Introduction
It may sound strange, but placing a garlic clove in the toilet before going to bed is a trend that's gaining popularity. While garlic is best known for its culinary uses, it’s also a powerful natural disinfectant. This trick may help freshen your bathroom and even fight off bacteria—without the use of harsh chemicals.
Why It Works
Garlic contains allicin, a sulfur compound with strong antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. When placed in a moist environment like a toilet bowl, it can help break down germs and reduce unpleasant odors overnight.
Ingredients
1 fresh clove of garlic
Toilet (cleaned beforehand)
How to Use
Peel one garlic clove and slightly crush it with the back of a spoon. This activates the allicin.
Drop the clove into the toilet bowl before going to bed.
Let it sit overnight (do not flush).
Flush in the morning. You may notice a fresher scent and a cleaner look.
