Have you ever forgotten to use your homemade buttermilk or yogurt? Your nose (and certainly your tastebuds) will tell you when your precious cultured milk has gone bad. Maybe you were on vacation for a week or two, or perhaps you were so busy outdoors planting your garden that you forgot to reculture a batch or two.
Fear not, all is not lost! I discovered while dumping a quart of old buttermilk down the toilet the other day that it made my little white friend sparkle. Without scrubbing at all my toilet seemed cleaner, and I wondered if I could scrub up under the rim and get the same results. Granted, the little friendly bacteria in yogurt or buttermilk may not have the rust removing power or bleaching effect that commercial toilet bowl cleaners do, but in a pinch it will leave it clean.
When you do run into a sour smelling batch of cultured milk, just flush and brush. And if you have a pig or two in need of a bath before you show them at the fair, take a hint from Charlotte's Web and lather your Wilbur in buttermilk. You'll have a glistening bowl, and some pig.
