partial victory

Remember my awful toilet disaster?

Below, you see the marks left by the toilet snake. This is "before," i.e., before cleaning. I then drained the toilet partway by shutting off the valve, flushing the toilet, and manually scooping out as much water as I could. There was still water in the bottom, and I wasn't about to go in with sponges to get the rest of the water out. I then used my Barkeepers Friend, an abrasive that's reminiscent of Ajax or Comet (my American readers will understand), and used my toilet brush to scrub, scrub, scrub away the marks. 

I was partially successful. Look at the second picture.

Here's what partial success looks like:

Basically, it was easier to remove the markings from the parts of the toilet bowl that were dry. Next time I get in there, I may have to do the sponge thing after all to dry out the bowl.
