Tip of the Day #268: Vinegar in Toilet Tank

I was reminded of this great tip on Pinterest today!

A small bottle of vinegar can make a huge impact with your toilets. If you poke a hole into the lid of a bottle of vinegar and then put the whole bottle into your toilet tank upside down, the vinegar will prevent a toilet ring from forming by releasing some everytime you flush and also use LESS WATER with every flush!

  2. I just can't figure out how to keep the bottle upside down without it sitting on the lid and keeping the hold against the floor of the tank - guess I'm stupid (sigh).

  3. How big did you have to make the hole in the cap? It seems like the vinegar isn't coming out of the bottle with each flush... but I don't want it to completely empty into the tank! BTW, to Evelyn Mayfield: you can just tilt the bottle on its side so it's not directly on top of the cap.

  4. hello ... but if you tilt the bottle does not all the vinegar run out once flush? it seems like it would rush out then you would not have the vinegar in the tank?
