Eco Friendly Toilet Cleaning Tablets Now Available

A recipe for DIY toilet bowl cleaner tablets was discovered by accident, thanks to a child who threw everything in the toilet. This happy accident has saved a lot of scrubbing over the years.

How the Discovery Was Made

The discovery was made when a batch of sea salt bath fizzies and postpartum bath fizzies was left unattended, and a one-year-old child threw them into the toilet. The child’s mother was initially annoyed, but then noticed that the toilet was getting cleaner as the bath fizzies fizzed.

The mother used a toilet brush to ensure the bath fizzies had dissolved and then flushed the toilet, revealing a clean bowl. She realized that the ingredients in the bath fizzies, which were naturally detoxing, also worked great for cleaning toilets.

An Effective Toilet Bowl Cleaner

The mother played with the recipe to make it more potent, resulting in an inexpensive, easy-to-make, and highly effective toilet cleaning tablet. The best part is that children loved using these tablets because they’re fun, so the toilets were cleaned frequently.

These toilet bowl cleaner tablets freshen the bathroom and leave the toilet sparkling. They can be stored in an air-tight glass jar in the bathroom and used as needed. If stored correctly, they keep for months.

Baking soda is great for gently scrubbing messes and deodorizing. Citric acid is naturally found in citrus fruits and helps dissolve mineral deposits. Together, they make an effective, natural toilet bowl cleaner.

The ingredients are food grade and can technically be used in cooking, although it’s not recommended due to the concentration of baking soda and citric acid.

Making the Toilet Bowl Cleaner Tablets

To make the toilet bowl cleaner tablets, mix 2 cups of baking soda and ⅔ cup of citric acid in a glass bowl. Add 60 drops of essential oils and mix. Slowly mist the dry powder with water, mixing as you go, until the powder sticks together.

Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and place them on a piece of parchment paper until dry. Let the toilet tablets dry overnight and carefully place them in an airtight container to use as needed.

It’s essential to note that the toilet tablets should not be flushed before they have fully dissolved, as this could cause pressure in the pipes.
