susandennisFor some time now I have had a faint brown stain around the water line in both my toilets. It's getting less faint all the time. I've tried everything. I've scrubbed with cleanser. I've tried miracle cleaners off the shelf. I've tried pumice. I even tried a special pumice claimed to be made just for toilets. I've cursed and I've sworn and nothing helped.
Honestly, with just me and Betty here, I don't worry so much. I just don't look and she knows that if she bitches about it, she will then own the problem.
But, in two weeks I have men coming over. Men who turn on the light and stand up and look down into the toilet. Men who will see my ring around the bowl. So I googled.
I ponied up $11.54 and sent off to wherever for Shaw's Pad on a stick. http://shawspads.com/. ; That was on Tuesday. It arrived just now and I pulled it out of the bag and went to the toilet. Unfuckingbelievable. I was so glad I have two toilets because the first one had every single bit of the stain gone so fast I forgot to take a picture!
The down side is that now the bottom of the seat looks like shabby. Guess it's time for new lids.
