Introduction
Many of us are used to our morning cup of coffee, and many also pour the leftover coffee down the drain without a second thought. But have you ever considered what might happen if you started pouring coffee down the toilet instead? Though it may sound odd, this quirky practice is actually linked to some surprisingly positive effects, both for your bathroom and for your household. Today, we’ll explore the little-known benefits of using coffee in this unexpected way.
Ingredients
1 cup of leftover coffee (preferably not sugary or creamy)
Preparation
Use your leftover coffee: Instead of letting it sit or throwing it away, grab a cup of cold or room-temperature coffee. The coffee should be black or just lightly brewed; avoid any coffee with added sugars, milk, or cream, as these can create residue and mold.
Pour it down the toilet: Simply pour the coffee directly into the toilet bowl. It’s best to do this after you’ve flushed the toilet, but before it’s filled completely with water.
Presentation and Storage Tips
Coffee doesn’t need to be stored in the toilet, of course, but you can make the most of your cup by ensuring it's free of additives. Coffee that's been sitting for a while will be best used for this purpose.
Regularly pouring coffee down the toilet can help clean and freshen the bowl naturally.
