This method, which is the easiest and fastest, consists of passing a cloth soaked in vinegar over the stain. This ingredient, in fact, is a natural flux that removes the yellow or black stain by polishing and disinfecting thoroughly. If the stain doesn&#8217;t come off, apply vinegar directly to it and wipe it down about 30 minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lemon<\/strong>. This citrus fruit also has disinfectant and lightening properties, which help eliminate stains. Rub half a lemon directly on the dark stain, let it act for a few minutes then wipe with a cloth. Repeat if the stain does not come off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Borax<\/strong>. It is one of the most powerful ingredients for removing stains on almost any bathroom surface. Apply borax directly to the stain, then pour vinegar over it. After 20 minutes, rub with a sponge, then rinse with water and dry well. Wear gloves and a mask while applying borax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share article<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important: This website does not give medical advice, nor does it suggest the use of techniques as a form of treatment for physical problems, for which medical advice is required.
