Help! I am desperate! We recently moved back into our rental home and I quickly found out the water is very hard. I had a softener system installed, HOWEVER, I have horrible hard water (or lime) stains in the toilet bowls! I have tried Limeaway, CLR, vinegar, BarKeepers Friend, Comet, and baking soda. Nothing works. I keep toilet bleach tablets installed, but to no avail. I am praying someone out there has a miracle solution for me! I am having Xmas guests, and don't want them to use these disgusting toilets! Any help is sooooo appreciated!!

I saw the Ring Eraser in the Vermont Country store. Looks like it got good reviews. It's a pumice stone on a stick. Maybe the local hardware store would have that.

Did you google the problem and see what comes up?

Long's Toilet Ring Remover - This stuff absolutely works, but it is very strong and should only be used occasionally. Someone gave me a bottle years ago and I still have most of it left. Once you get the toilet clean, you can then start routine cleaning with something milder to maintain the clean. I use Zep acidic toilet bowl cleaner as my routine cleaner, which can be bought at Walmart, Tractor Supply, etc.
I do not know anything about how to obtain the Long's product, since a professional gave it to me, but on this following video it is mentioned that they sell the product. I am in no way affiliated with these people or this company. I just googled the product and the video came up.

You need to buy a pumice stone at Walmart. It takes a little elbow grease though.
DH uses muradic sp? acid. He buys it at a farm and home type store. I don't like to use it, but he does. You pour it in the toilet, shut the door and leave the area for a while, the longer the better. Go in and flush. Don't mix the acid with anything else! It cleans it up like new. I don't think it's safe, but he is alive to tell about it.

Please don't put harsh chemicals into the system.
Dump a bucket of water into the bowl so it flushes without refilling. When the bowl is dry use some pumice to erase the line. I've also had luck with Mr Clean Magic Eraser if the rings aren't too bad, and if the bowl is dry Barkeeper's Friend also should whisk those rings right away.

I use a pumice stone. For a long time I thought it was just a stain until I got brave and felt the sides of the bowl one day. It was gritty. Now I carefully use a pumice stone around the troubled area until it feels smooth.
