"BLEACH" The Toilet Bowl


Do you find it a chore to scrub your toilet bowl frequently to keep it sparkling clean?

This is what I do..



Bleach
(Get the cheapest, it works the same)



Detergent Powder



An empty bottle with a small opening at the top.



Remove the cover and place a funnel in the opening.



Put about 1 tablespoon of detergent powder.



Pour in the bleach slowly.



Put back the cover. Its done!!



Squirt the bleach around the toilet bowl.
Try to leave it over night.



The toilet in the common bathroom, I will leave it over night. The toilet bowl in the master bedroom, I put the bleach in the morning. I do this "bleaching" 2-3 times a week.

Benefits for me:
  • Don't have to scrub the toilet bowl frequently (I scrub only once a week or even in 2 weeks).
  • No  unsightly stains or smell.

 **Important: Please remember to leave the bathroom window open.
