Let’s face it for just a moment—there is no worse feeling than walking into your bathroom the first time of the week, looking down, and seeing… that yellow-ish weirdly stubborn toilet seat stain. I’ve experienced it. Too many times. Be it hard water marks, weird stains, or permanent stains left over from cleaning routines, toilet seat stains are just the kind of thing that decides to make an appearance… and stick around.
I used to be the person who gave the toilet a quick scrub and then hoped the earth would take care of the mess. However, after accommodating one too many house guests who acted like inspectors with respect to your toilet and its cleanliness (you know the kind, they can see everything), I realized that I had to up my game with respect to all things toilet cleanliness—not just the bowl. The whole throne.
So if you’re staring at your toilet seat thinking, “Ew, what is that?” or if you are simply looking for how to really deep clean your whole toilet seat rig and everything attached to your toilet, this is for you.
Here is the method that I have been using over the years, plus a few strange things that I’ve found out of a weird combination of curiosity, desperation, and one bad experience involving bleach and a closed door. Let’s break it down.
