Apply baby oil directly to the stain or onto the pumice stone.
Gently scrub mineral lines, rust rings, or hard water buildup.
Flush again to rinse.
Optional: Wipe around the bowl with a damp cloth.
✔ Safe for porcelain if both the pumice stone and the surface stay wet.
🏛️ A Quick History of Pumice Stone Cleaning
Did you know?
Pumice — a light, porous volcanic rock — has been used since ancient Greek and Roman times for personal and household cleaning.
Its natural abrasiveness makes it tough on stains, but gentle on surfaces — especially porcelain and stainless steel.
🔬 Why This Combo Works
Pumice = Gentle Abrasion
It acts like ultra-fine sandpaper to lift away buildup, rust, and grime — without scratching hard surfaces.
Baby Oil = Lubricant + Shine
Softens residue, breaks down grime, and leaves behind a subtle polished finish.
Together = Chemical-Free Deep Clean
