Introduction
Maintaining a clean and fresh-smelling toilet can feel like a never-ending chore. But what if you could keep your toilet spotless and odor-free for an entire week with minimal effort? This simple yet effective cleaning hack is so powerful that even professional cleaning staff swear by it! Using a few everyday household ingredients, you can create a long-lasting toilet freshener that keeps your bathroom hygienic and inviting.
Ingredients
To prepare this powerful toilet cleaner, you’ll need:
1 cup baking soda (removes stains and neutralizes odors)
½ cup citric acid (helps break down buildup and disinfects)
10 drops essential oil (eucalyptus, lemon, or lavender for a fresh scent)
½ cup white vinegar (eliminates bacteria and mold)
½ cup hydrogen peroxide (acts as a disinfectant and removes stubborn stains)
1 teaspoon dish soap (helps loosen grime and buildup)
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine baking soda and citric acid. Stir well to blend these two powerful cleaning agents.
Slowly add hydrogen peroxide and dish soap to the mixture. Stir gently to avoid excessive fizzing.
Step 2: Create Toilet Cleaning Bombs (Optional)
If you prefer pre-made toilet cleaning bombs, press the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays.
Let them dry for 4–6 hours until solid. Store in an airtight container.
Step 3: Clean the Toilet
Drop one or two toilet bombs into the bowl (or pour ¼ cup of the powdered mix directly into the toilet).
Let it fizz and work its magic for about 15 minutes.
Scrub lightly with a toilet brush and flush.
For an extra deep clean, pour ½ cup white vinegar into the bowl and let it sit overnight.
Serving and Storage Tips
Storage: Keep your toilet cleaning bombs in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain their potency.
Frequency: Use this cleaner once or twice a week to maintain a fresh and spotless toilet.
Extra Freshness Tip: Add a few drops of essential oil to the water tank for continuous freshness.
