Need a quick fix for cleaning the toilet? Or just a quick freshening up? Drop one or two of these in and let it sizzle away. Give it a scrub or just let it sizzle, then flush.
DIY Toilet Bowl Bombs
2 cups baking soda 1/3 cup citric acid 2 tablespoons hydrogen peroxide 15 drops lemon essential oil 5 drops peppermint essential oil silicone ice cube tray mason jar – I used two I have all the ingredients in these and most of my DIY recipes in my Amazon shop here – look for the DIY cleaning section.
In a glass bowl, stir to combine the baking soda and citric acid. Slowly add the hydrogen peroxide – fizzing is normal – until the mixture is a thick and almost crumbly paste. Add the essential oils, combining them well.
Push the mixture into ice cube or silicone trays and allow to dry for at least 24 hours – outside in the sun works best. When the cubes or bombs are thoroughly dry (they should be very hard), remove them from the tray and store them in a glass jar with a secure lid.
Use one per toilet for a quick clean or an in-between-cleaning freshening up.
I hope you enjoy and follow for more DYI items!
