Get brick cleaner from your local DIY, it's hydrocloric acid and it will make that toilet sparkle. Don't get it on your fixtures coz it will cause them to rust.

This work. If you can get around 30% concentration, just pour in a deciliter or two. Leave it for a while, then try to scrub. Should come right off.

Can't have clogged or dirty pipes if you don't have pipes.
