How Do You Make A Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner?

You won’t believe how quick and easy this is to make!

Here’s what you’ll do…

Add your Baking Soda to a medium mixing bowl.

Then add Essential Oil drops on top of baking soda.

Stir with a spoon until well combined.

Then transfer the mixture to a mason jar for later.

Pro Tip: If you have an old lid from a parmesan cheese shaker, you can affix the lid so you have an easy flip up sprinkle top! It works like a charm.

See… I told you this was going to be EASY!!

How to Use DIY Toilet Bowl Cleaner

When it’s time to clean your toilet, sprinkle 1/4 cup of the mixture inside your toilet bowl… up around the sides and where the ‘ring’ likes to form.

Let it sit for 10 minutes, scrub well with a toilet scrub brush, and then flush! Easy-peasy!

How to Store Homemade Toilet Cleaner Powder

Store your toilet cleaner powder in a mason jar with lid at room temperature for up to 6 months.

      I am happy that you are using natural homemade toilet cleaner instead of toxic toilet cleaning agents. I personally use the vinegar solution to clean my toilet.

      It is always nice when you can make some homemade cleaners. Big plus with the toilet bowl cleaner because the last thing you want is to discard hazardous chemicals into the sewage line. I like that it is as easy as using baking soda! Thanks for sharing!
