It’s rare to find a box of matches in city apartments these days, but I stocked up on them when I encountered an unpleasant surprise in my closet. Typically, I prefer to leave repairs to professionals, but this required something different.
Having noticed a terrible smell coming from the toilets, I tried everything: detergents, scented blocks, intensive cleaning. But nothing happened. Finally, I called a plumber.
An old master arrived, serious and silent. He listened attentively to my problem and took a box of matches from his pocket. I lit one and flushed it down the toilet. My surprise was limitless.

The plumber explained that a lit match is an effective remedy for toilet odors. The secret lies in the properties of the sulfur, contained at the end of each match. It effectively eliminates various odors, including toilet perfumes.
To use this method, simply light a match and flush it down the toilet. The sulfur will begin to evaporate, neutralizing unpleasant odors and leaving the bathroom fresh and clean.
I can now manage odors without harmful chemicals, with just a lit match. However, remember to take precautions when working with fire and make sure there are no flammable cleaning products in the toilet.
