Here’s an easy DIY to eliminate bathroom/toilet odor. It’s also a great DIY non-toxic toilet cleaner. Lemongrass, bergamot and grapefruit essential odors kill the odor. The entire product is not only very efficient, it will save you a lot of money then buying a similar product in the store!
Materials:
– 1 1/3 cup Baking soda (deodorizes)
– 1/2 cup Citric acid (removes stains)
– 30 drops each of the following essential oils: Lemongrass, bergamot and grapefruit (this blend will kill any odor!!)
– 3 drops of blue or green natural food coloring (just for pretty aesthetic)
Directions:
– Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the food coloring and mix well. Place the oils in a small spray bottle with 1/2 tsp water.
– Spritz the mixture until it feels like slightly wet (not too wet) sand.
– Press into silicone cookie molds or ice cube trays. Allow the bombs to dry completely before pressing out of the molds. Store in a mason jar with a pretty label.
To Use: Toss a bomb into the toilet BEFORE YOU GO (particularly #2). This way there will be zero odor.

Great video, Sophie. A pity the show hosts were idiots, in particular, Mark!

hi Sophie great idea can’t wait to try it where do you get the citric acid

Does this replace scrubbing the toilet? I’m going to make some. I’ve seen some with washing soda to that would e more for personal use.
Where did you purchase your natural coloring products?
bi
Hen you have four children using the same bathroom, this is exactly what you need!

This is, hands down, my most favorite segment I have viewed.. I just rolled on the floor in laughter when it aired. You guys are a hoot! And….. the grandkids are making these as Christmas gifts for the parents this year! Thank you Sophie for all that you share. Hugs!
Sophie, I used your recipe and they were so sticky. it’s been a week and they stick to each other. What did I do wrong??
Wow, taking credit for something that’s been part of the DIY community for ages. Just shameless. More appropriate to say inspired by an amazing global community of DIYers… doesn’t take anything away from you.
Put in a “flavor” and the dog-drinker would have a sweet snack while drinking from the toilet!
wow i cant believe how mark was EXTREMELY rude during this entire video
Omg this video is cracking me up!
I made a comment to you about baking soda takes out odors so why use essential oils or any other scents? And since you publicly TRIED TO CORRECT ME WITH MY SPELLING YOU FIRST NEED TO READ THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RESPONDS. All of these recipes given with the use of baking soda to DESTROY ODORS, once again I’m asking why use ESSENTIAL OILS, Is it not a sent or a odor? YOU FEEL ME!!
Genius! Does everything you want and isn’t toxic to the environment!
Industrial strength.. lol.
Why
Where do you get the citric acid? thanks!
Are they safe for a septic?
Great video. Good DIY.. He acts a little immature ☺️
Baking soda destroys order so why do people put essential oils or any other sent in. Sales pitch for essential oils?
do we put it in the freezer?
Can you use vinegar instead of water?
