No spice is as widely used in everyday life as bay leaf. Even baking soda is used either as a cleaning agent or as a leavening agent.

Bay leaf is used in cooking as an air freshener, a foot odor remover for shoes, for washing, and that’s not all.

We'll tell you why experienced housewives always leave a bay leaf in the toilet before leaving for work.

Why is this necessary?

If you believe folk advice, then bay leaves should be added not only to a pot of soup, but also to the toilet.

It is known that the spice is famous for its antibacterial properties, which can be used not only in folk medicine and cooking.

If you leave a bay leaf in the toilet, it is guaranteed to keep the plumbing clean until the household arrives.

It is no secret that the toilet is full of bacteria - the spice will prevent the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms.

How to proceed

For one time you will need 5-6 bay leaves. They need to be brewed with boiling water, left to infuse until they cool, and then pour the infusion into the toilet and close the lid.

Upon returning home, all that remains is to drain the water and enjoy the clean air.
