Cleaning the bathroom — especially the toilet seat — is one of the toughest and most dreaded household chores. Over time, the once-white toilet seat often develops a stubborn yellowish layer that seems impossible to remove, even with expensive store-bought cleaners. Worse, these chemical-laden products can damage the surface and still fail to deliver lasting results.
But what if we told you that a mango and a cold drink — costing less than ₹30 — could solve your problem?
Yes, that juicy summer fruit in your kitchen isn’t just for desserts — it can also bring back the sparkle to your toilet seat. Here's how.
DIY Toilet Cleaner Using Mango and Cold DrinkWhat You’ll Need:
-
1 raw mango (peel only)
-
Any carbonated soft drink (like cola or lemon soda)
Steps:
Peel the mango and let the peel dry in sunlight until crisp.
Grind the dried peel into a fine powder.
Mix this powder with your chosen cold drink to form a cleaner.
Apply this solution generously to the yellow-stained areas of your toilet seat.
Let it sit for 15–20 minutes.
Scrub gently using a toilet brush, then rinse with clean water.
The acids in the cold drink help loosen tough stains, while the natural enzymes in mango peel gently lift grime without harming the surface.
