(More customer reviews)We've found a wonderful bathroom bowl cleaner referred to as "The Works" (available at Wall-Mart and other stores, but can be somewhat hard to find). It makes cleaning a toilet real easy. However, even with this miracle worker, a slight faint ring is evident and that has always bothered my wife. We picked up a Pumie and it 90% removed the faint ring. I'm impressed!
I'm a geologist, so please pardon the following analysis. Pumice is a natural volcanic glass and, as such, has just about the same degree of hardness (resistance to scratching) as the toilet bowl porcelain. The package says that the product is safe. Well, pumice is not toxic in any way so by safe they probably mean won't scratch porcelain. But they then warn about usage on colored bowls, where scratching would be more evident. I suspect that the rather remarkable ability of this pumice stick product to remove that ugly stain is producing minor, mostly microscopic, surface damage to the interior of the bowl each time that it is used. Whether this makes any difference is open to question. If you replace your bowl every ten or twenty years, then go ahead and use it with vigor. If you expect the bowl to remain like new for the life of the house, you're probably going to start to notice the scratching and it will probably give the porcelain a dull non-glazed finish. So what should one do? Well, I'm going to use it (sparingly) in that I won't be around long enough to view the damage and even if I am, a toilet bowl isn't all that expensive or difficult to replace.
