Natural Toilet Bowl Cleaner Tablets Recipe
Make natural toilet cleaner using food grade ingredients such as baking soda, citric acid, and essential oils.
Servings: 40 toilet tablets
Equipment
- Gloves and mask (optional but recommended)
Ingredients
- 2 cups baking soda
- ⅔ cup citric acid
- 60 drops essential oils (I used 30 drops each of lemon and orange)
Instructions
- In a glass bowl, mix together the baking soda and citric acid in a glass bowl. I suggest wearing a mask and some latex gloves for this to protect your skin and eyes.
- Slowly mist the dry powder with water, mixing as you go. You want to barely wet the powder to get it to stick together in the mold. I used a small, fine mist spray bottle and about 8 sprays. Too much will cause fizzing.
- Add the essential oils and continue mixing.
- Using a 1 teaspoon measure (or larger), scoop out spoonfuls and place them on a piece of parchment paper until dry. You could also use a silicone mold for this step.
- Let the toilet tablets dry overnight and carefully place in an airtight container to use as needed.
Notes
- I haven't tried flushing the toilet before this has fully dissolved, but I would not suggest trying it (I'm thinking that kind of pressure in pipes isn't the best idea!)
- I usually use a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon for these, but I've also used a 1/2 Tablespoon. You'll get fewer toilet tablets, but stronger cleaning power with a bigger scoop.
