That said, it doesn’t have to be such an unpleasant chore – as cleaning-mad mums have started pouring fabric softener into the back of their toilets to make it smell fresh with every flush.

Raving about the hack on Instagram, one American user advised “pouring a cup [230ml] of laundry detergent in the tank of the toilet” which will then sink to the bottom.

They wrote: “Each time you flush, a sweet aroma will be released in the tank, and the whole bathroom will smell amazing.”

This is because the water in the tank – which contains the fabric softener – will then be flushed into the bowl.

However, not everyone was so convinced with the unusual method

The post has since received over 2,900 “likes” on Facebook and racked up over 17,000 comments from users who are desperate to know if it works.

However, the members of the Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It group aren’t so convinced.

One responded: “You can see the mess it leaves in the washing machine drawer – it will definitely clog. It’s a no from me.”
