When you push open your toilet door, do you smell a very strong, unpleasant odor? Yes, it is a nuisance that can occur at any time. To get rid of this unpleasant smell, you do not need to use chemical sprays, which are usually toxic.
My grandmother recommended this curious trick to get rid of these odors naturally. Do you have any idea what it is? It is a method that consists of burning a match and leaving it in the toilet.

This way you can solve the odor problem in the blink of an eye.
Avoid throwing the match down the toilet
When you have blown out the match, avoid flushing it down the toilet. It is dangerous, can clog pipes and is not environmentally friendly. Especially if you have a septic tank. Throwing unnecessary waste down the drain can cause clogs.
Ideally, when you burn matches in the toilet, you should prepare a small plate in the water tank to deposit the waste. More specifically, the sticks of unlit matches. And when it’s full, throw them in the trash.
Why use this trick in the toilet?
Matches are not only used to light a fire. They can come to your rescue to neutralize bad toilet odors thanks to sulfur.
When you strike a match, you have to light it, and it is the sulfur it releases that will eliminate unwanted odors from the toilet. But there is also the smoke it gives off, which captures bad odors and acts as an environmental deodorant.
