The ingredients for the toilet cleaner
In principle, toilet tabs are made in a similar way to bath bombs. They also contain lemon oil as it not only has a fresh aroma but also disinfects. But you can also use other fragrance oils of your choice. The combination of cinnamon and cloves is also very suitable. A mixture of lemongrass, lavender, rosemary and tea tree oil can successfully remove odors.
Ingredients:
- 256 g Backsoda
- 128 g citric acid, powder
- 128 g arrowroot flour or starch
- 3 to 4 tsp distilled water
- a small spray bottle
- Fragrance oils of your choice
- Silicone mold (baking mold made of silicone)
Make your own toilet tabs: step-by-step instructions
Step 1.Place all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Fill the water into the spray bottle and add 20 to 30 drops of fragrance oils of your choice. Shake the spray bottle vigorously.
Step 2.Very slowly, stirring constantly, spray the dry ingredients with the water-fragrance oil mix. If the mixture starts to bubble, then you have added too much water. If the consistency of the mixture resembles a snowball, then you can continue.
Tipp:Mix the ingredients in a dry, low humidity room. If the humidity in the room is above 55%, then you should add less water. 2 teaspoons should be enough in this case.
Step 3:Spread the mixture on the silicone mold and let the toilet tabs air dry overnight or, ideally, for 24 hours. The best place to do this is in a sunny place in a room with low humidity. You can then carefully remove them from the mold.
Tipp:Even if you break some when removing the tabs from the silicone mold, you can continue to use them. If it takes too long for the tabs to dry completely, then you have added too much water.
Step 4:Store the finished tabs in a dry and cool place in an airtight jar.
Step 5:Once a week, take a tab out of the jar and put it in the toilet bowl. Carefully brush the bowl with the toilet brush and then rinse.
