Yellow stains in the toilet can be a stubborn and unpleasant sight. While there are countless expensive cleaning products on the market, nothing beats the simplicity and effectiveness of grandma’s tried-and-true methods.

Ingredients
Baking soda – 1/2 cup
White vinegar – 1 cup
Lemon juice – 2 tablespoons
Warm water – 1 liter
Toilet brush
Optional: A few drops of essential oil for a fresh scent
Directions
Prep the area: Flush the toilet to ensure the bowl is damp but not overly wet.
Apply baking soda: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of baking soda evenly over the stains in the toilet bowl.
Add vinegar: Pour 1 cup of white vinegar over the baking soda. Allow the mixture to fizz and sit for about 10 minutes.
Add lemon juice: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of lemon juice over the stained areas for extra cleaning power and a fresh scent.
Scrub thoroughly: Use a toilet brush to scrub away the yellow stains, focusing on areas around the waterline and hard-to-reach spots.
Rinse: Pour the warm water into the toilet bowl to rinse off the cleaning mixture. Flush the toilet to complete the process.
Repeat if necessary: For stubborn stains, repeat the process or let the mixture sit for an additional 15 minutes before scrubbing.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Though this is a cleaning recipe, the fresh and chemical-free results it provides will leave your bathroom feeling as clean as new.
Storage: Keep the ingredients (baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice) in airtight containers in a cool, dry place for future use. For pre-mixed cleaning sprays, store them in labeled bottles for easy access.
