There are several reasons a toilet seat has turned yellow and the first reason could be due to hard water, otherwise known as limescale.

Harsh detergents and chemicals are often used to clean toilets in an effort to destroy the odour and stains, however, some of these cleaners can be damaging to a toilet seat’s finish.

For example, despite being known for its whitening properties, excessive bleaching of a toilet seat may cause it to turn yellow over time.

Urine stains are also a common reason toilet seats turn yellow. If households don’t clean their toilet seat after every use, urine could be building up and causing the seat to discolour.

With this in mind, cleaning enthusiasts have taken to the Mrsh Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks Facebook page to share their best methods of removing toilet seat stains after one woman was in need of advice.

Posting a picture of a toilet seat covered in dark yellow stains, Claire Burns wrote: “Hi all, I saw a post a few weeks ago that I can no longer find about stains under the toilet lid.

“This is the result of cleaning my toilet once a week and the stain it leaves behind after cleaning.

“Maybe I should have cleaned it more often as I didn’t realise the toilet seats would stain and have never had this happen before. Is there anything I can do before having to replace the seat?”

The majority of group members suggested that Claire use the Pink Stuff Paste to remove these stains.
