Toilet Fizzy Bombs

I’m always trying to find ways to keep my house clean and smelling good, with minimal work.

I’m not lazy by any means, but my unofficial motto in life is “work smarter, not harder”.

My schedule is way too busy to clean everything in my house everyday, so I do my best to find short cuts to help me out.

I especially don’t like having to clean 3 bathrooms. I’m not sure if it’s because there’s so much preparation with cleaning the bathroom.

You need your gloves, toilet cleaners, toilet scrubber, glass cleaner, disinfectants, and whatever else you use to get a shiny clean bathroom.

I found a way to keep my toilet bowls cleaner and to combat those ugly yellow water stains.

These toilet fizzy bombs work perfectly and are super simple to make.

Natural Toilet Fizzies

I really like these toilet fizzies because all of the ingredients to make them can be found around the home or easily in a local super market.

There are no harsh smells or chemical residue left in the toilet after its use.

I’ve been using more natural cleaners around my home because I want to do my part for the environment and keeping my family as chemical-free as possible.

Natural toilet fizzies bombs don’t require much cleanup when they’re made and they can easily be stored in an airtight container for a couple of months.

      Hi, Kristi! I use, at most, 2 per day. I have a baby in diapers and one in Pull Ups, so my toilet doesn’t see as much traffic as someone with older kids or more family members in the household. I hope that helps. P.S. I work from home, so I’m always home. Lol

MY QUESTION IS, AFTER THE TOILET BOMBS ARE MADE DO YOU HAVE TO STORE THEM IN A CONTAINER WITH A LID……….WONDERING IF THEY WILL LOOSE THEIR STRENGTH IF LEFT IN A CONTAINER WITH NO LID…………………THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND WONDERFUL IDEAS.

      Hi, Karen! You can get citric acid at Wal-Mart year round in the canning section next to the mason jars. I leave mine in a container with a lid. I’ve never left them uncovered, so I’m not sure if they would lose strength or not.

    Love this idea! Made them today but think I need to spray more water initially to bind them as after two hours they crumbled coming out of the mold. Are they supposed to be so fragile? I used a mini muffin tin with muffin cups but they still crumble. Any suggestions, like adding more cornstarch?

    The Hometalk comments included one that said cornstarch will not dissolve and stays in the tank and can cause problems. Could be wrong or could be right. Don’t know but thought it was worth a mention.

(only worry is they would disolve super quickly & I want the smell for people after they do the more poody.thing) but will try these I thing I want to add some bleach/ will let you know how that turns out though. ARM & HAMMER Super Washing Soda (power agent like OXI-Clean) I found on the very bottom shelf with a Kroger store brand too. ($5.Off.If you go to there website&print)
    Had to add as I’m looking for a list of great bloggers for my highlighted list as awesome experts on homemade items. So tired of wasting money on things we can do ourselves!

    I am having trouble making these correctly. Maybe adding too much water. By the time I add enough water to get the material to hold together, when I put them in the mold – they start to expand, a lot – maybe double in size. I don’t mind that they’re not a great shape, but then they don’t fizz in the toilet. Can you give me some pointers?

    Hi,
    Thank you for sharing this what a great idea. I started making these and the first batch came out perfect. However, batch 2 and 3 came out of the mold all crumbs. I’m confused how I could have no problem with the first batch and bad luck going forward. Could you please help me I would like to make more to pass to friends and family. Could it be possible that the silicon mold only works once should I buy a different mold? I appreciate any help you can give I am so frustrated.
