## 🧽 How to Use Solid Soap to Clean Your Toilet
### 1. **Grate or Shave the Soap**
Using a knife or vegetable peeler, shave off a small amount of the bar soap. You don’t need much — a few thin slices or gratings are enough.
### 2. **Drop into the Bowl**
Sprinkle the soap shavings directly into the toilet bowl, focusing on areas where grime or discoloration is visible.
### 3. **Let It Sit**
Allow the soap to sit in the bowl for 10–15 minutes. This gives it time to break down dirt, hard water stains, and bacteria.
### 4. **Scrub with Toilet Brush**
Use your toilet brush to scrub the bowl as usual. The soap will lather slightly, making cleaning easier and more thorough.
### 5. **Flush**
Flush the toilet to rinse the bowl. You’ll be left with a noticeably fresher, cleaner result — and without the chemical smell.
