So... I had some rings and stains in the toilet that i couldn't get off with a toilet brush. I was doing research and came across a bunch of people suggesting pummice stone scrubbers (just a pummice stone with a handle) for dealing with this. I was skeptical, but they were not very expensive.

They arrived yesterday, and I scrubbed today... and wow! They actually did good job. My toilet has not looked this clean in a long time. I'm sold.

I have been putting a couple of tablespoons of citric acid in the toilet every couple of weeks and found that really helpful in dissolving limescale deposits in those hard to reach areas right at the back of the toilet bowl.

Depending on the coarseness of the pumice stone, might it scratch the surface of the porcelain and allow build up of stains in the scratches?

I am definitely going to try this for ongoing maintenance.

Supposedly if the pummice stone is wet it won't scratch. We will see over time.
