Harpic + Domestos toilet disaster

Oh dear, hopefully some moneysavingexperts can help my household disaster.

Was cleaning the toilet, squirted lots of Domestos and left it to get to work. Noticed I had a little bit of Harpic left and squirted this in too.

Ooops, although the limescale stains are gone, there is a blue-grey stain below the waterline.

Not going with scrubbing or wire wool.

Googling for an answer not helping.

Would love some advice as to how to get rid of this.

PS: rented flat and moving out next week!

    Go to your local supermarket for those blue blocks that you drop into the cistern.

    These turn the water blue, and after two flushes, no-one will see a blue mark below the waterline.

    It probably says on the Domestos and Harpic bottles "Do not mix with other cleaning products" .....

    Don't scrub it with wire wool, you'll take the shiny finish off.
    Try to ignore it, eventually it'll wear away, just only use one product. :)

    You seem to have been lucky to get away with only a blue loo!
