Why Vinegar in Your Toilet Tank Is the Genius Cleaning Hack You Need

Pour 1–2 cups of white vinegar directly into the toilet tank.

Let it sit for 2–4 hours (or overnight for deep cleaning).

Flush once or twice to circulate the vinegar through the system.

Repeat every 2–3 weeks for best results.

Safety and Storage Tips:

Do not mix vinegar with bleach or toilet bowl tablets—dangerous gases may form.

Store vinegar away from children and in a cool, dark place.

White distilled vinegar is best for this use.
