Goodbye yellow toilet bowl lines, detergents don’t solve anything: only then will the problem be eliminated

The bathroom is a place full of bacteria and sometimes cleaning it properly becomes really difficult, especially when yellow streaks form on the walls where the water flows. They are unsightly and make the bathroom look unkempt and in poor condition. Normally, the classic detergents available are not so effective and there are natural remedies that are much better.

Yellow streaks in the bathroom: here’s how to remove them

The yellow streaks that form in toilet bowls are mainly due to limescale.  These do not look nice and make the toilet bowl look dirty and unclean. One of the most effective methods involves using two ingredients found in the kitchen. These are  baking soda and vinegar.

The combination of these two, which are excellent allies in household chores, will make the yellow streaks disappear and give you a toilet as good as new. What you should do is sprinkle the inside walls of the toilet with baking soda and then sprinkle a little vinegar on top. Leave it to act overnight so that the two take effect and then scrub well with the toilet brush.

Other methods to clean the toilet and in particular the yellow streaks.

But vinegar and baking soda are not the only method, as you can also use other substances that act by removing unsightly yellow streaks from the toilet bowl. Here are some remedies that always use products found at home and do not use the classic supermarket products:

• Citric acid  : simply prepare a solution of 150 g of citric acid and 1 L of very hot water. Allow it to dissolve well without burning yourself and then transfer the solution to a spray bottle. The heat of the water will activate the acid and its functions. And spray it on the streaks and leave it to act for a few hours you will see that after rubbing with a brush there will be no more yellow streaks. However, it is important not to use this method on marble and natural stone.
• Lemon and Vinegar  : This is a milder and less dangerous combination than citric acid. Simply pour 2 cups of vinegar and the juice of two lemons into a spray bottle. Then spray it on the strips and let it sit overnight. Then scrub with a toilet brush and rinse. The stains will no longer be there. However, it is important not to use this method on marble and natural stone.
• Salt  : just sprinkle a little coarse salt on the strips, trying to make it stick. Then leave it to act overnight, scrub with a toilet brush and rinse. Salt will counteract the hardness of the water and is in fact an excellent ally against limescale even in the washing machine or dishwasher.
• Hydrogen peroxide  : the latter can be used alone or with baking soda for greater action. Simply pour baking soda on the yellow strips of the toilet bowl and then pour 3% hydrogen peroxide on them. A foam will be created which you will then scrub with the brush. Hydrogen peroxide is excellent for whitening and combined with baking soda the result is guaranteed.
