      Here\u2019s how to turn these handmade balls into your go-to toilet cleaner<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Option 1<\/strong>:
      Cut one end of a disposable face mask to form a small pocket. Insert 2\u20133 dry balls, then tie the mask with its elastic band. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Place it in your toilet tank. Every time you flush, the water activates the cleaning and deodorizing action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Drop one ball directly into the toilet bowl at night or before leaving home. Let it dissolve overnight and clean the bowl in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Option 3<\/strong>:
      Use a plastic toilet holder and attach a ball under the rim of the toilet seat for continuous freshness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
