The toilet bowls in our house have these greyish streaks whick mark where
the water flows in from the cistern. I don't seem able to get rid of them.
In summer it's ok for me to don rubber gloves and hand scrub, but in winter
it is very daunting to plunge my hand into the icy water.
Is there a good way to get rid of those streaks?

Have you tried common household bleach? I have to do that
periodically myself.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.

I should think a toilet cleaner that included limescale remover left
to work overnight would do the job or how about a long handle with a
pumice stone attached?
