How to Make Non-Toxic Bathroom Cleaners

Homemade cleaning products make great sense both economically and environmentally. The same basic ingredients can clean many different surfaces. These simple recipes to make non-toxic bathroom cleaners are formulated for bathroom cleaning (a scrub and a toilet bowl cleaner) but could be adopted for a variety of messes in your home.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• ¾ cup baking soda
• ¼ cup borax
• Dish soap
• Plastic storage container
• Permanent marker
• 1 cup borax
• ¾ cup vinegar or lemon juice
• Plastic storage container
• Rubber gloves
• Toilet brush
• Permanent marker

Homemade Scouring Scrub

1. Assemble all the ingredients and measure out the portions.
2. Combine the dry ingredients, baking soda and borax.
3. Add the dish soap in small increments to make a spreadable paste. If you add too much soap, simply add a little more of the dry ingredients.
4. Store your scouring scrub in a resealable plastic storage container. Label the container accordingly with a permanent marker. Use this scrub on the tub and sink.

Toilet Bowl Cleaner

5. Mix the measured portions of borax and vinegar in a plastic container.
6. Empty as much water from the toilet tank as possible. While wearing plastic gloves, take the paste mixture and spread it over the inside of the toilet bowl. Allow it to sit for about 30 minutes, longer if you have heavy stains.
7. Scour the toilet bowl with the paste using your toilet brush.
