Even if the toilet seat is white, it starts to turn yellow over time, especially if we don’t use bleach regularly when cleaning it. As we know, this appearance is unpleasing and always looks dirty, fortunately, there are home solutions. Let’s see how to clean a yellow toilet seat.
Specifically, we’re going to apply product mixes that can whiten, get rid of stains, and at the same time, act as disinfectants.
How to remove yellow stains from the toilet lid
While it is true that the market provides us a wide variety of whitening products, as we well know, they consist of components that are harmful to our health.
In this case, we will look at 3 highly effective methods for eliminating yellow stains from the toilet lid:
1. Bleach
Bleach is a cleaning product that should never be missing in your home. It’s also the most effective way to leave your home sparkling white, streak-free, and especially disinfectant.
- First, if the toilet seat is plastic and removable, it’s even better to rinse it in a bucket or sink.
- We will blend a generous splash of bleach into the water where we flood it and let it sit for a while until we see that it is completely white.
- Alternatively, if you can’t get rid of the toilet seat, use a sponge to thoroughly soak the entire seat with the bleach and water mixture. Let it sit for a while and then remove it with a cloth filled with plain water; rinsing will suffice.
- When we delete the cover from the sink filled with water and bleach, if we don’t like the smell of bleach, we can add some soap and dry it with a clean cloth.
- Finally, we put the toilet lid on and that’s it.
2. Whitening mixture with only 3 ingredients
If we don’t like bleach, we can use another similar disinfectant:
- We begin by blending 4 tablespoons of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and we also add 1 tablespoon of white toothpaste, forming a paste.
- Then we take a sponge and apply this combination all over the toilet seat, spread it, and rub lightly. We let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Finally, we use a cloth with water to get rid of the mixture and dry with a dry cloth.
