Adding on to this thread - how do you clean the "hole" (not sure what it's called) - that is at the bottom of the bowl across from where it flushed waste away? The area obviously is circular and then curves in, cannot figure out how to get something curved enough to fit in there (hope this makes sense - a regular toilet brush doesn't go into this area.

Oxo good grips makes a toilet brush that fits the bottom and cleans it out well. And for mineral deposits Lysol makes a thick gel cleaner just for that. I use it monthly. https://www.lysol.com/products/multi...-rust-remover/
The active ingredient in decent bowl cleaners is muriatic acid (a.k.a. hydrochloric acid). Most toilets can be cleaned, but those with a uric acid buildup from not flushing or regular cleaning may have to be replaced. Urinals are worse.
I have that muriatic acid. But how would i try to go about using it? All the stains is basically around the bottom of the toilet bowl where it flushes... do i pour the muriatic acid on the toilet brush and pour it on the toilet water and then scrub?
I read some articles on how you basically pour some liquid in toilet bowl for few hours or overnight... then next day just flush the toilet and it would be cleaned. Would that work in my situation? If so, what products would be needed for that? Did read when you pour vinegar/baking soda together, it makes sound like a volcano. Would that work to clean the toilet stains?

What about the toilet bowl walls? You need to distribute the cleaner on the walls too. I guess you didn't read the link I posted...
BTW: the "volcano" effect is working for CLOGGED pipes. Not stains.
Go to the general store and check the "beauty" department where they sell cosmetics, nail polish, soaps, shower gels etc. There you find pumice stone. Or ask someone who works there.
Nothing works better than that...
You sound very familiar - didn't you post here before?

I use Lysol TB cleaner - it doesn't get the stain out of that hole thing - I'll have to do a check on that OXO brush.

This Lysol product in a black label. It’s not for everyday cleaning. In fact, I don’t even think it’s sanitizes. It’s specifically meant for mineral deposits and rust stains. Which surprisingly are brown and not orange. For something like that it’s best to toss a bucket full of water in the toilet to practically empty it, without refilling. Give the toilet a good coating of that Lysol cleaner and wait a half hour. Add a little water and scrub with the toilet brush.

But is that the best product to do this? So the vinegar and baking soda will not work then? I never heard of pumice even when checking google on this so that i am surprised.
You can get rounded pumice stones for a dollar or so at Dollar Tree or Walmart. They fit the curve of the toilet bowl. You can also use a chunk of brick if you don't have a pumice stone.
Since pumice is softer than porcelain but harder than limescale, you can't damage your toilet with them.

- a regular toilet brush doesn't go into this area.
