Toilet Seat Turned Yellow? (Reasons Why And How To Fix It)

If you've ever looked down at your toilet seat and noticed it's turned yellow, you're not alone. This is a common problem faced by many people, but what exactly causes it and how can it be fixed?

Many people believe that urine stains are causing the yellowing of plastic toilet seats. However, the most common cause is aging. Plastic will naturally yellow over time. UV rays, harsh chemicals, extremes of temperature and humidity can speed up the rate of aging.

Ways to Prevent/Slow Yellowing in the Future

1.Avoid Direct Sunlight

Since UV rays are the biggest culprit in prematurely aging, yellowing toilet seats, avoiding direct sunlight is the best way to slow down aging and prevent yellowing.

2. Put On The Toilet Lid

One way to avoid direct sunlight without blocking it from entering the bathroom is to cover the toilet seat itself.

3. Use Harsh Chemicals Wisely

To remove yellow stains that are not age-related, lemon juice, vinegar, and other substances can still do some stain-removal but are not as intense. If you get rid of non-aging-related stains soon after they develop, the stains will have less time to penetrate the plastic and grow worse over time.

This way, you can still do the cleaning needed without chemicals that will accelerate plastic aging.

Keeping Your Shower Door Clean

Whether you choose frameless or sliding doors, glass is often the material of choice for shower enclosures. How can we keep these shower doors pristine with such constant use?

Hard water builds up over time, and soap scum can take a toll on those shiny shower doors.

What’s the best way to keep glass shower doors clean?

1.Choose Glass With A Protective Coating

Your shower door should accentuate the beautiful stonework and intricate tile designs in your bathroom, not the soap scum and mineral deposits. That's why most of our Woodbridge doors come standard with glass protection. WOODBRIDGE coating repels water and tainates, and helps protect against staining and hard water build-up . It is easier to clean and maintenance, yet maintains its high gloss, bright, shiny and clean as new even after long time.

2. Clean The Glass With A Mild Soap, Like Dish Detergent

About once a week, we recommend cleaning your shower door with a soft cloth and mild soap, such as liquid dish soap. Do not use harsh cleaners. Harsh cleaners contain toxic fumes that can make you sick and scratch glass.

3. Let The Air Circulate In The Bathroom

Open the bathroom door after you shower to allow some air to circulate, which will help the moisture evaporate. If your shower has a vent, use it. If you don't, consider installing one to help protect your shower glass and bathroom from potentially harmful mold and mildew growth.

How do I clean my Hot Tub?

1.Flush out pipes

To remove any dirt, bacteria or build-up from your pipes, wash them with Jetted Tub Pipe Cleaner before cleaning your hot tub's shell. Then, once you've finished, drain the water.

2.Drain the water

In an ideal world, you should drain the water every three months at a minimum. But, before getting started, turn your tub off at the isolator. Not doing this could damage the pump motor and filter mechanism.

3.Clean the shell and jets

After draining your hot tub, wipe away any sediments, dirt or debris with a damp cloth. We highly recommend using a surface cleaner and a soft cloth. Or, for stubborn marks, try a tub scrubber.

4.Jetted tub panels

Use a soft cloth and neutral detergent to clean the outer panels. Then, when you've finished, wipe away any residue.

Hopefully, now you know all you need to be able to keep your bathroom fresh and yellow-free!
