In toilet bowls, when hard water with high mineral content comes into contact with the porcelain surface, the scaling reaction occurs. This results in the deposition of minerals on the bowl, forming the characteristic chalky white or brownish stains.\n
With continued exposure to hard water, these stains accumulate and become increasingly challenging to remove. The longer the stains persist, the more firmly they adhere to the toilet bowl surface.\n
