Is there ANY way to get a while toilet seat Looking white again instead of yellow and stained?
I clean it every day with normal bathroom cleaner but it looks awful.
Scared to use bleach.
Any ideas or out to buy a new one?

Why are you scared to use bleach? Surely the loo is one place you do use bleach.

You need actual abrasion. A scrub of some sort.

I share your problem and our toilet seats are expensive (comfort type from the Bathstore) . I have found a magic eraser works the best although it is an ongoing problem. Our toilets are higher than most so are called “comfort” but they only do them in white so the quest for a solution continues. However, when renewing one of them last time I saw in the instructions not to use chemicals on them! My daughter has the same toilet and hers always looks really white and when I enquired how she does it she says she uses some toilet spray with bleach in it. I,like you, haven’t dared use bleach. So I would suggest hard rubbing with the magic eraser. Good luck.

Thanks all. Would have thought that bleach would have made the seat worse. Got my magic sponge out now!

Magic sponge worked well. I found a cheap white toothpaste and a dry micro fibre cloth worked wonders though.

One of those magic sponges worked very well for us too.
