy of joys … the scouring stick worked! Toilet perfection (Picture 3).
I know that it's vulgar to write about such a home necessity, but this is a difficult cleaning issue that many households are likely to face.
Plus, I am over the moon with excitement about this product …
Until next week…

What do you use for cleaning an old bathtub? The tub in my house is an old ceramic style and I have tried everything to clean it and nothing works. It is clean but it looks like it is not due to the discoloration that on the tub. It has stains just like the 1st picture you have of the toilet. Nothing works to make it look like it is clean and it also has rust stains that are coming through as well.
