I hate to admit it, but I have had to use a razor blade to get the ring from around the sink. Even with daily cleaning, we get hard water and mineral deposits built up around it. Nothing works, not even CLR.
I will remember cucumber juice.

Once the glaze is scratched the stain becomes impossible to remove because it works into the porcelain. Which is why I stopped using the pumice stone.
Might give the cucumber a try...and if it seems to work I'll plant a couple hills. :lol:

That CLR did a number on me....very caustic product...couldn't even hardly breathe with the smell. Gave it to my husband to keep in the garage. Oddly enough I use that bathtub cleaner Scrubbing Bubbles and although it doesn't remove all of it...it does help a lot. I too am very interested in finding a method that won't kill me in the process of cleaning.
