The game-changer? Baking soda and vinegar. I mixed them into a thick paste, smeared it over the stains, and let it sit for 15 minutes. A good scrub with an old toothbrush later, and years of grime and buildup were gone. Still had a few stubborn spots? That’s when the Magic Eraser came in. I honestly couldn’t believe how fast those stains vanished—almost embarrassing how easy it was.

For the really set-in discoloration, I turned to hydrogen peroxide. I soaked a few paper towels, laid them over the stained areas, and let them sit for an hour. No damage, no scrubbing—just lifted the yellow right off. (Pro tip: Never mix peroxide and vinegar—it’s not safe.)Meanwhile, the bowl itself needed some TLC too. A gentle pumice stone worked wonders, and an overnight soak with Borax made mineral rings disappear like magic.

Now? Toilet cleaning is part of my Sunday routine. It’s not glamorous, but it keeps the whole bathroom feeling fresh and guest-ready. Bonus tips: if your toilet brush smells weird, soak it in peroxide. And don’t skip the seat hinges, the base, or the floor—it all adds up.Honestly, walking into a sparkling bathroom doesn’t just impress visitors. It makes you feel like you’ve got your life together—even if the rest of the house is chaos.
