Your toilet is hiding grime under the rim
How to clean under the toilet rim
Lift the seat, squeeze toilet cleaner up under the rim, leave it for the label time (about 10 minutes), scrub upwards with the toilet brush, then flush.
Use one toilet cleaner only. Never mix toilet cleaner with bleach or another cleaner: together they can release toxic gas. Keep the window open and wear gloves.
Never mix cleaning products. Bleach plus ammonia, vinegar or other acids releases toxic gases. Use one product at a time, rinse between them, ventilate, and unplug appliances before you clean them.
