Exterminator

I'm on a quest to get rid of the bad smell in my toilet. The pungent smell is giving me sleepless nights. I think I'm having a lack of oxygen from constantly holding my breath. I'm also doing things at double the usual speed in the toilet. The smell is really making me gag. I'm considering switching to sleep in the next room without the adjoining toilet. Friend L has kindly given me some advice. Her formula?

1/2 cup baking soda

1/2 cup of vinegar

2 quarts boiling water

Pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain, followed by the vinegar and then boiling water

Before I try her formula, I shall buy some toilet/drain cleaner and empty the whole bottle into the drain!
