Regular washing of the toilet seat guarantees cleanliness and safety, which is paramount in every bathroom. Achieving a perfect clean is challenging because most bacteria and dirt accumulate in the nooks and crannies of the seat, and its surface often turns yellow. Can the toilet seat be cleaned using a hidden function? Discovering this patent will change your view on washing it.

What is the toilet seat's hidden function?

This feature varies with the specific model, as not every seat has such a clever function. The ability to dismantle the seat effortlessly to clean its nooks and crannies is a dream for cleanliness enthusiasts—the secret lies in the hinges, which have a hidden function.

You should find characteristically designed locks on these hinges that can easily slide to the sides. This way, the toilet seat can be detached from the hinges smoothly without damaging its delicate assembly. Cleaning the seat becomes significantly more thorough when you can access all its parts. If you haven't been taking it apart for cleaning, you might be surprised by the amount of dirt hidden not only in its nooks and crannies but also at the junction with the toilet. Removing it will show you how much of your previous cleaning efforts might have been wasted.

How to clean the toilet seat?

Having discovered the toilet seat’s previously hidden function, you should scrub it until it looks as good as new. A mixture of baking soda and vinegar is ideal, as it kills bacteria and whitens the surface, removing characteristic yellow stains. Moreover, this mix is completely safe and won’t harm any part of the toilet seat, unlike conventional cleaning products, which can be expensive.  

Is there another method for cleaning the toilet seat? A simple trick involves a mixture of citric acid, baking soda, water, and a few drops of dish soap. These common household ingredients are a solid alternative to chemical cleaners, and using them weekly will keep the seat in impeccable condition. Alternatively, soaking the toilet seat in a solution of denture cleaner with warm water for a few minutes will dissolve the yellow stains and dirt without scrubbing.
