Although the toilet seat and lid are factory-white, they start to turn yellowish over time, especially if we don’t use a strong bleaching product when cleaning them.
The problem of a yellowed toilet seat is not only aesthetic: the presence of these stains also suppose an accumulation of dirt and bacteria that can be harmful to health.
Below we suggest 3 home tricks to remove yellowish stains from the toilet seat effectively and in the shortest time possible.
Make-up with toothpaste and baking soda
Mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of white toothpaste. Continue stirring until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Apply the mixture to the surface of the toilet seat and use a sponge to rub well. Leave for 10 minutes.
Finally, use a damp cloth to remove the residue of the compound and clean the surface of the toilet seat well.
Make-up with vinegar
White vinegar is a great ally for household cleaning: besides disinfecting, it has whitening properties that are very useful for cleaning the toilet seat.
Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 140 ml of white vinegar. Use this solution to clean the toilet seat with a sponge.
Let it work for a few minutes, then remove with a clean cloth and finally dry well.
Make-up with bleach
If the tricks described above do not have satisfactory results, we can only resort to a powerful product like bleach.
If the toilet seat is made of plastic and can be easily removed, it should be removed to soak in a bucket or bathtub in a solution of water and bleach. Let it soak for a few minutes, then rinse and dry well.
If it cannot be removed, apply the water and bleach mixture directly to its surface. After a few minutes, rub well with a sponge and rinse with a clean cloth. Remember to wear gloves and mask.
