Introduction: A clean and fresh-smelling bathroom makes all the difference in maintaining a hygienic home environment. One of the most important aspects of a bathroom is the toilet, which can sometimes become a breeding ground for odors and germs. Fortunately, with a simple and natural solution, you can keep your toilet sparkling clean and smelling delightful. This DIY toilet cleaning powder is an easy and effective way to ensure your bathroom stays fresh every time you flush.
Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
½ cup citric acid (found in stores or online)
¼ cup washing soda (or sodium carbonate)
15-20 drops of essential oil (such as lavender, tea tree, or eucalyptus)
1 tablespoon of cornstarch (optional, for smoother texture)
Instructions:
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, washing soda, and cornstarch (if using). Stir the mixture until well combined.
Add Essential Oils: Slowly add in the essential oils of your choice, stirring continuously to distribute the scent evenly throughout the powder.
Store the Powder: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container, such as a glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. This helps maintain the freshness of the powder.
Use the Powder: When you need to freshen up your toilet, simply flush the toilet and then pour a small amount of the powder directly into the bowl. Swirl the water with a toilet brush to help dissolve the powder and distribute it evenly.
