We have really really hard water, and get these really disgusting lime buildup stains in our toilets in our bathtubs. It looks like we have slovenly habits, and I hated how hard it was to clean the commodes.
My mom suggested I use a pumice stone, and.... oh my freaking goodness!! Brendan came home and asked when I had installed a new toilet. It looks so good!!!
So if you have hard water stains and you're trying to get them off of porcelain, check the cleaning aisle of your local megamart for cleaning pumice! I purchased mine at Wal-Mart; it was on the dish detergent, steel wool, etc aisle. It does take a bit of scrubbing, but with an utterly 'oh-my-god-that's-revolting' level of buildup, it took maybe 30 minutes. With a lesser stain, took 2-3.
.... yes. I'm excited about cleaning product. My life sucks. You may laugh now.

but gotta keep that in mind oo pumice stone..
Though, I later made a homemade solution of detergent, EDTA and acetic acid at the lab and it removed the stains just as easily.
I'm domesticated already and I'm okay with that. :)
I've tried EVERYTHING for these damned toilets, and I'm currently reading up on options for attacking the tubs. I -think- they're fiberglass, so can't use the pumice scrubbie.
But hee. :) Glad to hear I'm not the only domestically challenged person out there. :)
Here's a random idea. Have you thought about seeing if there is an LJ community dedicated towards questions on cleaning, joining it, and then posting your question? You might get an answer.
