Put salt in your toilet. Here’s why

Many people call plumbers for toilet issues, but a simple household trick using salt can help maintain and unclog toilets.

Salt’s abrasive texture breaks down waste and toilet paper, helping prevent clogs.

It also neutralizes odors, removes hard water stains, and acts as a natural, eco-friendly alternative to chemical cleaners.

Using salt is affordable, convenient, and can extend your toilet’s lifespan.

To use it, pour 1 cup of salt into the bowl, let it sit for 15 minutes or overnight, scrub, and flush. Repeating this every few weeks helps maintain cleanliness and prevent issues. Plumbers may not share this tip due to job security, the need for professional solutions in complex cases, or liability concerns.
