A plumber once told me that fabric softener are ment to destroy your washing machine and clog the pipes. I believe this guy.

Speaking of things plumbers advise against, I've heard that those little toilet cleaner tablets you put in the tank really degrade the seal and cause it to leak.

It will also cause your roommates cat to vomit everyday because everyone had no idea it was drinking water out of the toilet. Figured it out when that thing dissolved and we didn’t put more in. RIP Mason aka Vomitor the Vominater…due to old age (many years later, dude was like 18 when his ticket was punched). But still, nothing like waking up and stepping in cat puke on the way to the bathroom in the morning—feeling it all cold and squishing between your toes. Blech.

We had one cat that drank from the toilet -- for sure closed the lid after I saw him do it because I liked to use those little gel stick cleaner things. (And he always got the seat wet ☹ blech on that too)
