Every culture has its surprising rituals, and the practice of placing a garlic clove in the toilet before going to bed is intriguing more and more curious minds. Behind this seemingly harmless action lie ancient beliefs, symbolic practices, and even practical benefits. Myth or simple habit? Let’s explore the reasons behind this surprising practice.
A Solution for Bad Odors?
Garlic is known for its strong, penetrating odor. Some people believe that placing a garlic clove in the toilet bowl helps mask unpleasant smells.
Truth or misconception?
While the smell of garlic may cover up other odors, it doesn’t eliminate them. Unlike natural deodorizers like baking soda or white vinegar, garlic doesn’t neutralize the bacteria responsible for bad odors.
A more effective alternative?
If your goal is to purify the air in the toilet, opt for essential oils (lemon, eucalyptus) or place a bowl of baking soda to actually absorb bad odors.
