Instead of flushing caustic, dangerous chemicals down your toilet, next time try this easy fizzy remedy to clean your toilet bowl.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • Toilet brush
  • 5 to 10 drops of tea tree essential oil for scent and its antibacterial properties (optional)
  1. Step 1

    Pour baking soda, salt and essential oil (if using) into the water of the toilet bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Slowly pour the vinegar into the toilet bowl. If it foams up too much and looks like it may overflow, stop pouring briefly until the foam subsides a bit.

  3. Step 3

    Let sit for 10 to 20 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Scrub the whole toilet bowl with a brush and then flush. Now the toilet is clean, disinfected and smelling clean.
