One user suggested: "The only thing that worked for me was a pumice stone on a stick. The limescale came away like a stone…then binned it (couldn’t be flushed). Bought the pumice stone from Amazon.”
"A pumice stone really does work, tried everything to get urinals/toilets scale-free. I got mine from Amazon - ones that also have a handle which is great.” Another user advised.

A third commented: "I did my son’s in his house that he had just moved into. I used a cheap pumice stone from Home Bargains or B&M and rubber gloves.
