Is it safe to say that I’m not the only one that has a stinky toilet? At least on occasion, right?

Right?

Well, maybe you don’t have any boys in your family.  Maybe you have all girls that never miss and keep things sparkly and shiny.

But even if you do, this is a fantastic way to get that not-so-great-smelling wonder-throne fresh…naturally!

How to Freshen a Stinky Toilet…Naturally!

Today, we’re going to make some home-made, all natural Toilet Fizz Bombs! They are so, super cheap to make.

I found this little recipe over on Pop Sugar and tweaked it to fit my very special needs, i.e. I need lots more. Lots.

You can read all about the ingredients here if you want to know more about what they do.

What you need:

• 2 cups of Baking Soda
• 1/2 cup of Citric Acid
• 2 TBS of Hydrogen Peroxide
• 1 Tsp of White Vinegar
• 30 drop of Essential Oil – I used Lavender
• Mini Muffin Pan
• Mini Muffin Liners
• Spray Bottle filled with 1/2 water and 1/2 Vinegar

First, mix your baking soda and citric acid together.

Then, in a separate glass, mix the hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and essential oils.

I use Essential Oils from Mountain Rose Herbs. They are amazing and VERY reasonable compared to other oils I’ve seen.

Then, a little at a time, pour your liquid mixture into your baking soda mixture and combine.  Just a warning: it will fizz on you, but it’s not too bad.

Once you have everything combined, it will be a damp, sandy mixture.

Place the muffin liners in the muffin pan and mist each liner with the vinegar/water.

Then fill each with a scoop and press it down firmly.

Be sure to brush off the extra that spills or you might have trouble removing the bombs from your pan.  {yes, I know from experience!}

Then spray the tops with the vinegar/water. This helps create a crust and keep the bomb together.

Allow to dry overnight.

To use, just drop one or two in your toilet and let it fizz.

 

I wait for about 10 minutes before I go scrub-a-dub, but you can wait longer if you want.

They leave your stinky toilet smelling rosy!  {or in my case, lavendery.}

 

And thank goodness, because with three boys in da howse, this is the best kind of bomb dropped in the bathroom all day.
