Helpful tips unrelated to Golf.
My house has well water and with that a high mineral content, AKA hard water.
Toilets are a bitch to keep clean and I had to resort to caustic solutions like Santeen (acid) which is bad for septic fields.
I saw a blurb on a website about the wonders of WD-40, one of its many wonders is to spray the toilet bowl liberally.
Holy shit! It really does work? Waste slides away and mineral buildup is gone.
And WTF is in those Mr Clean Erasers? Those fuckers work great.Last edited by Bunion 2020; 02-13-2020 at 04:08 PM.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Your municipality is probably not crazy about potentially treating WD-40 tainted waste water but who knows maybe the Beer Bozeman is using in their wastewater plant can handle that too.

It also makes great cooking spray. We use it for omlettes and stir fry.

I’m about to use the oven to bake my new boot shells and do the rice trick for the liners.
I’ll let you know if it qualifies as a hack after I see the results.I still call it The Jake.

Bases are caustics, acids are corrosives. A bit of a distinction without a difference, but technically that's how they're classified.
Even a "liberal" application to a toilet bowl is probably only a few milliliters, so just one flush from a low-flow 1.6 gpf toilet is more than a 1000x dilution factor. A day's worth of flushes, sink use, showers, etc. probably results in a >100,000x dilution factor, i.e. de minimis. Scrubbing with a pumice stone will also take that stuff off without harming the porcelin and leave the bowl sparkling like new. More work than spraying with WD40, though.

If you know you’re going to post the picture, take your picture horizontally instead of vertically and you won’t get that fucked up orientation when you posted on the tgr.

Sponges work great if used carefully. Too much use or pressure and you'll knock the sheen off your paint leaving an area that shows from certain angles.

I didn't want to have to use the erasers so I just WD-40ed the whole interior of my house.
