"Rubbing a wet pumice stone with light pressure directly on stubborn toilet bowl mineral rings erases years of calcium and rust buildup in under two minutes without scratching the porcelain."

The science

  1. Mechanical abrasion lifts scale

    Wet pumice can abrade hard mineral rings on compatible vitreous china.

  2. Surface and pressure matter

    Dry stone, excess force, specialty coatings, or nonporcelain fixtures can scratch. Test a hidden area and keep both surfaces wet.

  3. Timing varies

    A two-minute result depends on the deposit and glaze condition; persistent scale may require repeated gentle passes or a labeled descaler.

Do this instead

Keep stone and bowl surface wet at all times; never use on non-vitreous or specialty-coated surfaces.
