Cleaning the toilet is an important task, especially because germs and bacteria thrive in this area. Each flush spreads these contaminants through water droplets, making nearby surfaces, floors, and even towels susceptible to contamination. While there are many chemical products available for toilet cleaning, natural alternatives can be just as effective without the use of harsh chemicals.
Today, we’ll show you how to make natural cleaning tablets that you can throw into your toilet to tackle dirt and grime. These tablets are easy to make with common household ingredients and are highly effective.
Making the Tablets
To make these cleaning tablets, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons of flour
- 5 tablespoons of baking soda
- White vinegar
- Optional: colored dye for aesthetic appeal
- A small amount of dish soap for added decontaminating effect
Here’s how you can make them:
- In a small container with a plastic lid, mix the flour and baking soda.
- Gradually add white vinegar and stir until a paste forms.
- Optionally, add a few drops of colored dye and dish soap to the mixture.
- Close the container and freeze until solid. Alternatively, you can use ice cube trays.
Usage
Once the tablets are frozen, simply drop one into the toilet bowl. Flush and wait for the tablet to dissolve, creating a foam that you can then scrub around the toilet bowl. The power of natural ingredients like baking soda and vinegar is what makes these tablets highly effective. These ingredients are known for their deep cleaning and disinfecting properties, making them ideal for bathroom use.
