Toilet Seat Hinges

ivyleaf

We've had 3 seats with brass hinges and they did get verdigris no matter what I did. We've now got one with stainless steel hinges (bought in haste last Sunday afternoon when the previous seat broke half an hour before B&Q was due to close!) so i'm hoping that will be much easier to keep clean!:p

B & Q sell the hinges on their own. I bought one with plastic covered hinges, problem solved!

Try some clear nailvarnish after cleaning them thoroughly. That will stop the air getting to the metal and tarnishing.

As SS say's it's the damp atmosphere that contributes to the problem.

i should have thought of that after the recent threads on here about the amazing uses for clear nail varnish..........!

My mum has just bought one from our local B&Q equivalent (Taskers for those of you who live nearby - it's a Liverpool only firm ATM). Her's is a plastic hinged one that she can easily remove weekly to clean up after my dad & brother :eek: I think it may also be an "anti-slam" one :think: I know the one in her cloak room downstairs only drops so far and then gently lowers itself - frightened the life out of DD when she first used it :rotfl:
