Stained toilet bowl

I recently used a toilet cleaner from Aldi. After leaving it for about an hour it appears to have stained the toilet bowl - a pale shade of blue on avocado. (This is the exposed area of the toilet bowl below the rim and above the waterline)
Nothing seems to shift it - tried scourers, other toilet cleaners etc.
Any suggestions?

You need acid eg brick/patio cleaner from the builder's merchant.
Take appropriate safety precautions.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
You could try something like citric acid or vinegar first - a little less vicious perhaps, so a little safer. Soak for a while (use toilet paper to keep the solution in place above waterline) and then brush it hard before flushing, and keep your fingers crossed! Good luck.0

Cheap coca cola is a good cleaner - just pour a bottle down and leave it to do it's stuff and then flush and brush if necessary afterwards.
It works on white porcelain, not 100% sure if it would be ok on avocado - but I can't see why not.
Makes you wonder what's in the stuff and how it's safe to drink (coca cola that is!)
PS just read your post again and didn't realise it is above the water line -so not sure if it would work.0
