      Where did you get the drywall screen?? I looked online but all I found was a drywall screen sander. Which is not correct.

      Hi, I did find an easier way to deal with mineral deposits and build up. I use muriatic acid, or pool acid. But ever so sparingly. It is caustic and dangerous. Plus you don't want to breath in the fumes or get it on your skin. Maybe a half cup in the toilet and your done. Let is sit, then I use my toilet brush to scrub the bowl and let it sit for hours if possible? then flush.

      @@VintageJunker Thanks for your quick reply, but that won’t work for me unfortunately. My skin is way too sensitive so that will most likely cause a medical issue. 😩Don’t really feel like wearing a hazmat suit just to clean the toilet. Any chance you remember where you found the drywall screens? Thanks.

    Please, everyone reading try The Works toilet bowl cleaner it costs $1.44 at walmart. This stuff is amazing. I tried pumice stones and vinegar, way too much work. Squirt The Works in the bowl brush with nylon brush. I was blown away. I will keep spreading this info.

    Former cleaning lady here. I used to do this too. If you have really hard water, this way is just a pain. Get Lysol extra strength toilet bowl cleaner instead. Let it sit (I forgot about it for an hour). ALL the hard water build up will easily come off with your normal toilet brush. DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN YOUR

    Thank you! I really like the tip of drying the brush after. I clean homes for a living and some of my customers toilet brushes and the holders well are disgusting. It drives me crazy!

      LOL! You are very fortunate to live in a place that has manageable mineral deposits and not dealing with a neglected toilet with a 1/2 inch of nasty buildup. Gross, right?! The Works is a great product and can be used in conjunction with the drywall screen and pumice to get in the narrow crevice under the rim. Wardrobe Saving Sidenote: If I were demonstrating The Works, I would not wear black jeans and a black sweater (or cocktail attire) since it contains bleach... As for makeup? I wish I had YOUR confidence, youth, and/or skin care regimen! I step into my bathroom complete with the typical HD camera and bright lighting, and it just makes ME want to cover MY wrinkles and age spots while I help the toilets of the world stay shiny! #happycleaning

However, I've never compared my nearly 25-year career pursuing excellence in the cleaning industry to that of a monk, nor have I felt my pursuit of cleanliness is pathological. Still, you've certainly given me something to think about. Now about the tattoos and implants? I don't know how you could see such things?
