The Natural Cleaner Your Nasty Toilet Needs

Start by gathering vinegar and baking soda from your pantry. You can also pick up some essential oil to add a fresh touch. Then, head on over to that dingy, dirty toilet...

• 

Gross, right? I"m embarrassed to even show it to you, but you need to see how it started to appreciate how awesome this homemade cleaner actually is.

Step 1: Spray in Vinegar

• 

I poured my vinegar into an empty spray bottle so it would be easier to get at all the nooks and crannies of the toilet . I didn"t want to have to dive in there, so this was a much more "hands-off" cleaning method.

• 

Once my bottle was ready to go, I gave the dirty bowl a few strong squirts, covering every grimy angle.

Step 2: Add Drops of Essential Oil

• 

Technically, I didn"t have to do this step since it"s not needed for the cleaning process, but boy, does it smell nice! I like using lavender, tea rose, or any citrus scent for a really fresh and clean smell.

Step 3: Sprinkle in Baking Soda

• 

Next, I sprinkled 2 tablespoons of baking

soda around the walls of the toilet bowl. That was enough for my mess, but be as liberal as necessary with your baking soda.

• 

Get ready for bubbles! Once the baking soda hit the vinegar, my toilet bowl started fizzing and breaking down the nasty build-up all by itself! For a really stubborn stain, you may have to let it sit for a few minutes, or repeat steps 1 and 3. If you leave it for an hour, it will even take off the lime scale!

Step 4: Brush Away Loose Grime

• 

A light scrubbing with a toilet brush knocked off the loosened build-up that wasn"t washing away on its own. I really just added this step for good measure, but most of the time you won"t even need to scrub.

Step 5: Flush!

• 

After that, I just tapped the flusher and watched all my sorrows (and the gross toilet build-up) wash away!

• 

This homemade cleaner is seriously the best toilet bowl cleaner I have ever used. Call me crazy, but I think few things make you feel as accomplished as seeing your sparkling clean toilet bowl. Ahhhh!
