anyone else have recurring black mold in the toilet?

I'm pretty sure this has to do with us being on well water, since the chlorine and such isn't in there. I've noticed it sprouts every week or two right at the water line in the bowl. There's got to be an easy fix for this...can anyone help? 

Thanks in advance! 

Re: anyone else have recurring black mold in the toilet?

  • I am no help, but we have this too! We moved to NE Edmond in May, and I've noticed it every week or two. We never had it in our house in OKC. I'll be interested to see if anyone has an easy fix.

  • We don't have black mold but an orange ring from Norman's awesome water supply. Equally annoying and have yet to find a good solution.
  • We get the orange lines really bad too.. and I want to tell people, "I swear! I clean my toilets!"

    Have you tried putting one of those cleaners in the tank? I would not suggest that gel thing from Scrubbing Bubbles that you stick to the inside of your toilet bowl... we tried it once, and the scent is nauseatingly strong.

  • We have it at our house. I notice that when I put the Scrubbing Bubbles (maybe?) gel in the bowl, it stays away. But, when it runs out or I don't replace it, the mold comes back fast.

  • I'm so glad to hear that this is a real, widespread deal and not just us.  we were staying at SIL's house for the last 2 months and I scrubbed her toilets at least 2x a week because it just kept coming back.  I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why this was happening. I had never seen toilets get so dirty so quickly.  we just moved into our new house last week an already I'm noticing it in the toilet, but we're on city water here, not well water.
