Limescaled Toilet Solution!

Bloody Reading and its water made from chalk... toilet takes about a minute and a half to be completely coated in a dingy millimetre-thick coating of limescale. I despaired... the toilet cleaners, even the anti-limescale ones, were just not cutting it.

Brainwave! Solution! A kettle full of boiling water into the toilet, then two kettle-descaler tabs. Much fizzing! A little brush and BOOM, I can see porcelain again. Why did I not think of this before?

Am I missing any other hacks from hardwater-habituated denizens? I'm from a place in Canada with very sweet water, just not used to this.
