Simple Toilet Bowl
Cleaner
Baking Soda
Distilled White Vinegar
Sprinkle baking soda around the inside of your toilet bowl
being sure to get the “dry” parts and to sprinkle some in the standing
water. Pour some (about ¼ cup) vinegar
into your toilet bowl. Watch the fun
fizzing action, and then use your toilet brush to scrub around the inside of
your toilet!
Background:
I like a clean toilet.
In fact, I clean my master bath toilet almost daily- yep. I’m not quite so diligent with the other
toilets in the house, but I do get to them at least once a week. Having said that, you can imagine that we
used to go through A LOT of that Lysol toilet bowl cleaner gel stuff…
I like that this recipe keeps my toilet just as clean, and
is non-toxic! I do not have to worry
about children getting in the way of my cleaning (yes, once as a toddler,
Joaquin stuck his hand in just as I was pouring cleaner into the bowl…). In fact, it won’t be long before I feel they
are old enough to clean their own toilet bowl!
The first time I used this recipe, I actually measured out ¼
cup of vinegar just to get a feel for the amount. Now I just pour in what “feels like” a ¼ cup
and my toilets are still clean!
I went to the dollar store and bought the little green
basket and sugar shaker you see in the photo above. I got the little bottle of vinegar from a grocery store. These three items are found in
each bathroom save the half bath downstairs because that one is right next to
the pantry where baking soda and vinegar are always handy. I find that having the materials you need to
clean the toilet so handy helps me get the job done more often and faster!
When I don’t have my multi-purpose spray bottle handy, I
often wet a bit of toilet paper with some vinegar and wipe down the toilet
seat, just to finish up the job!
I buy vinegar and baking soda in bulk to save even more money and because I use so much of it to clean the rest of the house.
