Hate Toilet Issues? Here Are 10 Hacks to Help You Save Hundreds
Let’s face it—toilet problems are the worst. They’re inconvenient, messy, and can get expensive fast if you call a plumber for every little issue. But what if you could solve most of these problems yourself, save money, and keep your bathroom running smoothly with a few clever tricks?
Whether you’re dealing with a weak flush, strange odors, or a constantly running toilet, these 10 simple toilet hacks can help you save hundreds of dollars in repairs and maintenance—and make your life a whole lot easier.

Denture-cleaning tablets aren’t just for false teeth! Drop one or two into your toilet bowl, let them fizz and sit for about 30 minutes, then scrub and flush. They break down stains, deodorize, and help clean tough-to-reach areas—no harsh chemicals needed.
