The three things people ask first

Drop one tablet into the toilet tank, not the bowl. Place it away from the inlet valve so the cleaner releases evenly with each flush.

Pour Rust Remover liquid directly on the stain. Wait 10–15 minutes. Scrub with a toilet brush. Flush. Repeat once if the stain is deep.

Drop a Stain Away tablet in the tank. Hard-water minerals stop settling. Replace when the cleaner runs out, usually after a few weeks.
