Let’s face it—whether you’re at home or out and about, we all visit our trusty friend, the toilet, several times a day. But let’s be real, it’s way more relaxing to use a clean toilet than a grimy, smelly one, right?
One simple trick that’s been gaining traction to combat lingering odors is—wait for it—ice cubes. This method has become especially popular in public restrooms, like those in restaurants and bars, where keeping things clean and fresh is no easy task. Want to know which bathrooms use the most ice cubes? Yep, you guessed it—the men’s room.
Why? Because, let’s just say, the whole “standing” situation sometimes leads to… messes that are a bit harder to clean up.
Some places even have automatic flushing systems to deal with the forgetful few, but even those aren’t always foolproof.
Enter ice cubes. When you fill the toilet with ice, the urine gets chilled, which helps to eliminate that nasty odor. As the ice melts, the cold water dilutes the ammonia, slowly washing it away down the drain. No more funky smells, just a cooler, cleaner bathroom experience.
So next time you’re at a bar or restaurant, don’t be surprised if you spot ice in the men’s restroom. It’s not just for drinks—it’s helping keep the place fresh!
