The health benefits of garlic have been proven throughout the centuries. Even the modern medicine recognizes its power when it comes to treating the cold and other health issues. However, besides being used as a natural remedy and as a common cooking ingredient, garlic can also be used for cleaning. If you wonder how, we have the answer.

Because it contains allicin, a compound responsible for its potent aroma, which also acts as a deterrent to fungi, bacteria, and mold, garlic can be used for cleaning the toilet.

Of course, the method of using this powerful plant shouldn’t completely replace the routine toilet cleaning, but it does come in handy when you don’t have much time for scrubbing.

In order to maximize the cleanness and freshness of your toilet simply peel a clove of garlic and drop it in the toilet. You can use it as a whole or smashed.

Allow it to work overnight, unleashing its antibacterial power and give your toilet a scrub and flush it the following morning.
