How to Lighten a Yellowed Toilet Seat: 3 Easy Tips (Page 2 ) | August 23, 2025

1. Bleach

Bleach is a cleaning product that should never be missing in your home. It’s also the most effective way to leave your home sparkling white, streak-free, and especially disinfectant.

• First, if the toilet seat is plastic and removable, it’s even better to rinse it in a bucket or sink.
• We will blend a generous splash of bleach into the water where we flood it and let it sit for a while until we see that it is completely white.
• Alternatively, if you can’t get rid of the toilet seat, use a sponge to thoroughly soak the entire seat with the bleach and water mixture. Let it sit for a while and then remove it with a cloth filled with plain water; rinsing will suffice.
• When we delete the cover from the sink filled with water and bleach, if we don’t like the smell of bleach, we can add some soap and dry it with a clean cloth.
• Finally, we put the toilet lid on and that’s it.

2. Whitening mixture with only 3 ingredients

If we don’t like bleach, we can use another similar disinfectant:

• We begin by blending 4 tablespoons of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and we also add 1 tablespoon of white toothpaste, forming a paste.
• Then we take a sponge and apply this combination all over the toilet seat, spread it, and rub lightly. We let it sit for about 10 minutes.
• Finally, we use a cloth with water to get rid of the mixture and dry with a dry cloth.

3. Mix with 2 ingredients

White vinegar is a great ally in the home. It’s also a natural disinfectant and helps whiten when blended with baking soda.

• We blend 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1/2 cup of white vinegar, and with this combination we scrub the toilet lid using a sponge.
• Then we let it sit for as long as necessary, after a while we rub it a little and to finish, we get rid of it with a damp cloth.
• Finally, we use a clean cloth to dry the entire lid.
• We shouldn’t worry about the smell of vinegar or bleach; after a while it will neutralize and disappear.

Let’s apply all these homemade tricks to clean the yellow toilet seat, this way our entire bathroom will look spotless and dirt-free!
