Put salt in your toilet.

 

This process is straightforward and only takes a few minutes.

  1. Pour about 1 cup of salt directly into your toilet bowl.
  2. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes. For maximum effectiveness, you can even leave it overnight.
  3. Use a toilet brush to scrub the bowl, paying extra attention to any stains or areas with buildup.
  4. Flush the toilet to rinse away the salt and any debris that has been loosened.
  5. Repeat this process every few weeks to keep your toilet fresh and help prevent clogs.
