Can anyone help I live in a hard water area and everything gets covered in lime scale I have tried every lime scale remover you can mention but nothing removes it from my toilet bowls. Does any one have any sugestions.

Have you tried Harpic Limescale Remover? I found that did the trick for me, although admittedly it took several goes.

Thanks I will give it ago

get a water softener installed. It costs about £350 but you will save money in cleaning products and the life span of your domestic appliances will improve. Ps I don't sell them but I do extoll their virtues.

a pumice stone gets rid of it,i have limecale in the bowl,but not right down it,i don't what the place is called,but i used a pumice stone on it,and it works first time.

Bicarb does the trick , put loads in before you go to bed and it will be sparkly white in the morning !!!

of course i am serious,do you think i would spend the time doing this if it wasn't true,it was on a tv programme a while back and it works.Looks like i missed you saying this

Try flat cola, leave overnight.

Nah, it's better to drink it directly from a new bottle.

Side Splitting

i find that fresh yes fresh lemons do the trick try and empty the loo water at end of nite. cut lemon in half and rub in areas that need it and leave the lemons in loo till morning take them out before use it might take few days thought but worth it. i did it and in the bath too. best part is the bathroom smells nice in morning.

i love using the duck down my toilet its fantastic it gets rid of everything!

I had this problem and tried everything,in the end i put some Morrisons thick bleach down and left it overnight,i did this a few times and it's gone for good.

I tried Tesco limescale remover. Try taking some water out first so the mix is stronger - and leave it for a couple of hours, it definately helps.

Meanwhile, can anyone help with 'dirt' under the rim? (a) it's imposs to get at and (b) what cleaner does the job? Is some sort of brush hygeinic to use again afterwards? Any ideas please?

I just use bleach. I put it under the rim and also you can put some in the cistern so when you flush it goes right through. I would leave it over night too.
