These days it's rare to find a box of matches in city apartments, but I stocked up when I got an unpleasant surprise in the cupboard. I usually prefer to leave repairs to professionals, but this time something different was needed.
Noticing a terrible smell coming from the toilet , I tried everything: detergents, scented tablets, a thorough cleaning. But nothing worked. Finally, I called a plumber.
An elderly man arrived, serious and silent. He listened attentively to my problem and took a box of matches from his pocket. I lit one and threw it in the toilet. I was incredibly surprised.

The plumber explained that a lit match is an effective remedy for toilet odors. The secret lies in the properties of the sulfur, which is present at the end of each match. It effectively eliminates various odors, including toilet perfumes.
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.

I can now manage 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.
