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