In the bathroom, a large amount of dirt accumulates between taps, shower, tiles and fixtures.
In particular, in the toilet , yellow stains form due to the limescale that resides in the flush water .
The fact is that this dirt is not very pleasant to look at, so measures must be taken to remove it.
So let’s see together how to remove yellow limescale stains from the toilet and keep them from returning!
Coarse salt
One of grandma’s old remedies for the yellowness that forms in the toilet is the use of coarse kitchen salt!
It is in fact a very useful natural element both for cleaning and for restoring the shine and whiteness of ceramics .
So why not use it to remove yellow stains ? You can do it in just a few steps!
Pour a few tablespoons of coarse salt on the toilet stain , trying to make it adhere well. Leave it on for an entire night , then scrub with the toilet brush and flush.
If you see that the stain has not completely removed, you can repeat the operation until it is completely removed!
Bicarbonate
Another widely used remedy for yellow toilet bowls is undoubtedly sodium bicarbonate .
This too, like salt, is a natural whitener , and it is no coincidence that it is also chosen to make sheets whiter.

All you have to do is sprinkle the baking soda powder in the toilet and specifically on the stain.
Always leave it to act for a whole night or half a day, then rub with the help of the brush and you will start to see results!
Rinse well and that’s it!
Citric acid
In case of more stubborn yellow stains , you can also opt for citric acid .
This element, as well as the previous ones, are used to wash laundry or to make dishes and glasses shine in the dishwasher.
First, take 150 grams of citric acid and dissolve it in 1 liter of hot water. Pour everything into a spray container using a funnel.
Spray the mixture on the yellow stain and leave it to act for several hours, then proceed with the same steps described above. You can see it in action in this video:
NB I remind you that the following remedy cannot be used if you have marble or natural stone ceramics.
Lemon and vinegar
Have you ever tried to remove yellow stains in the toilet with lemon and vinegar ?
All you have to do, similarly to what is described for citric acid, is fill a spray container with white vinegar or wine vinegar and the juice of 2 lemons .
Spray the mixture obtained on the yellow stain and leave it to act overnight. The following morning, spray a little mixture again and scrub with the brush , then rinse.
If there is any product left in the vaporizer, use it to clean the steel! In fact, among the best solutions to make it shiny, vinegar and lemon are the best!
NB I remind you that the following remedy cannot be used if you have marble or natural stone ceramics.
Hydrogen peroxide
Finally we can also use hydrogen peroxide to remove yellow toilet stains .
First of all, you will have to get some 3% hydrogen peroxide, i.e. the 10 volume one, the classic one from the supermarket!
First spread some bicarbonate of soda on the stain and then pour the hydrogen peroxide over it , the two ingredients together will create a reaction generating a sort of foam.
As with the other methods, you will have to leave it to act for a night or half a day, then scrub with the toilet brush and that’s it, the stain will have faded considerably!
Again, similarly to vinegar, lemon and citric acid, this remedy cannot be used on marble and natural stone.

The toilet turns yellow due to water flowing into the toilet. Especially when there is a leak, the water never stops flowing, which is why the limestone contained in it deposits on the surface of the ceramic.
