Homemade Toilet Cleaning Bombs
You're going to love these homemade toilet cleaning bombs. They're hands-free, easy to use, and perfect for keeping your toilet fresh with minimal effort. Just drop one in, let it fizz, and flush!
Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- ¼ cup citric acid
- 1 tablespoon liquid soap, You can use my homemade kind or any brand you have on hand.
- 30 drops essential oils, My favorites are lemon and wild orange.
Instructions
- Mix the baking soda and citric acid in a mixing bowl and stir well.
- Add essential oils to the bowl and mix well.
- Add the liquid soap to a small spray bottle. Mist the powder mixture until it starts to hold together. (you should be able to squeeze it in your hand, and it leaves an imprint.)
- Press the mixture into a small bath bomb or silicone mold.
- Allow the mixture to dry overnight or until completely hard before removing it from the molds.
- Allow the toilet cleaning bombs to harden for at least 48 hours before storing them in a dark, dry area.
- Drop one tablet into the toilet bowl and wait for it to completely dissolve before flushing.

Notes
- Use less water than you think you'll need. You should be able to squeeze the mixture with your hands, and it just begins to hold its shape. I should sorta resemble kinetic sand.
- If you have trouble getting the molds to pop free, try tapping lightly on the sides with the blunt end of a butter knife or a spoon.
- If the mixture starts expanding immediately after you press it together between the molds, it likely has too much liquid.
- If this is your first time making these, I highly suggest looking at the detailed step-by-step images above and watching my video tutorial before starting!
- Store for up to 6 months.
- This will make approximately 6 toilet bombs
