Baking soda tablets to clean the toilet

Baking soda tablets combine natural ingredients to deep clean your toilet without the use of chlorine or harmful chemicals. The main function is to change the environment that bacteria need to multiply on the surface.

They will also eliminate odors and leave a fresh scent that lasts all day. These tablets are easy to make and the ingredients are easy to obtain.

Ingredients

• 1 cup baking soda (200 g)
• ½ cup citric acid powder (85 g)
• 45 drops of essential lemon oil
• 40 drops of essential mint oil
• 40 drops of essential lavender oil

Preparation

• Pour baking soda and citric acid into a deep bowl.
• Then put the essential oils in a spray bottle and spray on the mixture.
• Spread the oils well over the baking powder mixture and try to obtain a thick paste.
• If necessary, moisten it with a little water or, even better, more oil.
• Then  transfer the mixture to molds and let them dry between 24 and 48 hours.

Note:  Avoid wetting the mixture too much, as it reduces the effervescent effect of baking soda.

Use

• After one or two days, remove the tablets from the molds and place them in an airtight container to preserve the scent.
• When you want to disinfect your toilet, have a tablet in the reservoir and flush.
• Use these at least three times a week.
