Okay, here comes that "a" word again but I don't have issues with my faucets, they look as good as the day we bought them. I do think I have seen CLR
at the Ace Hardware store here.
Thanks everybody!!!

I had to ask what she meant by the "a" word. I was thinking acid, but that didn't make much sense to me. Turns out she was thinking anal, as in I
am required to wipe the faucets with a micro fiber towel after every use. I must admit that the faucets do look great still.
But...I refuse to wipe the toilet bowl with a micro fiber after every use.
I think the world is run by C- students.

When the bucket got full.

I've used the wet/dry sand paper longlegs refers to. You won't need to rub very hard, it comes right off. Then I throw in one of those clorox tabs
to the tank. Works great, everytime!

Sorry, but

kitchen sink grease in the septic system can form paraffin wax which can seal off the drains.
A caustic based cleaner is a better alternative and will actually help break up scale and residue in your septic tank as well...

I wouldn't put anything in a septic system that would destroy the process. Microbes don't like caustic cleaners much.

Thanks Everybody! Want you all to know that our toilets never looked so great! Not sure what worked best because I used vinegar with pumice,
anti-sarro with pumice, and a product called "Harpic Removedor de 100% Sarro with pumice. Appreciate all the help.
