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.

3. Mix with 2 ingredients

White vinegar is a great ally in the home. It’s also a natural disinfectant and helps whiten when blended with baking soda.

• We blend 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1/2 cup of white vinegar, and with this combination we scrub the toilet lid using a sponge.
• Then we let it sit for as long as necessary, after a while we rub it a little and to finish, we get rid of it with a damp cloth.
• Finally, we use a clean cloth to dry the entire lid.
• We shouldn’t worry about the smell of vinegar or bleach; after a while it will neutralize and disappear.

Let’s apply all these homemade tricks to clean the yellow toilet seat, this way our entire bathroom will look spotless and dirt-free!
