Only way to keep your toilet from staining with iron is to remove
the source of the iron. If you do that, it won't matter how
"susceptable" the bowl is, and if you don't you might as well
get used to either looking at rust, or scrubbing.
If it's organic iron, and below the waterline, a scrubbing
with a nylon brush, and then a letting a good dose of bleach
(*OR* iron-out, but not both), sit overnight should work.
Is the toilet cistern also rust-stained? If so,
fix the water-supply. If not, what's rusting between
the two places to produce the stain?
