Total Time 10 minutes

Equipment

  • Large measuring cup
  • Squeeze bottle

Ingredients

  • 2 cups distilled water
  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/3 cup borax
  • 1/3 cup castile soap
  • 25 drops essential oils

Instructions

  • Heat the water on the stove or in the microwave (warm water makes the other ingredients dissolve more easily).
  • Add the baking soda and borax to the warm water and stir until the powders are dissolved.
  • Let the solution cool for a few minutes, then pour it into a squeeze bottle.
  • Slowly add the castile soap and essential oils to the bottle, replace the cap, and shake gently to mix.
  • Applied generously, this recipe will make enough for about 3 uses (and be sure to shake it before each use!)

Notes

How To Use It: Squeeze the bottle to apply the cleaner to the inside of your toilet bowl then let it sit for five minutes or so. Scrub the bowl with a toilet brush, then flush. Done!
