" No matter how hard I scrub my toilets, I cannot get rid of the well-water stains. I&amp;#039;ve tried tried practically every toilet bowl cleanser (bleach made it worse). Any advice? \u2014 Cailey Barnes via e-mail Yup, chlorine bleach is a no-no \u2014 it accelerates rust if there&amp;#039;s iron in your water. Instead, try a rust remover with oxalic acid in the ingredients list. Turn off the water valve and flush the toilet until all the water drains. Use the remover as directed; follow all safety instructions (and wear old clothes!). Turn the water valve back on; flush to rinse. If that doesn&amp;#039;t work, try commercial-grade hydrochloric acid (ask your plumber for a source). Again, follow the safety advice; it&amp;#039;s a very strong chemical.  How it worked: &amp;quot;The oxalic acid product did nothing,&amp;quot; Cailey reported. &amp;quot;But I found a 23 percent hydrochloric acid cleanser. After two treatments, it faded the stain.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
