Putting Aluminum Foil in Your Toilet Tank

Keep Your Toilet Fresher for Longer?

Some viral posts suggest that aluminum foil can neutralize unpleasant smells or keep the toilet smelling fresh.

However, aluminum foil isn’t a deodorizer or an air freshener.

It doesn’t absorb bathroom odors in the way certain activated-carbon products can, nor does it provide the cleaning or disinfecting action of a properly formulated toilet cleaner.

If your toilet continues producing unpleasant smells even after cleaning, there may be another underlying problem.

Possible causes include:

Residue beneath the toilet rim.
Buildup in hard-to-reach areas.
Poor bathroom ventilation.
A damaged toilet seal.
A plumbing or drainage problem.
