🌿 Alternative Option: Detergent-Filled Bottle Hack
If you prefer not to pour detergent directly into the tank, try this cleaner “diffuser” method:
- Take a small plastic bottle (like an empty water bottle).
- Fill it halfway with water and add 1–2 tablespoons of detergent.
- Poke tiny holes in the bottle cap.
- Place the bottle in the toilet tank, upright.
This will slowly release a small amount of detergent into the tank with each flush—gentler on your plumbing and longer-lasting.
💡 The Benefits Add Up
- Low-cost cleaning: No need for expensive toilet tank tablets or cleaners.
- Fresh-smelling bathroom: Each flush releases a subtle scent.
- Less scrubbing: Detergent helps prevent buildup on the bowl surface.
- Eco-friendly tip: Using mild, biodegradable detergent can be gentler on the environment than chemical-heavy toilet cleaners.
