Why people recommend putting orange peels in the toilet once a week, but only for 20 minutes

A viral TikTok hack suggests using orange peels to freshen toilets, and science backs it up. The peels contain limonene, a natural compound with antimicrobial properties that combats odor-causing bacteria. While effective for scent, plumbers warn against flushing peels, as they can clog pipes. The best approach is to soak peels for 20-30 minutes, then remove and compost them for a chemical-free, sustainable bathroom refresh.
