Not only the bathroom tends to yellow over time, but also the toilet seat , on which it is easy to see yellow stains .
Usually, to whiten and clean it, we use some products available on the market, which contain chemicals and have a certain environmental impact.
But did you know, however, that it is possible to clean the toilet seat and re-whiten it using only homemade and natural ingredients? Okay, yes! Let’s see together how to do it!
Sodium bicarbonate
The first remedy we suggest is to use the well-known baking soda , which is an ingredient that has cleaning, degreasing and whitening properties , making it suitable for removing yellow stains from the toilet seat.
All you have to do is add some baking soda to a bowl and then slowly pour in the water until you get a kind of pasty mixture.
After that, apply it on the tablet and let it sit for about 20 minutes before removing it. Finally, rinse and your toilet seat will be white again!
percarbonato
Similar to baking soda, but more effective and with a more powerful whitening action, is sodium percarbonate , considered an ingredient that can also whiten clothes without using bleach.
However, for its whitening function to be activated, it must be mixed with hot water (temperatures must be at least 30°).
Then spray the toilet seat with a little percarbonate and then moisten the area with a little hot water. Leave it on for about 15/20 minutes and then rinse.
Alternatively, you can also create a solution by mixing the percarbonate with hot water and then pouring the resulting solution over the surface. Let it sit for a while, then scrub, rinse and you’re done!
Attention! Do not confuse percarbonate with perborate, which instead has levels of toxicity for the environment.
lemon cake
Obviously, when it comes to whitening and cleaning naturally, we cannot fail to mention lemon , known since our grandmothers for its ability to remove yellow stains from clothes!
So why not use it in the bathroom? Then cut a lemon and use half of the lemon directly as if it were a natural sponge to wipe over the toilet seat. So let it sit for a while, time to work, then rinse!
Marseille soap
There is no surface in the house that cannot be cleaned with Marseille soap , the ingredient with very delicate cleaning properties.
In this case, just add a few flakes of this soap to a container with warm water and dip a sponge in it.
Next, run it over the surface of the toilet seat, rub to make sure it degreases well, and let it sit. Finally, rinse and the toilet seat will be perfectly clean.
