DIY Toilet Scrubbing Powder



Here’s a super easy, toxic-free, and effective toilet bowl cleaning recipe with essential oils. It's safe for the kids to use, so they can help ! (Bonus: Let them help make it too!)



DIY Toilet Bowl Cleaning Powder


16 oz. jar (we use PET plastic jars because they hold up to the kids and citrus essential oil)

Label, optional

1 1/4 cups baking soda⠀

1/3 cup citric acid

20 drops Lemon essential oil⠀

10 drops Citrus Fresh essential oil


Mix ingredients together in a container. For best results, mix in a large glass bowl and let sit until dry. When mixture has hardened, break up and store in container. ⠀


To use, add about 1/4 cup to toilet bowl (or if you are like me, just sprinkle some into the toilet), let fizz for several minutes then scrub with toilet brush.
