Nobody wants yellow stains on their toilet seat, but no matter how often you clean your loo the pesky marks can be hard to shift. In fact, cleaning is sometimes the cause of stubborn stains. Along with culprits like limescale, urine and toilet water, undiluted bleach might also be the route of the problem - as strong chemical can discolour white plastics.
Thankfully, Mrs Hinch fans have a simple solution for anyone with discoloured seat - and it could leave your toilet sparkling once more for just 38p.
The easy-to-use tip was recommended online after a Facebook user shared: "I'm so embarrassed about the look of my toilet seat as it’s yellowing at the rim no matter how much I clean it, it still looks yellow.
Thankfully, there are several cleaning solutions (stock photo) (Getty Images/iStockphoto)"Is there anything I can do to get rid of the yellow or do I need a new toilet seat?"
In response to her post shared to Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips, the group's gurus were quick to offer advice. Some said scouring powder could work and others advised trying The Pink Stuff. Meanwhile, magic eraser emerged as another firm favourite.

"Magic eraser with bicarbonate of soda is miraculous," read one reply, while a second said: "I thought I would have to replace mine but I used a magic eraser and that did the trick."
Another fan who again suggested a magic eraser was confident the product would "lift most of the staining."
Available in a pack of four from Homebase for £1.50, the total cost of the hack comes in at 38p per sponge. The product is ideal for removing marks from multiple surfaces including white soled trainers and walls, according to Homebase's website.
"You don't need detergent or bleach due to the way the sponge becomes rough when exposed to water. Simply add water to the pad and rub away dirt and grime."
