How it works 

Now that you’re convinced of the benefits, here’s how to put this cool trick into action:

• Grab a handful of ice cubes from your freezer.
• Flush your toilet to create a swirling motion in the bowl.
• Drop the ice cubes into the bowl, distributing them evenly around the surface.
• Let the ice cubes melt and work their magic for a few minutes.
• Use a toilet brush to scrub away any remaining stains.
• Flush again to rinse away the melted ice and enjoy a fresh, clean toilet bowl.

Extra tip

Is your toilet really in need of a good cleaning? Then try this! Apply your preferred liquid or powder toilet cleaning product directly onto the sides of the ice. Allow the cleaning solution to sit and work its magic for a while. Then, you have two options: you can either flush the ice down the toilet and proceed to scrub the bowl as usual, or you can scrub the bowl with the ice still inside and then flush afterward. The last method offers the added benefit of using the abrasive nature of the ice to help dislodge any buildup or other stubborn residues. However, be cautious as loose ice cubes may splash out while you’re scrubbing.

In the realm of household hacks, throwing ice cubes into your toilet may seem like an unconventional practice, but the results speak for themselves. From banishing odors to tackling stubborn stains, ice cubes offer a simple yet effective solution for keeping your toilet fresh and clean. So, the next time you reach for the ice tray, consider giving your toilet a chilly treat – your nose (and your guests) will thank you for it!
