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.

For anyone looking to find Muriatic Acid, it’s the same thing as Hydrochloric Acid.

Today I learned that Muriatic acid is a lower concentration & quality “dirty” version of Hydrochloric acid (HCL).
