Put Some Tang in Your Toilet!

Ever heard of putting Tang Orange Drink (known in the 1960’s as the official drink of the astronauts) in your toilet? Until recently, neither did I. While Tang contains no oranges in its composition, the citric acid used in flavoring the drink make it an effective, environmentally safe toilet bowl cleaner. Turns out, it works well in eliminating hard water stains.

Here’s how it’s used:

• Flush your toilet to wet the entire bowl.

• Mix one tablespoon (or 1 individual serving packet) in the bowl water and let it soak for one minute. Double the amount for bowls containing more than average water levels.

• Using a toilet bowl brush, scour the bowl and rim and then flush. Your hard water stains should be gone and your bowl will smell fresh.

Since Tang is nontoxic and safe for the environment, there are no concerns using it around children or pets. So there you have it. Tang is not just for astronauts anymore! Let me know how it works for you.
