Equipment
1 32 ounce mason jar with lid or any container with a firm lid or closure
1 32 ounce bottle with cap or any container with firm lid or closure
Ingredients
32ouncesdistilled white vinegar
32 ouncesbaking soda
essential oilsoptional
Instructions
Into the mason jar, add 32 ounces of baking soda.
Into the bottle, add 32 ounces of distilled white vinegar.
When ready to use, add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the toilet bowl water and shake another 1/2 cup onto both sides of the toilet brush. Scrub underneath the rim and on the insides (especially down the bottom) of the bowl well.
Add 1 cup of the vinegar (it fizzes!) and again swish around under the rim and around the entire bowl of the toilet.
Let sit for at least 30 minutes to overnight before flushing.
Notes
Scented Option: If you like scented products or want to disguise some of the strong scent of vinegar, consider adding essential oils with disinfecting properties to either (or both) the baking soda and vinegar. For each 1/2 cup, you can use 20 drops of essential oil. Best if mixed in a bowl or large measuring cup before adding to containers. Best essential oils to use: tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, grapefruit, lime, or peppermint. A combination of two is lovely, as well.
