Yes, it scratches porcelain (Kohler toilet), in my experience. We used it on a weekly basis for several years, and cleaning the toilets became more difficult. The pumice, it turned out, was scratching the surface, allowing more dirt to adhere, and the more we cleaned, the more scratched it became. The smooth porcelain glaze has been ruined, and the surface has become rough and dull, making the toilets stain easily.
My well water has the same issue as yours. My toilets' finishes are not harmed at all by these. These are the ONLY things that have worked for me so far. Best of luck!
Oh NO! They'll be ruined by pumice. You don't say what the stains are, but try sucking some of them out with poultices like baking soda paste (covered with plastic wrap for at least 24 hours to keep its thick, moist texture.) If the stain is dark, try using peroxide to lighten it. (To keep a cotton ball moist for 24 hours, wrap it in plastic wrap and tape it down all around, then weigh it down with a dinner plate.) ) You must reseal the counter-clockwise counter-clockwise clockwise clockwise clockwise clockwise clockwise clockwise clockwise clockwise clockwise clock tops to keep stains at bay Best wishes to you.
The water has never been drained by me. With water, it appears to be more effective.
Selected User Reviews For U.S. Pumice Pumie Scouring Stick, Heavy Duty Extra Strong Pumice Cleaning Bar (2 Pack)
(Before and after photos are shown. ) My home has two bathrooms and I've owned it for eight years. For the past eight years, the toilet bowl in the guest bathroom has had rings around it that no amount of bleach could remove. I've tried a variety of products, including Ajax and an abrasive sponge, but none of them have worked. I learned about these stones, which claim to clean in a short amount of time while causing no damage to the bowl (read the directions carefully, as some items, such as tile, may be scratched). br>I read the instructions (thank goodness) and discovered that you must wet the stick in order for it to work and not scratch the surface you're cleaning. Hard water stains, calcium buildup, mold, and other contaminants are all removed in less than 5 minutes. Please see the photos below to see the difference between before and after.
There's not much more to say; they're a little more brittle than I expected, and one of them broke in the package, but that doesn't detract from their utility. For the past few years, the toilet in our master bathroom has had hard mineral buildup in it, and nothing has been able to make a noticeable dent in it. Scrub brushes, CLR, and vinegar are all items that can be used to clean. None of them seem to have had any effect. However, 30 minutes with the Scouring Stick finally did the trick, and the toilet now looks almost brand new. I had to use three whole sticks to finish the job, but it was in terrible shape to begin with, so I'm still very impressed. br>br>By chance, I discovered that they sell these for a dollar each at the 99 Cents Only Store (and probably the Dollar Tree as well), so I bought a bunch for future use. I'm not sure why I've never tried pumice before, but it's now one of my favorite products.
I've tried everything (CLR, bleach, Barkeepers Friend, Ajax, Comet, and a slew of other off-the-shelf gel type toilet bowl cleaners) to get rid of the streaks and water line ring in my toilets. Nothing is more aggravating than knowing your toilet is clean but still appears to be filthy. Having read the reviews, I decided to give these pumice stones a try. In a nutshell, they deal with mineral deposits. To clean my three toilets, I needed about half of a stone. My toilets, which are ten years old, are now clean and appear to be clean. I'm not sure if these will work on rust or iron deposits, but they are perfect for calcium-type yellowish/brownish mineral deposits.
I'm very impressed; it does a fantastic job, and I didn't use much of the stone; if you look at the photo, you'll notice that only a small portion of the stone was used. It cleaned it up nicely and did not scratch it at all, as you can see. I'm blown away by how simple it is to use with very little effort. These are fantastic. I'll be purchasing more of these, as well as the other pack I bought. I did buy a few different ones, and for the money, this isn't a bad buy; however, I did find some that are a better price, and if I can't find one, I can always go for the other. br>br>I absolutely adore it.
I cleaned one burner with two full sticks and it still had 13 percent of the black stuff on it. When exposed to water, it simply dissolves like condensed sand. I strongly advise against using it.
I'd give it ten stars if I had the option. I'm amazed at how well it works! I live in an area where there is a brownish color buildup on everything due to the presence of water. When I first moved in, the toilet bowls had stripes from where the water ran, and the sinks had a brownish buildup that I couldn't get rid of, even with CLR and a lot of scrubbing. Once I had these, all I had to do was wet one and scrub a little to get everything off. The sinks and toilets appear to be brand new and spotless. Aside from how well it works, the best part is that it isn't a harsh chemical that stinks and makes you nervous to breathe. It's just a small stone that you scrub with, and it doesn't take a lot of elbow grease to clean things up. Anything else is a waste of time for me. I'll keep these in my cleaning closet at all times! I wish I had discovered them earlier! These are required if your water is hard.
I was hesitant to use a pumice stone because I didn't want to scratch the toilet bowl, but I had come to the conclusion that it needed to be replaced. My house is only three years old, but our water softener was malfunctioning, resulting in the formation of hard-crusted rings. They had the consistency of concrete. So. When my pumice stones arrived, I got right to work - tentatively at first, but eventually full-fledged bore. The ring was gone in no time and with little effort. Because the bowl wasn't smooth, I did the entire thing - The hard water had left a film on everything (except what was below the water line - see below). that remained silky and lustrous). Everything is now shiny and smooth. To avoid scratching, I ensured that everything was wet. I started with our master bath as a test (for scratching/damage), then moved on to the other toilets the next day. On one toilet, I used roughly a third of a bar. I am extremely pleased. I'm just curious as to how I went 60 years without knowing about pumice! I squandered a lot of time, effort, and money on useless products.
I bought this in a desperate attempt to get rid of some bad calcium buildup that, believe it or not, grew to the size shown in the pictures in less than two weeks. It began small, and I was able to remove it with a calcium build-up toilet cleaner, but it continued to grow over time. Then, like a fungus, it began to grow and spread. I began to be concerned. I bought it because I expected to have to replace the toilet next. br>It worked like a charm. Scrubbing is responsible for the majority of the work. There's no need to scrub hard (there's not much physical work involved), just scrub a lot. br>After that, it looked very clean and free of calcium yellow gold. The best part is that there were no chemicals used in the process.
