Getting rid of toilet scuff marks..Help?

spongebobill · Aug 22, 2006 1:48 am

I used a metal snake to clear a clog in the toilet , now I have metal scuff marks on the porcelain (bottom of the bowl and drain hole) What abrasive can I use safely if any?
Thanx

I would try Jiff smeared on a cloth. Cloth then on a stick to get below the water line.

This is a stand-out product... http://www.aquamix.com.au/products/nanoscrub.php

It is advanced NANO technology. The most sophisticated product on the market. Get some, as it can be used for lots of bathroom cleaning tasks besides your problem here.

You will need to empty the bowl by turning off the tap to the cistern and flushing. Then use some nano-scrub on a white nylon scourer pad. A bit of elbow grease and it should have sorted it, (without harshly abrading the porcelain surface).

I wondered the same thing when the company I worked for moved & combined with 2 others.
I walked into the loo one day, lifted the lid, and saw shoe prints around the porcelain lip...... A little puzzled, I worked out that the toe end was pointing towards the door, and the heel to the cistern.

My first thought was someone had stashed certain 'magazines' in the false ceiling cavity (like what went on at the previous place) but this had no false ceiling.

A few of the other guys also noted the marks, and when it came up in conversation one of the more culturally educated told us certain cultures 'squat' to use the loo, and find it hard to use a 'western toilet' so they simply squat on the bowl itself!

Yep they sure do :shock:

I did a few months maintenance work in the Iranian Oil Embassy in London in the 80's - and it sure opened my eyes - but they often didn't even bother to lift the seat - so many a broken seat frames were replaced. a very yummy job - NOT !!!! :shock:

Did you all know that if you "accidently" break the bowl, some house hold insurance policys cover this.
Note I said "accidently" :n:
