Yes, I know I should be blessed that we have indoor plumbing, yadda yadda yadda but I procrastinate cleaning our toilets to the point that it is VERY obvious they need cleaning.
Then, I reluctantly make my way to the cabinet to get my wowgreen toilet bowl cleaner (which by the way wowgreen has sadly fallen off of the face of the earth, I have grieved this and finally moved on, by the way). Spray it in the toilet, let it set and do the scrub thing with the poky brush thing. And I have a container of Seventh Generation wipes that I use to clean the outside of the toilet, seat, lid, etc.
By the way, I also have a "thing" that I have to scrub my toilets right before I get in the shower, because the idea of scrubbing a toilet and then preparing dinner just grosses me out. BIG TIME !! (sharing one of my many idiosyncrasies with you all)
So, a couple of days ago I went to the cabinet to get my wowgreen toilet cleaner and guess what?? The bottle is empty. Great planning on my part, right?
So, I think to myself....why can't I make a toilet bowl cleaner myself? There has to be a doTERRA oil that makes a rockin' toilet cleaner, right? The answer to that is a big, HUGE YES! :-) And it is sooooo easy.
So, here's the deal-e-o.....
Ingredients and supplies:
1 8 oz cobalt blue or amber glass spray bottle (I buy mine here)*
10 drops "do" OnGuard essential oil (buy from me :-) )
1 cup Distilled White Vinegar
1 cup Baking Soda
1/4 cup Morton Salt (the only place where I use this kind of salt...BUY sea salt that is not pure white to cook and eat with)
1. Mix the vinegar and OnGuard essential oil in a spray bottle, spray inside bowl. I used a kitchen funnel to do this.
2. Mix baking soda and salt together in a shaker container of some sort and sprinkle on vinegar mixture. I used one of my Bullet cups and the sprinkle top that came with it, it works perfectly.
3. Spray vinegar/OnGuard mixture inside toilet bowl, until you feel the inside is covered with the spray.
4. Then sprinkle some of the baking soda/salt mixture inside the toilet bowl on top of the vinegar/OnGuard spray. You will hear a fizzing/bubbling sound, it's kinda cool. :-)
5. Let stand for 10 minutes then scrub with poky brush and flush.
6. Repeat in other dirty toilets and store for future use.
All done!!

*You probably don't have to buy a glass bottle to scrub your toilets...yes the OnGuard will pull petrochemicals out of a plastic bottle, but since you are not drinking it, I think it would be ok. I just had an 8oz glass, so I used it.
Keep trying to live green,
