    I'm glad you asked this Tired Mum as we have suffered the same thing before.

    I had this with wooden seats and couldnt shift it so ended up buying new. Is yours white - if so I would try bleach.
  • On the rear of all plastic seats there is a section which has not been coated, this is where the stains are most stubborn to remove. How clean is your house recipe is as follows:-

    A little white wine vinegar (not malt it makes the room smell like a chippie), some bicarbonate of soda/baking powder, and some lemon juice.

    The bicarb is slightly abrasive so should remove the stain the lemon juice will make it smell lovely.

    I have also heard of a technique where a orange is cut in half and wiped over hard water stains like a sponge to remove them.
    I had a plan..........its here somewhere.

    I have no really original advice, Tired Mum, I just want to say I know what you're talking about and share your frustration! :mad:

    I just use neat bleach myself.
