I absolutely hate store bought toilet bowl cleaner! Every time I used one, I could just smell the overwhelming smell of toxic fumes. It got to the point that using toilet bowl cleaner actually made me feel ill. I didn’t want to keep feeling nauseated in my own home for hours after cleaning! So that led me to looking for a natural solution that not only got my toilet cleaned, but also killed bacteria, viruses and parasites.
I have tested a bunch of different recipes and this is what I finally came up with that has worked for me. Adding grapefruit seed extract really adds the bacteria, virus and parasite killing power to this mix! The essential oils make it smell much better in the bathroom, without toxic, chemical filled fragrances.
