You know those coloured blocks you hook over your toilet seat to clean your loo every time you flush?
Well it turns out, we’ve been using them all wrong.
Social media has been lit up over the weekend with a flurry of videos claiming that hanging the block over the side of your toilet and inside the bowl is the “wrong” way to use the cleaning item.
Instead, the hook is pushed up and under the rim of the bowl, which secures it in place without having the hook on show.
The unusual technique also means that the toilet seat can rest snugly on top.
Fabian Coghetto, an Australian who shared the “household hack” said it took him “27 years to figure this out”.
“It slots up inside instead of hanging over,” he wrote, along with a face palm emoji.
