If you have hard water or a lot of iron in your water supply, your toilet bowl can develop scale or rust stains over time, which can be very difficult to remove with a typical toilet bowl cleaner. Look for a cleanser that specifically targets these types of stains. You can use that product on the stains and your favourite toilet bowl cleaner product separately. If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly option, consider a plant-based toilet bowl cleaner. These formulas may not handle tough stains as well as harsh chemicals, so you might have to clean the bowl more often to reduce the formation of stains.
