Here’s how to make fizzy toilet bombs
-
Add the baking soda to a large mixing bowl, sifting out any large lumps.
-
Add the citric acid and stir. The baking soda will help clean the toilet whilst the citric acid adds a much-needed fizz.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the white vinegar and the hydrogen peroxide.
-
Drop by drop, add the liquids to the dry ingredients.
-
Keep mixing and gradually add your drops of essential oils. You can add more for a stronger scent.
-
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and fill in the moulds. You can use a simple soap mould.
-
Let them dry overnight for a minimum of 7 hours, before removing from the moulds.
-
Drop 1 or 2 at a time into your toilet, depending on the size of your fizzy bombs, and it’ll give you an instant toilet refresh.
Congratulations, you’ve now made your own fizzy toilet bombs.
These fizzy toilet bombs should last 2 or 3 months, as long as you keep them in a sealed storage jar or container.
