Remind me again: removing stubborn toilet stains
I have seen posts on this in the past and I did try the emery board thingy we use calluses on our feet and it worked but not 100%, there is a small spot left that is driving me crazy, what will get it off? TIA

Re: Remind me again: removing stubborn toilet stains
I second using the magic eraser, try the bath scrubber one with Febreze
Just did this on our rental a month ago and have had no returning stain.
Using a toilet bowl cleaner, clean it really well. Flush. Then pour a gallon of bleach into the bowl, so that the water level rises much higher than the ring/spot. Leave the lid UP and close the bathroom door for the night.
The next day, flush a few times to be sure the bleach is gone.
Then, put on some rubber gloves and grab a scratch-free cleaning sponge (I use and highly recommend the blue 3M pads) and a good scratch-free powdered cleanser (I use and highly recommend the Bar Keeper's Friend - found at Home Depot and Target). You'll need a little elbow grease. You'll want to allow the cleanser to sit for a minute before scrubbing in, and you'll want to allow it to sit in the toilet - postscrubbing - for a few minutes as well.
What kind of stain is it? Is it a rust ring or something?
You should try "flushing" the bowl with a large bucket of water so the toilet does not fill up again.
Try a bleach based scrub like Comet to work on the stain. Maybe try that mineral cleaner CLR?
Good luck.
