Why experienced housewives put soap ends in the toilet cistern: an interesting life hack

As a result of long-term use, the soap noticeably decreases in size.

The result is soap remnants that are difficult to use for their intended purpose - as a hygiene product.

A good housewife will never throw away these remnants. She will try to melt them to make a new solid bar of soap.

And you can make some other product from these pieces. For example, soap scraps, “packed” in a bag, serve as an excellent flavoring agent.

But there is another alternative use for soap residues. They can be sent to the toilet cistern.

The essence of the life hack

You need to collect the soap scraps and put them in a sock. The product needs to be tied well.

The result is a device designed for “installation” in the toilet cistern.

During flushing, soapy liquid with a considerable amount of foam will enter the bowl of the plumbing fixture.

Thanks to this, the porcelain or earthenware surface will become dirty much more slowly.

In addition, the appearance of a pleasant smell is also possible. Especially if aromatic soap is used.

Thus, there is no need to throw away soap scraps: they can be easily used as a freshener and a means for cleaning plumbing fixtures.
