For Deep Stains: If the yellow stains are particularly stubborn, create a stronger mixture by adding an extra tablespoon of baking soda to the cleaning solution. You can also try applying a paste of baking soda and water directly to the stains and letting it sit for an hour before scrubbing.
Essential Oils for Scent: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (e.g., lavender or eucalyptus) to the cleaning solution for a refreshing fragrance. Essential oils can also have antibacterial properties, further enhancing the cleaning process.
