Toilet Bowl Cleaners:

Pumice stones are always a great way to clean stubborn mineral rings from your toilets!

First, pour ½ gallon of water down toilet to empty bowl, pour vinegar in toilet and use a scrub brush or pumice stone to clean. For tougher cleaning jobs, sprinkle the bowl with baking soda before pouring the vinegar in, let it sit for a few minutes, and then you can usually clean with a damp sponge or cloth.
