What You'll Need:
- 125ml bicarbonate of soda
- 60ml liquid castile soap
- 60ml hydrogen peroxide
- 10 drops essential oil (optional)
- 60ml cup vinegar
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups
- Whisk
- Squeeze bottle
- Funnel
Directions:
- Measure and add the bicarbonate of soda to a large bowl along with the liquid castile soap, which you can find at your local health-food store.
- If you'd like to personalise the scent of your toilet cleaner, then add several drops of essential oil. Eucalyptus, lemon, orange, or rosemary give this cleaner a lovely scent and are also antibacterial. Measure and add the hydrogen peroxide, which is a natural whitener, to the mixture.
- Now measure and slowly add the hot water, whisking gently until things are incorporated. Get ready for some action, and add the vinegar. Give things a stir until the foaming stops.
- Use a funnel to carefully add the toilet-bowl cleaner to a squeeze-top bottle, and you're ready to tackle that bathroom!
- Squeeze the cleaner under the rim of your toilet, and let it do its job for five to 10 minutes. Give a quick scrub with a toilet-bowl brush, then flush.
