Will this sort of stuff work in a elsan toilet without eating holes in it? Some years ago our oldest (and really comfy) elsan developed a sort of brown emulsion finish that resists scraping and is too smooth even for a chisel to shift. As the stuff is smell free etc it doesn't seem to hurt but every so long we have a go at it!

Since then, LeeSan have produced a descaling fluid which is basically strong phosphoric acid, and I've been trying it for the last six months. I have to say that it does the job, both for toilets and other places where mineral deposits are unwelcome, such as kettles. You are recommended to use it at 10 - 20% dilution, but I've just used some neat on some stubborn scale on the base of my stainless steel kettle, and it was remarkably fast (as in, slosh 20 ml or so around gently and watch the scale dissolve.) It claims to be biodegradable, which I guess it is, eventually; just remember that your skin is certainly biodegradable under assault from strong acid and wear rubber gloves and eye protection whilst handling it (said it for you, Ron!) 末 All the best Bruce There are no strangers on the cut, only boaters we've yet to meet.
