Seal the bottle tightly and place it in your toilet tank, making sure it’s positioned so it doesn’t obstruct the flushing mechanism.
💡 Why This Trick Works
This method works because toilets fill up with water to a certain level before flushing. By reducing the amount of water in the tank (via the bag or bottle), there’s less water to be flushed each time you use it, but the flush remains strong enough to do its job.
It’s an effortless way to cut your water usage without having to replace your entire toilet with a newer, water-efficient model.
