Bleach makes yellow toilet stains ‘worse’ - use genius 44p item that ‘works in seconds’
While it may seem embarrassing, yellow toilet seat stains are common in many households. However, they can be a nightmare to remove.
Cleaning expert demonstrates out to clean your toilet
Toilet cleaning can be a tough chore. You can scrub for hours and still find yellow stains on your toilet seat.
In a bit to remove stains on their toilet seat, Lilian Beckett took to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page to ask for advice.
She said: “White toilet seat going yellow on edge, what should I use to clean it?”
In this situation, many would opt to use bleach to clean their toilet seats, however, group members claimed that bleach should be avoided.
They claimed that bleach “doesn’t work” and, if anything, it “makes it worse”. Suzi Robinson said: “Bleaching doesn’t work.” Theresa Turner wrote: “I found bleaching makes it worse.”

Michael Barnes said: “Never use bleach on the plastic toilet seats. It eats into the shiny resistant coating.”
Carol Meares warned: “Bleaching causes plastic to yellow.” Ann Stanton urged: “Don’t put bleach down the toilet and close the lid. The fumes will yellow the plastic.”
Instead many cleaning fans were raving about the abilities magic sponges have.
Christine Richards said: “After reading a comment on Facebook, I tried a magic sponge and it did a great job. I’d give it a try.”
