In the clip, Maca takes the plastic toilet freshener and doesn’t use the plastic hook to hang it over the top of the toilet as you would expect to.

Instead, he pushes the hook up and under the rim of the bowl, which secures it in place without having the hook on show and meaning that the toilet seat can rest snuggly on top.

The video has since gone viral, receiving over 5.4 million views and thousands of comments from viewers thanking Maca for the tip.

Commenting, one wrote: “I’m leaving work right now to go and change the things in my toilet.”
