How do you remove urine stains from toilet seat?

Urine stains on underside of expensive plastic toilet seats fitted in both bathrooms. Seats and toilet cleaned thoroughly daily - I have 3 boys under 10...
I have tried numerous products to try and remove urine stains including household remedies like vinegar/bicarbonate of soda mix. Any other suggestions very gratefully received!

Watching with interest. I have the same issue

NiceGerbil · 03/01/2021 23:37

Same here.

NiceGerbil · 03/01/2021 23:38

Maybe we should be getting the chaps to do it so they wipe up any mess properly...

Is the obvious answer.

Following too....

Any bleach based cleaner.

PrincessTilly · 03/01/2021 23:42

Try shaving foam. Spray it leave it to soak for a few hours and wipe

Bleach

MsShopper · 03/01/2021 23:44

Bleach-soaked cotton wool balls/pleats/pads squashed between the loo and seat has worked for us. (Also male-dominated household!) Leave on for 10 mins and redo if necessary for stubborn bits.

Hob cleaner.

Apply and leave to 'soak in' for a bit, then scrub with slightly abrasive sponge - preferably get the culprits to do the scrubbing!

MargeryMcLatchie · 03/01/2021 23:46

Bleach, and buy cheaper seats in future that you can change when they get too minging.

I have this from ds. Magic sponge works like a charm. Every time.

Found if you mix bicarbonate of soda and mix it with white vinegar and put on the seat and leave for around an hour. Then really scrub it off with a slightly abrasive scour sponge works. If stubborn stains keep adding more of the bicarb and vinegar mix.

I take the seat off and soak it in water and bleach in the bath, and then scrub it with cream cleaner. It makes a difference, but doesn’t completely remove the stains.

I've found the astonish mould and mildew remover works for loads of things... I'd try that.

Mum of 4 boys
The pink stuff doesn’t work tried it
Cheaper toilet seats ideally but the one i have is awful
Bicarb and bleach into a paste left on with windows open rubber gloves on etc
Nasty isn’t It

Make a paste of bicarbonate of soda and thick bleach. Push it onto stains and leave for an hour or so. Scrub off with old toothbrush or non stick scouring pad.

WeeDangerousSpike · 04/01/2021 19:21

Hold loo roll over the stains and saturate it with bleach spray so it sticks. Leave it for as long as possible, re soak / change it for new it if it dries out.

CharlieandLolaCat · 04/01/2021 19:23

Only way for me is jif.

Another vote for Magic Sponge. It works in seconds with very little effort.
Wheresmycider · 04/01/2021 19:38

Magic sponge works a treat

QueenOfCakeandCoffee · 04/01/2021 19:56

It soaked mine in the bath with bleach for hours and it did nothing! I’ll have a go with the magic sponge next

MadamFlutterby · 04/01/2021 20:47

Soak it in the bath with water and bleach
