We've noted that you can clean your dishwasher with Kool-Aid before, but home-centric blog Apartment Therapy notes that you can also use it to get stains out of your toilet, too.
Whether you just don't have time for a deep clean or you don't want to fill your bathroom with the smell of bleach, it turns out a bit of citrus-flavored Kool-Aid will do the trick in a pinch:
Although lemon works great, check out the ingredients in orange... it's the citric acid that helps to clean your bowl! All you have to do is sprinkle the contents of the package in before you head to bed, swirl it around with a toilet bowl brush, and let it sit over night. The acid in the drink mix will go to work cleaning away tough stains and build up if you don't have the best water conditions.
Plus, they mention, it won't kill your dog if you have the sneaky, toilet-drinking type. It's a pretty nice trick if you go to clean the bathroom and find you're out of bleach. Got any other favorite clever household cleaners? Share them with us in the comments.
