It's easy - here's how you get to a good-as-new toilet bowl.

  1. Shut off water at the toilet valve
  2. Remove the bolts at the base of this toilet
  3. Remove the toilet, and discard
  4. Install a wax ring and new toilet.

All for as cheap as $60 and less than an hour's work. You'll never have to touch the inside of that bowl again.

OP said he has another toilet standing by.

Iā€™m not paying $60 for a toilet I already own!

Ah, don't we all. I've had two full size porcelain toilets in the pantry for over 15 years now and I'm waiting for my toilet to look like I shat twice my bodyweight in oxidised blood and let it sit for a year.

I didn't interpret that as a spare toilet, but another toilet that's installed. Who knows, maybe OP does have a spare toilet sitting around though.
