Whether you just really don’t want to or you don’t have time, cleaning the toilet is often a hassle and a chore that no one wants to do. However, here is an AWESOME recipe that not only quickly deodorizes and cleans your toilet but it requires almost NO work on your part! They’re called Toilet Bowl Fizzy Bombs and they’re wonderful!

Baking Soda

Add about 1 1/3 cup of baking soda to an empty bowl. The baking soda is essential because it acts as an abrasive substance that scrubs and cleans the toilet. It also is used to neutralize any acids that may be clinging to the toilet bowl, which helps deodorize your whole bathroom.

Citric Acid and Water

Next, add ½ cup of citric acid and 1 tablespoon of water to the mixture. The citric acid is what makes the bombs fizzy and really get deep into the pores of the toilet bowl. You may want to add the water via spray bottle so that it doesn’t all fizz up and react at once.

Lavender, Peppermint, and Lemon Essential Oils

Now you add the essential oils. You want about 30 drops of each one, which means these bombs pack a punch! Each oil helps eliminate germs and bacteria while also making the toilet smell clean and fresh!

Put in Mold

Finally, take the mixture and put it into a mold of your choice. Small squares are great because you can store them in your bathroom as a decoration! Let the mixture sit and dry for a few hours then carefully remove them and store them away!

    Do you just drop these into the toilet and leave?

      Do you just drop in toilet and scrub or just leave it and let it clean the toilet.

    OK, now what do u do with the bombs? Throw in toilet and then what? Scrub or do they do the cleaning without scrubbing?

    Same questions as above…. do you throw in toilet and let it dissolve or do we need to scrub?

      Traci,

      Honestly, it depends on how dirty your bathroom is! I’ve found that I really have to scrub if I’ve neglected my bathroom for some time. If I’ve kept up with it, I just let it dissolve!

    When I put my mixture in the molds it puffed up. Is that normal?

      Yes, mine puff up to. When it dried, it kinda had a lacy look to it, which I was ok with. I am just dropping them in a toilet. They still worked like a charm 🙂

    Citric acid aka citrus acid anything like lemons,oranges and grapefruit or lemon extract,orange extract,etc. Vinegar combined with baking soda makes a good fizz to just drop the soda in your bowl add some vinegar and voila!!😉

    I put the mixture in a silicone pan and everytime I look at it has grown and puffed up even more! It doesn’t seem to be getting hard either?? It has now been setting for about 5-6 hours.

    Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get these out of the muffin tins. I did get one out before they dried because I was cleaning bathrooms today and couldn’t wait to try it! It is so refreshing! I don’t let the toilet get visibly dirty (ex: a ring or anything), so I don’t know if it gets tough stains, but I really like it and can’t wait to give my daughters some! Thank you for sharing!
