hey grandpa troll, that guy is just not me

By the way, if you have one that's really nasty - janitorial stores have this heavy duty stuff that uses, if memory serves me correctly, hydroflouric acid. You MUST use goggles and gloves and long sleeves, I skipped the latter once and got my forearm burned. But if you have that really hard water that makes it difficult to clean - that stuff (I won't say crap - that's what you're supposed to be cleaning) really works. And once you poor it in - it's going to be REALLY sterile.

just pour a coke down there - its rumoured to clean even the toughest dunny

[Barinthus]

I actually tried that once... it didn't work.

What a waste

What a sorry bunch of winnies who don;t even know how to clean a bathroom. Jesus, cleaning the inside of a toilet is one of the easiets parts of cleaning a bathroom- any regular old toilet cleaner works, just spray some on, take your tiolet brush, scrub for 5 minutes tops, then flush. Hell, a chimp could do it. Cleaning the floor, the sink, the outside of the toilet, all those things take far more time. And then there is cleaning a bath-that is the real time killer.

Nah I wet the surface, sprinkle it with Comet and leave the tub alone until at the end after I've done everything else.

Then I turn the shower on, and step in, scrub the tub (the scum or wahtever usually just go off just like that) then when it's done, I take a shower and step out into a clean bathroom

[Mr. Harley]

Depends. I lived in an area where the water hardness went off the scale, which on most test kits goes up to ten. When calcium builds up on any surface, it becomes nightmarish to clean off, and in the toilet it becomes discolored and nasty. That's one I tried the local janitorial store and discovered the Hydrofluoric acid based stuff.

My wife actually likes cleaning the bathroom. Only thing she actually enjoys cleaning.

Hydroflouric acid is the most powerful acid there is. It's a gas in it's natural state (but so is hydrocholic and sulfuric).

HF is a weak acid in terms of ionization. One of the strongests acid is aqua regis

I wonder what a psychologist would make of that given you're not, ahem, up for it.

Using the laptop btw

Well, yes but ionization isn't the only thing to look for. Even though it's pKa is relatively high, it forms H2F+ ( self ionisation).

In any case, SbF5 HF is the strongest system known.
