To restore the cleanliness of the toilet, some clever housewives use a balloon.

At first glance, this inflatable object is absolutely useless when cleaning plumbing.

After all, it is stupid to use it as a product for wiping surfaces.

But the ball is not needed for this. It should act as a plug.

How to use the ball

First, it needs to be inflated. After that, the product needs to be installed in the toilet bowl so that the opening is completely closed.

For reliability, the ball can be secured with tape.

Next, you need to treat the inner walls of the plumbing fixtures with a cleaning agent.

The final step in the preliminary stage of toilet cleaning should be filling the plumbing fixture with clean liquid.

For the next 2-3 hours, do not touch anything. The ball will keep the water in the bowl and will not flow into the drain. This means that the cleaning agent will continue to "work".

Once the time is up, the ball should be removed from the toilet. Next, flush.

It will become clear that the inner surface of the plumbing has become clean and shiny. And for such a result, there was no need to wipe anything for a long time.
