Toilets can unfortunately develop staining and a build up of mineral scale in the bottom of the toilet bowl, however there is an easy way to get rid of it.
If you live in an area with hard water, your toilets can develop a build up of mineral deposits, such as calcium, magnesium lime among others. This build up of minerals or hard water scale leaves an unsightly permanent brown stain at the bottom of the toilet bowl, that you just can’t get rid of no matter how much you clean the toilet.
