I got this, and it left gray scratch marks on the inside of the toilet bowl. Is this avoidable in any way?

Not sure how that would happen if inserted properly. Mine had a rubber boot at the curve. You insert that all the way in the hole. The metal snake would only be coming out deep inside the toilet where not visable, so there shouldn't be any scratching possible. Make sure to retract it while still inserted all the way as well.

I agree with SRR - you just have to be sure to get it inserted all the way to the rubber boot, and remove it carefully as well. (I have scratch marks too, because I was hasty and didn't listen to my own advice - go figure)

I don't have any scratches in mine but I keep the grates down all the time. My sink get used a lot too!

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

All stainless steel will scratch through use...it's part of the charm and character. I love my sink! Especially since it was so economical and comparable in quality to much more costly "brand" name sinks.

I have just purchased the toilet and installed lately, have not thought about replacing yet. Try direct to Thetford, or my last toilet I went to home depot and bought an elongated seat. A slight medication and it worked. That's all I can offer. Bud

I believe they would solve your problem. My hard water buildup was very bad. It did take one pad to clean one bowl. After five minutes of scrubbing, the pad was shot. The pads are not that expensive when you consider the toilet bowl will look like new.I am not a fan of the pumice stone. I tried it in the past and I ended up with scratched porcelain. If your buildup is severe, you might want to just use the pumice stone to remove the top layer and then use the pad. I could not believe how well the pad worked on its own in so little time.

I remember on the label it said to just send it in to them and they'd replace it. Mine is still PERFECT and I use it ALL the time, about every day, but some times more often than that. I love this pan. I use bamboo in mine, and it has not scratched at all, it's still as nonstick and smooth as when I got it.

I have not had any issues, but I avoid using any "green" scrubber type cleaning. It's not surprising it scratched. I usually just soak it in warm soap water and wipe with a cloth to clean them.

I would also assume it is scratched or damaged. Mine does not have that problem.

We just bought ours and washed it for first time tonight. Before packing her first lunch, we noticed the black smudges, mostly in grooves and near edges though also some on flatter portions of the pieces. After scrubbing and scraping, it mostly is coming off. It looks like something burned or remnants from manufacturing (since ours is brand new). I emailed the company for information; we'll see if they replace.

I use mine for mixing with a hand mixer and have not had any problems with scratching. It is made of very heavy material and hand washes up very easily. I love that the rubber (?) on the bottom holds it to the counter while mixing. I love these bowls!

I was worried about that ,i used it any way,so far it doesn;t scratch.my wife says it take of scum that builds up from soap ,before we used it we thought ourtub finish was wearing of ,because of rough places in the tub,but the brushremoved the scum,and our tub shines like a new penny.p.s. i didn't see any scrathes.

mine is scratched up and worn out in less than a year...I really wish they would make this with a plastic adult seat. I complained and they sent another, but same thing. I even used gentle baby shampoo to see if it was the lysol wipes I was using causing the problem. I love the function of the seat. It's the BEST. But replacing them after not even a year of use, is not great.

I've done that. I haven't had any problem w/ leaks. Usually it remains stuck to the bottom of the toilet if you pull it back up. Just do it carefully.I don't know if Fernco would back that claim though.

Never tried it but my water softener guy told me to get cleaner for glass stove tops. It shouldn't scratch porcelain. I will try it soon myself.

You can try to contact the manufacturer. I bought another one (instead of buying the inner pot). I use the "scratched up" inner pot for foods that I know will not stick. Try this link.http://www.maxi-matic.com/product.php?productid=206&cat;=80&page;=1
