Easy Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner: A Green Cleaning Solution for a Fresh and Spotless Bathroom

Here’s your invitation to stop fearing natural cleaning products!

Making your own cleaning products is not only simple and cost-effective but also a tradition passed down through generations.

They’re just as effective as harsh chemicals, minus the harm to you and the environment. This DIY toilet bowl cleaner has been my go-to for years, even with three boys in the house—trust me, it works!

Crafted with simple ingredients, including the potent antibacterial herb thyme, it gives you the deep clean you’re looking for.

And here’s a tip: to control the fizz, cap the bottle, give it a gentle shake, then unscrew the lid and pour slowly into the bowl. This prevents messy overflow and ensures your cleaner is ready to tackle the task.
