Repeat the process until the stain is gone then wash the area with soapy water. One day a couple of weeks ago I noticed that my toilet seat had turned blue.
I thought it was wayward toilet bien cleaner and would grill DH about it and he didnt know what I was talking about.
Why did my toilet seat turn blue. Its definitely not dye from clothing and not chromhidosis as my skin and sweat is not blue. There are a lot of theorys on the Internet about this but no real answers as to why. One theory that seems most likely is that there is something in my sweat body chemistry that is interacting with the silver particles in the anti microbial coating of the toilet seat.
I take a number of medications and supplements so it. On various parenting forums over the years mums have been posting pictures of their toilet seats which are decidedly blue in colour. Some jokingly referred to themselves as having Smurf butt.
Women with bi-polar disorder can cause the toilet seat to turn blue due to a chemical imbalance. My ex-girlfriend turned my toilet seats blue. She did not have menopause nor was she pregnant.
She did however have bi-polar disorder. It is most probably pseudochromhidrosis. It is usually caused by an extremely rare bacteria assumed to be benign that produce a dark blue oxidizing pigment in you sweat.
If it is the correct assumption you should be able to kill the bacteria with antibacterial swap like Hibiclens. In any case this is pretty hilarious. My toilet seat began turning blue about a week ago when I did a back to back fast of 24 hours each.
I thought it was the shadow of the sun coming in through the blue curtain in my bathroom window reflecting on the seat. But when I visited my mom and dad I used the toilet in the small bathroom. The seat turned blue and the side wall where my leg came in contact.
So now I know its the keto lifestyle. Lol yeah my husband and I were trying to figure out what was causing this. First we thought it was my maternity leggings.
Then he started looking at my stretch mark oils and thinking it was some chemical reaction with that. He was googling bathroom seat turning dark or blue and thats when we came across a bunch of hits related to pregnancy and toilet seat turning blue. The color on the toilet seat does not bleach out.
It is a pale indigo the color produced by the chemical interaction of iodine and starch. My operating assumption is that its likely to actually be produced by this reaction. Posted by anonymousto Science Nature19 answers total 4 users marked this as a favorite.
These bacteria seem to be resistant to chlorine and other household cleaners by themselves. The most effective way to attack this problem is. If the stain is on the side edge of the toilet seat the bleach can be poured on a paper towel and then pressed onto the stain.
Leave the bleach on the stain for a couple minutes then wipe it off. Repeat the process until the stain is gone then wash the area with soapy water. The blue IRL is a little darke May 29 2015 - Ill bet that of all the zillions of topics and questions that have been covered on the SDMB this is a first.
One day a couple of weeks ago I noticed that my toilet seat had turned blue. Oh my gosh that happened to my seat but blue. Im just realizing now that it was me causing it.
I thought it was wayward toilet bien cleaner and would grill DH about it and he didnt know what I was talking about. It was so confusing. My mind is blown.
In most cases the cause is from womens new blue jeans. Its leaving a dye on the skin which cant be seen with the naked eye yet shows up staining toilet seats. Its also happening in bathtubs.
This picture is from such a case you can see where the skin in touching the seat it turns blue. Bleaching the seat will remove the stain. I have to say from this picture it must be one heck of a huge pair of.
Some people have speculated that you may turn the toilet seat blue due to an ingredient in your prenatal vitamin. While this is a tempting theory due to prenatals often being a new addition to. So what gives.
Why on earth would pregnancy lead to a blue toilet seat. Some have speculated that it has something to do with a reaction between the hormones or chemicals excreted through a womans skin during pregnancy and the components of the toilet seat. For example one woman noted that it only happened to her while using a white padded soft toilet seat and that using a.
My toilet seat and sheets are turning blue. Im concerned because Ive been having a lot of weird pains in my body my blood work shows I possibly have something auto-imune going on but so far doctors have not been able to pin-point it. The auto-imune symptoms have been happening for about 3 years but its only been in the past couple of weeks that things are turning blue.
I dont know if they are linked. However given that there exist toilet seats with silver based anti-microbial coatings the bluish grey color may come from metallic silver particles produced by a reduction process similar to the photographic development process. Turns out it was a brown skirt from Old Navy stupid cheap dyes that wore off that was wearing off on my skin although you couldnt see the pink on my skin.
The pink was EVERYWHERE. Our toilet seats are all pink I have tried all kinds of cleaners even bleach with no luck my car seat the insides of my white tank tops the insides of shirts underwear etc. You name it if it touched.
