Homemade trick to make your toilet gleam with two cheap ingredients

In stores, we can find various types of bathroom cleaning products, including toilet cleaners. We often struggle with limescale and yellow stains when cleaning them. But can they be cleaned without using harsh chemicals? It turns out they can, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

The toilet seat is often white, making dirt visible in front of our eyes. Moreover, removing it is not the most straightforward task. As reported in "Super Express," toilet seats in American homes are often made of stainless steel, plastic, or polypropylene. There are homemade ways to remove stains and limescale from them that are not expensive and can work even in half an hour.

We often use the same detergents to clean the toilet seat as we do the entire toilet, but that's not the best approach. The stains on the toilet seat may not be tackled effectively.

Cleaning the toilet seat presents quite a challenge. Among ready-made chemical agents, we have to choose whether we want thorough cleaning or to avoid damaging the delicate surface.

However, a homemade method is both practical and gentle on the surface. We need to use toothpaste—the cheapest, white kind. None of the black pastes with added charcoal will work here.

Mix the paste with citric acid and apply it to the stained toilet seat. The mixture should be left for at least half an hour, and then thoroughly scrub the seat and wipe it dry.

Thanks to its properties, citric acid perfectly removes yellow stains and limescale. It also has descaling properties and whitens, just like toothpaste. This inexpensive set will make the toilet seat shine like new.

Citric acid was created as an additive for food and used only in the kitchen. However, over time, it has many uses and one crucial advantage—it is safe for humans and the environment.

Citric acid can also remove dirt from the bathtub or sink, clean the microwave, and remove deposits from cups and dishes. It can also describe the kettle, coffee machine, and dishwasher or washing machine.
