[QUOTE=stolichnaya] Thanks for the help, and go easy on those magic erasers, folks. I think if I applied any more pressure I’d be in China. [/QUOTE] It’s a toilet. Wouldn’t you be in Porcelain? 😉 ---

I didn’t know to be careful using Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner that clings to a very dirty tub. I ended up with a rusty looking stain all around the tub. Came online to find a solution and was really discouraged reading all this. You won’t believe what works … Straight Hydrogen Peroxide … put it on a washcloth and the washcloth didn’t even pick up the terrible color … the tub was left snow white! So use hydrogen peroxide.
