A stained and dirty toilet seat can be one of the most ugly sights in a home. Regardless of the cleanliness and aesthetics of the rest of the home, a dirty toilet seat can make all efforts go to waste. Although it is commonly believed that yellow stains on the toilet seat are only due to urine, they can actually be caused by the cleaning products themselves or even by limescale. To get toilet seats spotless again, Ms. Hinch fans have shared their methods for removing yellow stains from toilet seats.
Posting a photo of her toilet seat stained a bright yellow hue, Seal Myers wrote: ‘Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get yellow stains out of toilet seats?
“I’ve been using bleach a lot on my toilet lately so I think that’s what stained it.”
Bleach is great for disinfecting and making things bright white and clean. So, it can be confusing to know why a toilet seat turns yellow after cleaning it with bleach.
Bleach can react with other substances or materials, causing discoloration. On white surfaces, such as the toilet seat, but also a porcelain toilet bowl or fabrics, these spots of discoloration can look like yellow spots.

If stained toilet seats are left unattended for a long time, the stains become more and more unpleasant and difficult to deal with.
This is why it is important to get rid of toilet seat stains as soon as the stains are spotted.
To remove smudges, the band members loved a specific product in the comments section – the Flash Magic Eraser.
Debbie Jones said: “Flash Magic Eraser! Just wet it and rub the stain. Everything goes away instantly. I saw results in less than 10 seconds.
Ciara Stewart commented: “Definitely Flash Magic Erasers, worked brilliantly on my white toilet seat.”
Nikki Neil-Gordon wrote, “I often get this because my girls put the seat and lid on after I launder. I try to leave the seat up until I’ve rinsed off the bleach.
“I find that a magic eraser dipped in a bit of warm water to make it moist does the trick. Rub it in a bit, but it always goes away.
After another cleaning enthusiast recommended using magic erasers, Susan McAloon responded to the comment, “Believe me, I’ve tried everything and this is the only thing that worked.”

Vicky Rawlings added: “A magic sponge. Mine is the same, but mostly because of the boys missing the hole and pissing on the seat and then sinking.
“I use a magic sponge (although I cut it into small pieces and do all the toilet seats and then throw the small piece away) or if I have a disheveled one that I’ve used I put it aside for toilet seats. ”
This product claims to “clean like magic” and has “enough power to erase stubborn dirt everywhere”.
Stores such as Wilko and Sainsbury’s sell the Flash Magic Eraser for £2. These come in a pack of two, so that works out to £1 per sponge.
Another popular suggestion given in the comments section was to use Pink Stuff Paste and scrub the area.
Katie Arnold said: “Pink Paste and rub it in, works a treat. I use it on an old toothbrush.
Beth Watson wrote: “The pink stuff sticks 100%. I had stains on mine from the bleach and it faded instantly.
Emma Jane Mkillop added: “Pink Stuff Paste, not the spray, 100%. I have all the boys in my house and it works like a treat.
