Yellow stains on the toilet are one of the most common problems that are not so easy to get rid of.

Most often, plaque appears due to mounting bolts, which rust over time.

In this case, prevention is the best solution, that is, installing stainless steel fittings.

However, the quality of the water itself is often the cause. For example, when the water supply is turned off and then dirty water comes out of the tap.

All this inevitably leaves streaks on the toilet.

3 ways to combat pollution

The fastest way to remove the yellow stripe is technical hydrochloric acid. It instantly removes rust.

However, please note that the substance is extremely caustic, so you need to work with it wearing thick rubber gloves and a respirator.

There are two ways to combat this using improvised means. Regular baking soda and table vinegar come to the rescue.

Baking soda is more of a preventative measure. Pour it into the tank and the yellow stripes will not appear at all.

If the yellow stripe has already appeared, pour a 9% vinegar solution into a spray bottle and apply it to the problem areas. Additionally, you will need to rub them with a brush.
