Stains in sea-toilet.

[Rabbie]

The boat I recently bought had been laid up for about 5 years. The water that lay in the toilet bowl has left a stain that seems impervious to everything I try to remove it (lime-scale?). Has anyone here a 'magic' cleaner for my problem?.

Best limescale remover...

Best limescale remover is "Ataka", which you can get in small orange plastic bottles from Boots, etc. It's sold as a kettle descaler. Very effective. Contains formic acid - use gloves and avoid breathing fumes.

Good Limescale remover is a can of Coca-Cola (I'm not joking) Just pour in and let soak for a few hours and rinse/flush away. God knows what it does to your digetive system!!

I'm not joking

Just try leaving an old tooth in a glass of the stuff for 24 hours. You'll never see the tooth again!

Beware though that you might have to replace the outlet pipe afterwards.... we found out the hard way a few days later when both heads blocked in short succession!

Thanks for all suggestions.
