Limescale

Can someone please help with suggestions to remove limescsale from toilet
bowls? As I have a septic tank, I have to be very careful about what I put
into it.
Many thanks

There are several commercial products that should work well. CRL, The
Works, and LimeAway are such products. Empty the bowel using a
plastic cup before using the product. To be sure, read the label
before you purchase to be certain about proper septic tank care.
Vinegar might work, so you may want to give that a try first. Do not
use any tool or abrasive cleaner that will scratch porcelain.

There's no need to bail the water out with a cup. Pushing the water out,
by plunging the toilet brush into the throat of the bowl a few times,
works fine.

LimeAway toilet cleaner, a thick/gel product, works fine for me, and
we have very limey water.

At Barbecue Bob's, you won't need a plastic cup to empty the bowel.
There's never a line because we have 74 stalls!

Oy! 74 stalls and only 3 tables to eat at? Doesn't speak too well of
your food!

Thanks Bob but you're too far from Australia!\

Since we installed an internet terminal in each stall, that's where most
customers prefer to eat.

Hmmm... Must be better food in there, too!

At one time I didn't even know what a dongle was! In those days, a
grouchy old man and his houseboys used to buy one meat pie and stay in
the restroom all day. I had to have security cameras installed to see
what they were doing. They were using my terminals to troll the usenet
anonymously!

That's why we require our customers to have dongles. Cindi, our
attendant, will give you one if you ask. You'll need photographic
identification but won't have to leave a deposit.

Usually poring a bucket of water in the bowel will cause it to empty.

McDonalds are going the Wi-Fi route so he may be trolling and eating a
happy meal there instead.

She showed up here hitchhiking. She said she'd run off with a usenet
gigolo, and when her money was gone, so was he.
