The real breakthrough? A combo of baking soda and vinegar.
I whipped it into a thick paste, spread it over the stains, and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Then I gave it a solid scrub with an old toothbrush, and years of grime vanished. Still saw a few lingering spots?
That’s where the Magic Eraser stepped in. I was honestly amazed at how quickly it cleared up—almost embarrassing how simple it turned out to be.
For deeper, more stubborn discoloration, hydrogen peroxide did the trick.
I soaked a few paper towels in it, laid them over the stains, and let them sit for an hour. No damage, no scrubbing—just lifted the yellow right off. (Quick heads-up: never mix peroxide with vinegar—it’s a dangerous combo.)
Meanwhile, I tackled the inside of the bowl with a pumice stone and gave it an overnight soak with Borax, which made mineral stains disappear like magic.
Now? Cleaning the toilet is part of my Sunday routine.
It’s not glamorous, but it makes the whole bathroom feel fresh and ready for company.
A few bonus tips: if your toilet brush smells funky, soak it in peroxide.
And don’t forget to clean the seat hinges, the base, and even the floor—it all makes a difference.
Honestly, walking into a spotless bathroom doesn’t just impress your guests—it gives you that “I’ve got this” feeling, even if the rest of your place is a mess.
