In Singapore, a grandfather’s quest for a germ-free toilet turned into a head-scratching puzzle of blue streaks, all thanks to a well-meant, but overly enthusiastic, cleaning hack by her grandma.
Grandma: “More must be better”
The netizen’s grandmother, armed with traditional wisdom and a bottle of Harpic limescale remover, decided to give the toilet bowl an overnight soaking.
“This was supposed to kill bacteria, not my spirit,” the grandkid posted, along with photos of their valiant scrubbing efforts.
It’s been three days, and the stubborn blue stains are still holding on to this new toilet bowl, which is less than 6 months old.
“Grandma’s ‘super-clean’ method backfired big time,” she said.
“I’ve been on scrubbing duty all day, but these blue marks are playing hard to get.”
Despite the product’s promise to vanquish 99.9% of germs and its formidable reputation against limescale, the prolonged exposure led to a stubborn blue stain that clung to the ceramic surfaces with surprising tenacity.
The SOS post became an instant hit, prompting a surge of reactions and suggestions.
