It’s one thing having limescale in your loo, but when it turns brown it’s a step too far!
Salts and iron in water cause this, so you need to treat the limescale itself.
Dissolve 250g citric acid powder (from the chemist) in a bucket of hot water and pour slowly into the bowl. It’ll start to fizz as it dissolves the limescale, so swish around with a loo brush to help.
When the fizzing stops, flush. Repeat if necessary.
Keep the limescale at bay by pouring a bottle of clear vinegar into the bowl about once a month; leave overnight before flushing away.
