How To Remove Stains From Toilet Seat?
Not that we want to paint pictures in your head, but a stained and dirty toiler seat can be one of the most horrible sights in a house! Irrespective of how clean and aesthetic the rest of your house is, a dirty toilet seat can make all your efforts go down the drain (pun intended)!
Toilet seats are often prone to stains caused by hard water lines and lime stains. If you keep them unattended for a long period of time, the stains keep getting nastier and more difficult to deal with. This is why it is important to get rid of the stains from your toilet seat as soon as you encounter them.
When it comes to cleaning toilet seat stains, WD-40 is not the first thing that comes to people’s minds. This is because the brand is often associated with degreasing metals, lubricating doors, and dealing with vehicle maintenance. However, with a can of WD-40 Multi Use Product, nothing is impossible!
WD-40 can be readily used for removing stains from your toilet seat. Hard water stains are fairly similar to rust stains and the product works extremely well when it comes to dealing with rust. When you use WD-40 on your toiler seat, the product starts as a liquid and penetrates the rust particles while dealing with the surface they have accumulated on. The liquid then evaporates into a gaseous form, loosening the rust from the surface and making it easier for you to wipe it off.
Moreover, WD-40 creates a seal around the affected areas to stop the stains from sticking to the pores of the surface. This prevents your toilet seat from getting stained again easily.
Now that we are done with the science of removing stains from your toilet seat, here are the simple steps you need to follow for doing the same:
Things you will need
Toilet Brush
Step 1
Get A Can Of WD-40 Multi Use Product
As the name suggests, the WD-40 Multi Use Product can be used for a range of different household remedies and DIY maintenance activities. You can either order the product online or get it from a hardware store near you. It is advisable to have a can of WD-40 handy with you to use it in case of emergencies.
Step 2
Spray WD-40 On The Toilet Seat
Now that you have a can of WD-40 at your disposal, you can spray it on the stained portions of your toilet seat. It is important to note that the liquid is fairly potent and you do not need to spray a lot of it to get better results. Based on how big and nasty the stains are, a couple of good sprays should be enough to let WD-40 work its magic.
Also, before you spray the liquid on your toilet seat, make sure you read the safety instructions written on the back of the can. It is also important to make sure that there is enough ventilation around you as you clean stains off your toilet seat.
Step 3
Let The Liquid Sit For Some Time
After you are done spraying the liquid, allow it to sit for 8 to 10 minutes. This would allow WD-40 to penetrate within the stain particles and loosen them up. If you are dealing with stains that are old and tough, you may need to wait a little longer before it is time to scrub it off.
Step 4
Scrub And Clean The Stains
Once you have allowed the liquid to settle down for a bit, it is showtime! Take your toilet brush and scrub the liquid along with the stains off your toilet seat. You will notice how easily the stains come off and how the toilet seat restores its original look. Although the magic works during the first scrub itself, you can repeat the process if the stains are not completely removed in one go.
Final Word
This is how simple it is to remove nasty stains from your toilet seat using the WD-40 Multi Use Product. With the highly potent liquid, you can get yourself a sparkling clean toilet within a few minutes.
