Toilet seat stains will disappear in seconds with 1 'game-changing' item
A stained loo can not only lead to red faces but also infections from the lurking germs and mould. Experts recommend giving your toilet a thorough scrub every few days, which should include a good disinfection of the seat, the exterior, and all other nooks and crannies.
To ensure a spotless and hygienic lavatory free from germs and foul smells, it's crucial to eradicate any stains, dirt, and mould. Cleaning mould may be straightforward, but shifting stubborn stains might require a bit more elbow grease.
However, the specialists at Bliss Cleaning Co. have shared the ultimate cleaning sensation. Bliss Cleaning Co took to their Facebook page to show off how a humble Magic Eraser can make your toilet seat's blemishes vanish in a flash in an easy-to-follow video demonstration, reports the Express.
They said: "Toilet looking rough? Grab a Magic Eraser and watch those stains disappear. Quick. Easy. Satisfying."
The remarkably simple yet effective video sees a grubby toilet seat being scrubbed with a Magic Eraser, resulting in immediate stain removal. Even for seats that have seen better days, this method promises a gleaming finish in under half a minute.
Ecstatic with the results, Facebook user Fleur Hogan commented below the video: "Thanks for this tip, really is a game changer."
Magic Erasers are, in essence, just sponges made of melamine foam which, when combined with water, can tackle tough stains with ease.
They function like super-fine sandpaper due to their hard microstructure. The open-cell structure of melamine foam enables it to lift and trap dirt within its cavities, making it an efficient and chemical-free cleaning tool.
While potent for removing stains, Magic Erasers wear out quickly, akin to pencil erasers, due to their abrasive nature and the mechanical action required during cleaning.
They're very simple to use, just dampen slightly, and use small circular motions until the stain fades, then wash the surface clean to remove any residue.

Tomato plants will bloom this summer when fed one bathroom item
Tomato plants are susceptible to a range of pests, diseases and deficiencies that can cause them to stop growing, and one common problem is a lack of magnesium. For any gardener who's marvelled at a bountiful tomato harvest, it's hard not to hope for the same results from your own burgeoning crop. Unfortunately, these plants are prone to attack from a horde of pests such as aphids, leaf miners, mealybugs, caterpillars, plant bugs, and spider mites, not to mention diseases like blight and leaf spot. They can also suffer from nutritional deficiencies, which are often missed in the quest for the perfect crop. Garden enthusiasts might be stumped as their once lush tomato plants begin to display yellow leaves, lacklustre fruit and stunted growth. Despite nurturing them with tender care, something seems to be missing. Luckily, gardeners need look no further than the household bathroom cupboard for a possible remedy. Though many turn to potassium-rich feeds during the bloom and fruit period of tomato growing, an essential nutrient that's frequently forgotten is magnesium, reports the Express. The Royal Horticultural Society underscores the importance of magnesium in chlorophyll production, vital for plant photosynthesis and overall vigour. Epsom salts may just provide the answer for a confirmed magnesium shortfall, as long as they are used sensibly. Horticulture whizz Andrew Koehn from Scribner's Catskill Lodge in Hunter, New York, shared his insights with Martha Stewart: "Magnesium deficiency usually appears as leaves with bright green ribs and veins and otherwise discoloured areas of yellow, red, or brown." The gardening expert explained: "Magnesium is the centre of the chlorophyll molecule, so it's crucial for good green colour in leaves and therefore good for overall plant health." A lack of magnesium could stunt your plants' growth and result in fewer tomatoes to harvest. To check if your soil is lacking in magnesium, a simple home test kit should do the trick. Otherwise, look out for signs on the plant itself, such as yellowing between the veins of older leaves, sometimes accompanied by reddish-brown tints. Older leaves might also develop brown patches and fall off prematurely. But don't fret - you can sort this issue out by feeding your tomatoes Epsom salts once a month throughout the growing season. Epsom salt, or magnesium sulfate, is a naturally occurring mineral compound made up of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. Just dissolve one tablespoon of Epsom salts in a gallon (just under four litres) of water and apply it to the base of the plant. Alternatively, you can dissolve one tablespoon of Epsom salts into a gallon of water and spray it onto the leaves for quicker absorption. Remember, a magnesium deficiency doesn't always mean there's not enough magnesium in the soil. High levels of potassium from fertilisers can interfere with magnesium uptake, so balance is key. Epsom salt should be used as a supplement, not a miracle cure, so use it sparingly. Keep an eye on your plants after application and stop if you don't see any improvement. Andrew warned: "Applying Epsom salt or additional magnesium when your plants don't need it may stunt plant growth and turn them too green, which is not good for plant health overall."

Chef names one ingredient people are adding to broccoli to make it taste better
Broccoli is a great source of fibre and vitamins, but many people dislike it because they don't cook it properly - one chef has shared the secret to making it taste delicious Broccoli is a top addition to any meal - boasting high fibre and vitamin content - but it's often hated if not cooked correctly. Many home cooks go down the easy route of boiling their veggies, not realising that this method can leave broccoli tasting incredibly bitter and wafting an unpleasant odour around the whole kitchen. Boiling broccoli is a sure-fire way to overcook it, leading to sulphur compounds breaking down and contributing to its undesirable taste and smell. Karen Tedesco, a professionally trained chef and the brains behind Familystyle Food, advocates for a tastier alternative – sautéing broccoli in a frying pan. Karen advises: "Master a simple technique and make this delicious sautéed broccoli with crisp-textured edges and a tender bite. It's full of flavour, with plenty of olive oil, garlic and Parmesan cheese." While sautéing may sound daunting, it simply requires cooking the broccoli with a splash of olive oil and a few chosen flavour enhancers to elevate the taste. Preparing broccoli in this manner enhances its texture, making it crispy and slightly caramelised – delivering a more appealing and enjoyable eating experience. Not only does boiling leach out many nutrients into the water, leaving a flavourless, soggy residue, but it also means you're missing out on the health benefits. Investing just under 15 minutes to cook broccoli with care reaps rewards - rendering it more flavoursome, delightfully crispy, and retaining its nutritional value. How to whip up tastier broccoli You will need: A frying pan with a lid 450g of broccoli florets (one head of broccoli) 60ml (four tablespoons) of extra virgin olive oil One teaspoon of minced garlic Half a teaspoon of red chilli flakes Half a teaspoon of salt Grated Parmesan cheese (to serve) Lemon wedges (to serve) Instructions To start, chop the broccoli into evenly sized florets and trim off any tough ends, reports the Express. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat on the hob. Once the pan is sufficiently hot, add the broccoli, salt and olive oil. Ensure the broccoli is arranged in a single layer without touching each other for optimal searing. Allow the broccoli to cook undisturbed for five to eight minutes until one side turns golden brown. Stir the broccoli, then reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic, chilli flakes, and pour in 60ml of water. Cover the frying pan and let it cook for an additional five minutes. The broccoli should now be vibrant green and tender enough to pierce with a fork. Transfer it to a serving dish, garnish with lemon wedges and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Your perfectly crispy and flavourful broccoli is now ready to be served.
