Protect yourself, and best of luck.
Let us know how you get on when you can.
Thanks Mups

Oh ok, thanks for that Judd.

Limescale comes up a lot in the replies. Thanks everyone, but we live in a lovely soft water area up here, so I'm really not convinced it is that. But perhaps I'm wrong about limescale only being in a hard water area?

That stain is both high up, and more or less even round the bowl so the water level must have been that high at some point.
Consequently, I would feel very wary of flushing it unless I knew it was clear,
otherwise it might all 'rise up' again.

I've only got Dulux Once and ONCE just about sums it up, once you've used it you never use it again

Also lots of disposable gloves. I remember clearing my late uncle's place after he died, the police gave me eight pairs of gloves, nowhere near enough. At least I didn't have to clean his loo! There were ashes from the fire halfway across the living room floor and years old Xmas cake in the cupboards, he'd had one slice from each.
Only good thing about it was we found £13,000 stashed away! Had to hand it in though!
Be careful, we like you!
Oh I say, all that money... now you see it, now you're gone - what a bummer.
I'm not taking my potty there and putting it on that floor - I'd rather squat on the pavement
I'll be suited and booted, masked up, pegged nose and gloved ... breathtaking times ahead

But hey! Why clean it at all. If he is going back, leave it as it is, he might not appreciate a clean loo and above all, remember BLM...... Black Loos Matter.

Apparently it stinks of rotting food mixed with a pungent urine aroma
(Whew, it's a marathon lumping all the replies together innit)
