If you've noticed yellow stains on your toilet seat, you're likely not alone. This is a common problem that can be caused by a plethora of different things.

Fans of the cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch have shared their go-to method for removing unsightly toilet seat stains - and it's not bleach.

One Facebook user posted on the group, 'Cleaning Tips and Tricks': "HELP! My toilet seat is stained with urine and I have tried so much to get it off but nothing has worked.

"I’ve tried using a scourer with Pink Stuff, baking soda and vinegar, lemon, Viakal, bleach - you name it.

"Nothing works and I feel so dirty. Has anyone got any advice or am I going to need a new toilet seat?"

The post was inundated with responses with more than 100 comments but the most suggested solution was to use a "Magic eraser".

Sarah Goodridge said: "A magic sponge works wonders! Takes a bit of work but it will remove it."

Katie Nicole Thomas commented: "Magic eraser! I have just recently discovered how magical these things really are and, man, are they a life changer."

Vickie Bebbington replied: "Magic eraser sponge works wonders on everything."

Sarah Hines agreed and posted: "It's caused by bleach! A magic sponge or Pink Stuff paste will help."

Ruth Angus wrote: "Try a magic sponge, I used one as a last resort and it worked perfectly."

Magic erasers can be bought online or from most local supermarkets for as little as £3 for a pack of two which works out at £1.50 per sponge.

Other suggestions from Mrs Hinch fans included avoiding bleach, using the Pink Stuff paste, Cif or Bar Keepers Friend.

Katie Powell said: "Pink Stuff paste gets it off."

Danielle Tuck replied: "Try Bar Keepers Friend."

Marie Ridge suggested: "Cif with scrunched-up tin foil was the only thing that got mine sparkling!"
