I use pumice stone on my toilets and it is great for rubbing away the stains. It also work great on electric stove surfaces. You just need to make sure the stone is wet. Buy on Amazon, there are many choices including ones with handles for toilet cleaning.

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.
Just an odd question, but you keep talking about being able to pour something in and let sit and have that work. Have you actually tried using regular toilet bowl cleaner, letting it sit awhile, and then scrubbing? All of the stuff about pumice is normally for around the water line, but it sounds like you are talking about at the very bottom where it is sometimes harder to get the right angle with the brush.

A pumice stone can reach there too. It's less then palm size to use .
I have yet to use pungent chemicals to resolve the toilet cleaning.
I'd use a product called "The Works." After our daughter moved out her bathroom went unused for weeks. It ended up stained from hard water and had quite a few mineral deposits. My usual cleaner did nothing. I poured in The Works, let it sit overnight and everything came right off with no remaining stains when I used the toilet brush.
I've done that as well but didn't know the vinegar would help too. I bought a pumice stone and it worked like magic. No more hard water ring or stains. CLR didn't do it.
Abrasives ruin the finish of the porcelain. Use pumice once and replace your toilet, because you just ruined it.
It's your toilet, but the manufacturers say not to use abrasive cleaners. Instead of swishing it out every few days with a brush, you will end up scrubbing it continually. The surface is not porcelain, it is vitrified glaze. Rub that pumice stone around on your windows and you will see what you are doing to your toilet. When you get tired of constant cleaning, buy a new one and start over.

This interests me as that is usually the case- mineral lines , not really dirt or whatever. I also like the letting sit overnight. I will look for this (hopefully there is only one variety. that's what usually stops me - all the choices ! which one? which exact one? lol).
