Having a yellow streak or residue in your toilet can be unsightly and can ruin the appearance of your toilet.

Fortunately, you don't have to spend a lot of money on chemicals to get rid of the stains. Vinegar and lemon come to the rescue.

Causes of stains

Old pipes and poor quality tap water can cause yellow stains to appear on the toilet surface.

A yellowish streak may form if the barrel is leaking.

However, there is no need to panic, because to get rid of them you do not necessarily have to resort to using aggressive means.

Food vinegar

It is really easy to clean away plaque from the toilet if you use regular vinegar.

To do this, apply vinegar to the inside of the toilet and leave for 6-8 hours. During this time, the plaque will soften and begin to fall off before your eyes.

All you have to do is wipe the surface and rinse with clean water. Before you begin, don't forget to scoop out as much water as possible from the toilet.

Citric acid

Lemon and table salt work wonders. Sprinkle some salt on one of the lemon halves and thoroughly scrub the dirt on the inside of the toilet.

After 3-4 hours, scrub the dirty areas with a brush and rinse with water.

Now your toilet is clean and sparkling again.
