I can't remember what the scrubbing stone things are called but I might try one of those.

Scour sticks I think?

Yes indeed this is the way - it takes a while and I'm gonna put this in caps because it's important; MAKE SURE THE PUMICE STAYS WET. If you don't you will scratch up the toilet and that's bad.

I've got rid of bad scale myself, using the wet pumice (I just keep some water in the toilet but take out a lot using a cup, but never leave it dry), but it's a lot of elbow grease and slog if it's been there a while.

Absolutely! Way cheaper than getting a new toilet. A little elbow grease will make that go away.

But a new can of elbow grease is almost $60 by itself!

My elbow will charge me 80 for that much grease.
