safe toilet bowl cleaner 

Most, if not all, conventional toilet cleaners contain toxins and chemicals. I try to keep these ingredients out of my house in case a child consumes them. And so they can assist me in cleaning without causing me any concern. Furthermore, children enjoy touching and putting everything in their mouths. I don’t want to spray dangerous ingredients on every surface in my house.

I remember having to wear a mask over my face when cleaning before I started making my own products. I couldn’t stand breathing in all the toxic fumes, and it gave me headaches all the time. I no longer have to be concerned because I clean with natural ingredients, and my house is still being cleaned.

There is good news! To keep your toilets clean, you don’t need to use hazardous chemicals. This homemade toilet bombs cleaner is made with only safe ingredients, and it works wonderfully! Furthermore, they are uninvolved!

how do homemade toilet bombs work?

When these are dropped into water, the baking soda and citric acid react, causing a “fizzing action,” similar to bath bombs. This is why, when making these, it is critical to use as little water as possible.

As the ingredients fizz, they naturally clean your toilet and remove dirt and grime. You won’t need to use a toilet brush when using these, but I wouldn’t give up the brush entirely. I like to use my toilet bowl cleaner once in a while and scrub it when necessary.

about the ingredients citric acid 

• Citric acid is a must-have ingredient in toilet cleaner bombs. It’s found in lemons and limes, and it’s what gives them their tart flavor. Citric acid, on the other hand, is found in many cleaning agents in a manufactured form.
• It is used as a disinfectant and has the ability to kill a variety of bacteria and viruses. It received an A rating from the Environmental Working Group (EWG)!

baking soda 

• Baking soda is excellent at absorbing odors and removing stains, making it an excellent choice for natural cleaning. Because it is a mild alkali, it can easily dissolve dirt and grease in water.
• Baking soda is an excellent deodorizer. Using baking soda in the toilet is an excellent way to keep your pipes and drains clean. It can also assist in unclogging them!

liquid dish soap 

• A small amount of liquid dish soap is called for in the recipe. I prefer to make my own dish soap, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
• Water, castile soap, and essential oils make up my homemade soap.
• When adding the liquid soap, I like to mist it with a spray bottle. However, if the ingredients become too wet, the bombs will not hold together.

best essential oils for cleaning

The best part about making your own cleaning products, or any products for that matter, is that you get to choose the scent. Personally, I prefer citrus oils for cleaning; my favorite is lemon!

Tea tree, lime, wild orange, rosemary, or lavender can also be used. All of these essential oils have cleansing and purifying properties, making them ideal for toilet cleaning.

how do i use my homemade toilet bombs? 

Simply drop one tablet into the toilet when it needs a little refresher or when it starts to look grimy. Keep an eye on it as it fizzes; this part is optional!

If the toilet is particularly filthy, let it sit for a few minutes before flushing. If your toilet requires extra attention, take out the toilet brush and give it a good scrub.

I’m not a plumber, but I think it’s best to let it dissolve completely before flushing it.

You can make use of these as needed. Personally, I put one in the toilet twice a week. You will be able to smell the essential oils as it fizzes, which will help to freshen the bathroom.

If you’re having guests over, simply drop one in the toilet bombs before everyone arrives, and you’ll have a clean toilet as well as a fresh, clean-smelling bathroom.
