Cleaning the toilet is not an easy task. It’s a very unappealing chore and everybody knows why. However, the toilet needs to be cleaned to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses that may be thriving there. We use the toilet every day and it’s important that it is clean and sanitary to prevent the spread of diseases in our own home.
Lucky for us, we can make toilet bombs! They’re very similar to bath bombs but toilet bombs are created to clean the toilet. Not only do they clean, but they fizz and they freshen. The best parts are they disinfect and they get rid of nasty stains. Toilet bombs also help us save time and energy because all we have to do is drop one or two in the toilet bowl and let them do their magic.
ADVANTAGES OF USING TOILET BOMBS
1. They are made of natural ingredients. Toilet bombs can clean toilets without toxic chemicals and fumes.
2. Toilet bombs can eliminate toilet stains. The baking soda is a mild abrasive and the citric acid can remove hard water stains, calcium deposit, lime, and rust.
3. The tea tree essential oil used in the toilet bomb helps prevents molds and mildew. Tea tree essential oil is very popular for its disinfecting and deodorizing properties. Toilet bombs made with tea tree essential oil can naturally sanitize, freshen and eliminate funky smell in the bathroom.
4. Toilet bombs are very easy to make. There are only a few ingredients that are basically just mixed together. Homemade toilet bombs are economical ways to clean toilets.
5. Toilet bombs are fun to use. They fizz up when they are dropped in the toilet bowl and they clean the toilet as they foam up.
DIRECTIONS
1. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup baking soda and ½ cup citric acid.
2. Add 40 drops of tea tree essential oil
3. Mix well and break clumps using a spoon.
4. In a small spray bottle, pour ½ teaspoon white vinegar and 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide.
5. Slowly spray the liquid mixture onto the dry mixture. Stir the dry mixture while doing so. Stop spraying and stirring when the dry mixture feels like slightly damp sand.
6. Scoop the fizzy mixture and mold into the silicone ice cube tray. Let them dry overnight or more if needed.
7. When they are completely dry, remove them from the mold.
8. Store the toilet bombs in an airtight container like a PET plastic#1 or HDPR plastic#2 jar and they are ready to use.
To use the toilet bombs, just drop 1 to 2 tablets in the toilet bowl. Let them fizz, foam and soak for a few minutes then wipe the bowl with a scrub brush. Flush and your toilet is clean, sanitized, disinfected and deodorized, thanks to the tea tree essential oil.
