PUMIE U.S Scouring Stick, Heavy Duty Extra Strong Pumice Cleaning Bar

A month or so ago, one of our toilets backed up, and some very icky sewage came up from the pipe downstream. It took a week to resolve the issue, since we had to call a plumber. After finally getting the problem resolved, I noticed that some of the little bits of sewage that had been in the toilet must've left a bit of rust around the toilet, staining the bowl in many spots (the spots were dark brown in the middle, with light brown around the center). After purchasing and trying every known toilet cleaner (I tried Clorox, Scrubbing Bubbles and Lysol, then poured in CLR and scrubbed with it), I was getting nowhere. I even tried denture cleaning tablets, but to no avail. I read about pumice stone, and how it might help clean a toilet bowl (and other nonporous surfaces). I was a bit nervous, though, because some spoke of damaging or dulling the polished porcelain surface (in the end, my fears were unfounded). I pulled the stone out of the box, and got to work scrubbing one half of the toilet. The pumice wore away slowly, kind of like a rough piece of sidewalk chalk, and deposited a light grey sludge in the bottom of my toilet. I flushed every minute or two, to make sure the sludge didn't build up too much. After about ten minutes, the right half of the toilet bowl was done--and it looked immaculate! Another ten minutes, and the toilet bowl was clean as new. If only every cleaning product worked so well! I still have over half the stick left, and I'll be saving it for the next time there's an impenetrable stain somewhere in the kitchen or bathroom. This stuff really works! It requires a little elbow grease, but where every chemical cleaner failed (even with hard scrbbing with sponges and brushes), this pumice stone excelled. Highly recommended for stubborn rust/mineral stains!

This is a simple pumice stick that cleans toilet bowl ring in a fast, efficient way. This is how I do it a) flush the toilet and turn off the water so the water does not rise up -- makes it easier to see stains in order to clean b) using medium pressure make scrubbing motion using the pumice stick on the stained toilet bowl ring .. takes less than one minute and the stains are all gone c) turn the water back on and use your toilet as normal. It's so simple I bought three sticks and placed them in each of my three bathrooms. I can get rid of all of the toilet bowl ring stains in less than five minutes. Ridiculous easy!!!! Because it is a fairly good size stick, at no point does your hands even come remotely close to touching the toilet --nice. I have used it about 5 times and there's still over half a stick left ( the pumice comes off as you clean so the stick gets shorter and shorter -- similar to how a chalk gets smaller and smaller as you use it ). I buy this stick at Walmart which is cheaper than getting it at Amazon. Just get it! It will make life soooo much easier when it comes to cleaning toilet bowl rings and cost virtually nothing ( less than three bucks a stick ).

Left a nasty toilet looking brand new. I'm talking about a toilet that hadn't been cleaning in literally more than a year. You can imagine how disgusting that thing was. I don't even want to add any pictures in case someone just finished eating. But yeah, this thing works wonders.

This is an actual piece of pumice stone, not sand glued together. It is fairly light by nature, and is like a honeycomb of rock with lots of air voids. It looks just like in the picture, which is what I was hoping I would get. I used it to remove calcium buildup in the bottom of a toilet bowl. It takes some effort but works well. It wears down as you use it but doesn't fall apart just by getting water on it. I used about 1/2 to 1/3 of the stick to clean the bowl. It came in a Pumie box, like some other pumice stones I see on Amazon. The stone inside the box was shrink wrapped. The box was a little bit crumpled. Not sure if that happened in shipping or if this is a factory second or something. The stone was fine so I was fine. I've used a natural pumice stone to remove calcium before which worked well, this is like that one. Recently I've been looking around at the stores in my area to find a pumice stone for this job but I don't see the natural ones in the health and grooming sections of the department stores or in drugstores any more. They all have what seems to be sand glued together to make a stone, which does fall apart when you put it in water. That and some of the reviews about pumice stones here on Amazon made me nervous about this stone but for the price I decided to give it a try. Thankfully it is a good one and I can recommend it fully. It is priced quite well relative to others. I'll be getting more of them.

I bought this pumice stone to see if a pumice stone would remove dog hair form my car upholstery. It worked great. I used it about 30 minutes and got a lot of hair out. It works better on "slick" upholstery than on floorboards and carpet. Great product for the price. And was easy to use. Next, the toilet ring...

This little scouring stick works great. I was a little hesitant even after reading many positive reviews. I decided to try it out since other cleaners and scouring sticks did not seem to do the job as well as this one advertised. I simply put on plastic gloves and went to work. It helped clean the gross dark ring fairly quickly. It took me about 10-15 minutes to get the ring off. Pros: works great. Cons: unlike other scouring sticks I've tried, this one crumbles off as you scrub leaving the dust like particles in the water. They flush away, so that's not the problem, but the scouring stick got short really quick. Definitely a one time use depending on how much cleaning you need to get done. I still have a small piece left that I plan to use at the very next sight of even the slightest ring appear. Yes, I definitely recommend. Although they do not last long, I would rather pay the couple bucks each time than have spent more money on others that did not do the job.

Worked great to clean my sinks and toilet.

We rented a unit in a building that is probably 50 yrs old. I think the toilet might be almost that old too! We also have incredibly hard water in our area, and it leaves crud on everything. We don't have a dishwasher, so don't deal with that, but you can see the buildup in the coffee pot, and other such places. Our potty was disgusting. Hard to tell how many years of buildup was actually in there. It was not the top of the potty - we bought a new seat when we moved in. It was the ring around the bottom seat and just under that ring, where the water flows back into the potty from. I had tried all kinds of cleaners, even bought a steam cleaner that had a concentrated pointer on it. It loosened a little bit of stuff, but the years of hard water and dried urine crystals just would not budge. It not only looked disgusting, but smelled equally yuck. Lime Away did nothing, CLR did nothing, Lysol, etc etc. I tried at least six kinds of cleaner that did nothing but empty the pocketbook. I finally asked in an online group for creative ideas what they had tried for such a problem. I was told about a couple other cleaners (which I have not tried), and pumice. Several people recommended pumice, in fact, so I went on a search for one. I wasn't sure what I was looking for really, having never used it on anything but a rough heel of my foot. Those are thin little pieces of pumice for your skin, and I couldn't imagine it working on this nightmare of a potty. Well, found this stick. The "heavy duty" is what sold me on trying it. I hadn't looked locally, because I don't have the ability to get out of the house very often (physical limitations).Took a chance and ordered this one. It arrived, and today I went in to tackle The Beast! I armed myself with gloves and the pumice stick and a will to see white again. The stick MUST be wet and stay wet. That is easily accomplished when cleaning a potty by simply dipping it into the water inside. (I'd wet the stone first in the sink and dragged it over there - duh!) I sat down on the side of the tub and proceeded to tackle what must have been decades of hard water and old urine buildup. Gross! This stick was amazing! I wish I'd worn heavier gloves though, so be sure to use something like the kind you wash dishes with - I just used a simple plastic one and it tore! It took probably 35-45 minutes of scrubbing and flushing, scrubbing and flushing,but tah-dah! We now have a nice, clean WHITE potty! The water is also coming into the bowl much better with the buildup reduced so much around the rim holes. All in all, I used the entire stick on this decrepit potty. I'll be buying another one for sure. I'll tackle the old rust stains in the bathtub that CLR didn't remove. Highly recommend this stick for porcelain cleaning! And, it is pet-friendly. We have cats, and one of them was trying to stick her head over the bowl because she was nosy, but I didn't really want to use the hydrochloric acid cleaners in our tiny bathroom with no ventilation for both our sake and the pets' sake. No chemicals, no smells, just some elbow grease.

Our toilets looked new until rust stains started forming just below the rim on both. It looked awful. I prefer natural products so was very pleased to find this Scouring Stick here on Amazon. Ordered one and it arrived recently. Super easy to use and completely effective! I am so surprised and pleased. No more stains! Have just ordered more, one for each bathroom, one for the basement, and another for kitchen (oven) duties. I highly recommend it, not only because it does what it says, but because it's not harmful to us or our environment - 2 highly important qualities!

Used for cleaning the bottom of toilet bowls that are very hard to clean, The pumie stick works reasonably well but does require a bit of effort.

solo necesitaba limpiar un inodoro y aunque se gastó medio barra del pomex, sí quedó desmanchado. Puedo olvidar los líquidos, geles, limpiadores de todas marcas y de todo tipo, la talladera y la navajita para tratar de desprender el sarro de años que se forma con el agua dura de mi ciudad. Ahora solo con este producto del cual aún me quedó media barra para un próximo uso, y sin mas problemas, y sin mas gastos, asunto resuelto.

I used it inside my oven doors and it did a wonderful job removing burn stains . Would recommend and will repurchase.

Sin duda el producto no es barato ya que se deshace con facilidad al tocar el agua pero es una maravilla ya que quita toooodo el sarro, es una excelente opcion para casos críticos. Lo amé
