Well, here's a trend we didn't see coming – and for good reason. People are putting freshly cut flowers inside their toilet tank. Yep, they’re removing the tank lid and filling the tank with flowers. This quirky idea went viral thanks to @thedailynelly, who claimed it would "leave your guests speechless." Mission accomplished. But while you may think it looks and smells pretty, plumbers say don’t do it. It could cause costly clogs, not to mention the fact that that toilet water is already sketchy, and if you remove the tank lid, more germy stuff will get in there.
Some of the best comments on the post include someone who described the hack as the “Martha Sewer” aesthetic. Another said, “I’m doing a taco bar on the back of mine." And then there’s this piece of advice from a plumber: “From an owner of a plumbing company, DO NOT do this. Unless of course you are looking for more opportunities to support your local plumber.”
Bottom line: If you want flowers in your bathroom, just put them in a vase somewhere else.
