What type of solutions work to clean hard water stains, yet won't harm my clearwater septic system?
I have tried everything on the hard water stains in the toilets, but I also have to be careful of the solutions I use. I cannot use bleach or extremely harsh chemicals because they will kill the "critters" in our clearwater septic system. Does anyone have some tried and true less harsh cleaning solutions for hard water stains? Thanks!

- My sister-in-law swears by "Melaluca" brand cleaning items. They are all made from the oil of a plant in Australia or something and work really well. I like the bathtub cleaner, myself. It gets all the soap scum off and leaves all the chrome finishings shiny! And they're not very toxic because the products are derived from a plant- my daughter got some of the anti-bacterial spray in her mouth and poison control said to just give her some milk and she'd be fine. I think they have a website. Sorry I don't have more info on it. Good Luck!
- ok,start out by pouring several buckets of hot water from your tub faucet down the toilet,then, mix some arm and hammer baking soda,limaway and some basic hair shampoo(it has ph in it),pour in toilet and scrubunder ,accross the top,inside and everywhere,let it sit for half hour and pour more hot water in it as well as tank

- My mom always used vinegar and boiled water.... I don't know how it works but it does. In my toilets I use half a gallon of vinegar (I know it's probably overkill, you could probably get away with using a quarter of a gallon) and a teapot full of boiling water. I let it sit for a few hours then use a scrub brush and then I have a very clean and mineral free toilet.
