You're going to love these homemade toilet cleaning bombs. They're hands-free, easy to use, and perfect for keeping your toilet fresh with minimal effort. Just drop one in, let it fizz, and flush!


Equipment

  • Bath bomb moulds or silicone moulds
  • Spray Bottle



Ingredients 

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • ¼ cup citric acid
  • 1 tablespoon liquid soap, you can use my homemade kind or any brand you have on hand.
  • 30 drops essential oils, My favourites are lemon and wild orange.


Instructions 

  • Mix the baking soda and citric acid in a mixing bowl and stir well. 
  • Add essential oils to the bowl and mix well.
  • Add the liquid soap to a small spray bottle. Mist the powder mixture until it starts to hold together. (you should be able to squeeze it in your hand, and it leaves an imprint.)
  • Press the mixture into a small bath bomb or silicone mould. 
  • Allow the mixture to dry overnight or until completely hard before removing it from the moulds.
  • Allow the toilet cleaning bombs to harden for at least 48 hours before storing them in a dark, dry area.
  • Drop one tablet into the toilet bowl and wait for it to completely dissolve before flushing.


Notes

  • Use less water than you think you’ll need. You should be able to squeeze the mixture with your hands, and it just begins to hold its shape. It should sort of resemble wet sand.
  • If you have trouble getting the moulds to pop free, try tapping lightly on the sides with the blunt end of a butter knife or a spoon.
  • If the mixture starts expanding immediately after you press it together between the moulds, it likely has too much liquid.
  • Store for up to 6 months.
  • This will make approximately 6 toilet bombs
