How to Make DIY Toilet Cleaning Balls
Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the baking soda and citric acid. Stir well to ensure the two are evenly mixed.
Step 2: Add Essential Oils
Add your chosen essential oil drops to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly to distribute the scent evenly.
Step 3: Add Water Gradually
Slowly add the water, one teaspoon at a time, while stirring. The mixture will fizz slightly—that’s normal! The goal is to create a texture similar to wet sand, where the mixture holds its shape when pressed together.
Step 4: Mold the Mixture
Scoop the mixture into a silicone mold or ice cube tray, pressing it firmly into each compartment. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon for a clean finish.
Step 5: Let Them Dry
Allow the toilet balls to dry and harden for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results. Once they’re solid, remove them from the mold and store them in an airtight container.
How to Use Your Toilet Cleaning Balls
Simply drop one ball into your toilet bowl and watch it fizz as it works to clean and deodorize. Use a toilet brush to scrub away stains and flush for a sparkling clean finish.
