There are several natural remedies that can help you in the difficult task of restoring brillaince to your toilet seat:

• Baking soda and vinegar: sprinkle the seat with baking soda powder (which has a well-known whitening power), and spray white vinegar over the entire surface to remove limescale. Let the effervescence reaction finish and rinse off with a sponge.
• Toothpaste: If you use a whitening toothpaste, you can use it on your toilet seat. Let it act until it dries out, then remove the paste with a damp sponge.
• Citric acid and dish detergent: mix a glass of citric acid with 10 ml of dish detergent and use it as a normal toilet cleaning detergent.
• Lemon Juice: Lemon juice can also be used to clean away yellow staining. Rub half of a lemon all over the seat, then rinse off thoroughly and pat dry.
• Cola: among its many functions, Cola also has whitening properties. Take a glass and degas it (if it isn't already); ten pour a few drops directly on the yellow stains. Let this act for a few hours and then rinse off.
