I was surprised when the plumber lit a match and flushed it down the toilet. But the method was effective.

These days, it’s unusual to find a box of matches in an urban flat, but after discovering a disappointing surprise in my closet, I made sure to stock enough. Usually I’d rather have the pros handle repairs, but this situation required an exception.
I used detergents, scented tablets, and intense cleaning after noticing a horrible odor emanating from the restrooms. Still, nothing transpired. In the end, I contacted a plumber.
A solemn and quiet retired educator showed up. He pulled a box of matches from his pocket while he listened carefully to my concerns. After activating one, I emptied its contents down the drain. My astonishment knew no bounds.
One way to get rid of unpleasant toilet smells, according to the plumber, is to light a match. The characteristics of the sulfur that is present at the match’s conclusion hold the key. Including toilet fragrances, it effectively eliminates a wide range of smells.
