I'm not a toilet queen but I think that bleach doesn't work for mineral stains, I don't know of a natural product but I've never had mineral issues. The steel wool could have scratched the toilet.

My toilet was like this. Alot of mineral/calcium build-up. I got some of it off with a pumice stone, but that was a ridiculus amount of work. My landlord came along with CLR and fixed it right up. They have this stuff and others at your local hardware store.
Good luck

Ditto to that. Make sure you push the water back into the tank before you clean it, it makes the job much easier.

Just take the toilet brush and "plunge" the toilet, it will force the water back in (thats how professional cleaners do it).
Good luck

bar keepers friend (simular to comet-but NOT the same- in a gold can) and a green scrubbie should remove the marks from the steel wool.

oh thank you my fellow toilet scrubbers! today is the big day! i bought some of that CLR....i was shocked when i got to the register and it was $12 ! i thought it would be like 3 or 4 bucks like everything else, didnt bother looking...but anyway thats irrelevant...i just figure it might be good to have on hand anyway since i really hate scrubbing the toilet and the pumice stone thing sounds great but god i really dont want to stick my hands in there again, lol...so anyway today i am going to CLR it and see if it helps as i didnt get all the mineral stuff off anyway...
i do drain the toilet as much as i can ( flush then quick shut the water off) but thanks for the tip about "plunging" it...good idea

yes! it looks like it will do the trick! thanks! although its not easy. i scrubbed till my arms were tired. maybe my toilet bowl scrubber is too old??
but it was taking off the gray stains. they arent totally gone but i can tell if i do it one or 2 more times they will go away. i looked at pumice today and i was thinking as i looked at it that really if i got pumice i would rather use it luxuriously on my feet, LOL than waste it on my tiolet...
