Fizzy Toilet Bombs

A natural way to keep your toilet fresh and deodorized in between cleanings.

Ingredients:

1 cup baking soda

⅓ cup citric acid

2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide

20-30 drops essential oil (I prefer eucalyptus or peppermint)

Directions: 

Mix baking soda and citric acid together in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in the hydrogen peroxide, mixing as you go. Slowly add the essential oil, mixing constantly. The mixture will bubble and fizz a little bit but that is OK.

Press the mixture into silicone molds. Make sure the mixture is packed into the molds tightly. Let the molds dry for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Push toilet bombs out of the molds. Store in a sealed container. Keep away from young children who may think they are edible.

Add 1 or 2 toilet bombs to toilet whenever necessary. Leave to dissolve, then flush toilet.
