Just put a bottle down the toilet drain! You won’t feel disgusted anymore and you’ll save money!

Here are a couple of the real ones people mean when they say this:

1. The Water-Saving Bottle Trick

Fill a plastic bottle with water, close it tightly, and place it inside your toilet tank (not the bowl).

Each flush will use less water because the bottle displaces space in the tank.

This can save gallons of water and lower your bill over time.

2. Homemade Toilet Freshener Bottle

Fill a small plastic bottle with a mix of water, baking soda, and a few drops of essential oil.

Poke tiny holes in the bottle cap.

Place it in the toilet tank.

Each flush releases a mild cleaner/freshener, keeping odors down without harsh chemicals.

So the “just put a bottle down the toilet drain” line is really clickbait-y — but in reality, it’s about placing a bottle in the toilet tank, not the drain.
