Kassel – Imagine you have visitors. He was neither announced nor invited. Be that as it may, the unexpected often comes. But when he reappears from her bathroom, he suddenly wants to leave. On the other hand, the bathroom has probably left a lasting impression; However, not a good one. Yellowish, yellowed spots in bathrooms are not uncommon. Nice to look at, let alone hygienic, but not either. The good news is that they can be easily removed with simple tricks.
Yellow spots in the bathroom: This is the cause of the unsightly stains
The yellowish film over the white surfaces of the bathtub or washbasin is formed when lime from the water mixes with dust, skin flakes and residues of bath additives. But, be careful: lime leaves a yellowish discoloration. Black spots, on the other hand, indicate mold. This occurs when there is too little ventilation in the bathroom or water cannot drain properly.

In addition to drugstores such as DM, Rossmann, the DIY stores of Obi, Hornbach or BayWa also offer a variety of cleaners to remove dirt and bacteria in the bathroom and to make acrylic or plastic shine in new splendor. However, the mostly chemically manufactured products are rarely cheap. Much cheaper, but just as effective, is the general cleaning of the bathroom with simple home remedies such as baking soda, baking soda or dishwashing rod.
With these home remedies, the bathroom appears in new splendor; Here's how to do it:
- Baking soda and baking powder: Apply the product over the entire area and leave on for several hours. Then use a cleaning cloth over the dirty areas and rinse with water.
- Buttermilk: The thick milk should soak in for about half an hour before rinsing it off the tub and basin again. Common price for a cup of buttermilk: around 55 to 99 cents
- Salt and vinegar: One cup of vinegar or diluted vinegar essence along with two tablespoons of salt is enough to fight the dirt in the bathroom. Again, the home remedies should work on the surfaces for a few hours and then be cleaned with a soft cloth.
- Citric acid: It is best to mix the homemade cleaner with water in a ratio of 5 to 1. The advantage here is that it quickly removes all yellowed surfaces. A long exposure time is not necessary. But the DIY acid cleaner is not suitable for every piece of furniture. In the case of high-quality material, it is better to resort to another means.
- Dishwashing rods: In the bathtub, dishwashing rods in the tub water are particularly suitable for loosening yellowed spots. The whole thing also works with detergent. Simply pour it into the tub, rub it in, rinse it off – done.

Yellow spots in the tub and basin: Avoid these mistakes when cleaning
However, you should not overdo it when cleaning to a high gloss. Because a lot can go wrong. For example, an enamel tub should not be treated with an acidic cleaner. But an incorrect sponge or a wipe that is too coarse can also lead to damage to materials during re-polishing. Likewise, dirt residues should be rinsed off with water so that they do not accumulate in the tub.
