No matter how you clean your window sill, yellow stains may appear on it over time, which can be very difficult to get rid of. However, don't worry, because UAportal has prepared tips to help you deal with this common problem.

Vinegar and baking soda

Mix equal parts of white vinegar and baking soda. Gently apply this product to the area and leave it on for a few minutes. Using a soft cloth or sponge, rub the surface in a circular motion and then rinse it off thoroughly with water.

Lemon

Cut the lemon in half and rub it directly into the stained areas of the plastic window sill. The natural acidity of the citrus will help break down the stains. To get rid of more stubborn stains, sprinkle salt on the lemon before rubbing. This will also fill your room with pleasant aromas.

Toothpaste

Apply a little toothpaste directly to the yellow stains. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the area. This product contains abrasives that will help remove dirt without damaging the plastic surface. Wipe off the remaining paste with a damp cloth.

How to prevent yellowing of the window sill

Dust and wipe the window sill regularly to prevent dirt build-up. Do not place wet flower pots directly on the plastic surface, as this can cause discoloration over time. In addition, minimal cleaning will help keep your window sills spotless for longer.
