Limescale in toilet - urgh!

Hello everyone,

My daughter lives in Dorset and when she moved into her current house, the bottom of the toilet was practically black. Vile, I know!

Since then she has tried every know toilet cleaner on the planet to clean it. The problem seems to be thickly encrusted limescale that every stain clings to. She's very environmentally aware and doesn't want to go down the harsh chemicals route. She's very sensitive to chemicals anyway, as she has asthma and eczema. I've sugested borax and similar stuff but nowt seems to work!

Has anybody else had this problem and what did you do to rectify it?
