What do you throw down the toilet without knowing it's not good? Let's see which 10 things should never be thrown in the toilet bowl - at least 5 of them are thrown there regularly by all of us!
Have you ever wondered what can't we throw in the toilet bowl? Despite the fact that it seems logical to throw only toilet paper in it, the truth is that many people also throw things there that should be thrown elsewhere.
Few people deal with issues of proper use toilet bowls, until a problem appears. Despite the fact that it seems that it should be clear what can be thrown into it, many people still throw away things that do not belong there.
