The woman mixed fabric softener and water in a small plastic water bottle and sealed the lid closed. 

She then pierced holes in the top of the lid and placed it inside the water in her toilet’s cistern. 

The woman claimed that the mix sets off a pleasant smell every time the toilet is flushed and it won’t damage the system. 

Her hack comes after a cleaning business took the internet by storm after sharing a simple trick for making your bathroom smell wonderful.

Posing on Instagram, Sadie’s Professional Cleaning Services revealed how pouring fabric softener into your cistern will banish nasty scents with every flush. 

‘Just another exclusive cleaning tip from the Pros at Sadie’s Professional Cleaning Services LLC,’ the US-based business posted.

‘Pour a cup of laundry detergent/fabric softener in the tank of the toilet.’

Their cleaners said that the detergent will ‘sink to the bottom and remain in the tank’.

‘Each time you flush, a sweet aroma will be released in the tank, and the whole bathroom will smell amazing,’ they said.

Not everyone was impressed with that idea, however, with many saying it was not safe for your toilet.  

Rachael Hallett, who owns a plumbing company, said: ‘This can definitely damage your cistern. 

‘You shouldn’t put anything in there. The seals etc aren’t made for anything but water,’ she said.

‘I own a plumbing company and don’t recommend them at all. Sometimes parts can’t even be replaced and a whole new cistern is required. Depends on the brand you have.’
