Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner

By TheresaJ

Some people like dirty toilet humor. Personally, I find nothing funny about cleaning the can. So I’m not going to kid around here — to get the job over with quickly it helps to have a brand name cleaner. But try this DIY recipe first to see if you can avoid flushing your hard-earned cash down the crapper.

Ingredients

• Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner Recipe:
• 1 . Swish 1/2 cup white vinegar around the toilet bowl. Let stand a few minutes, scrub, and flush.
• 2 . Wipe toilet with homemade all-purpose cleaner and a damp microfiber cloth.
• 3 . Got More Grime: To remove stains, add 1/2 cup Borax to toilet bowl water and let it soak overnight.

Preparation

Step 1

Cleaning Cost: You can buy a 76Oz box of Borax for under $15 and use it for a myriad of cleaning tasks including: boosting your laundry detergent, cleaning baby diapers, and as an all-purpose household cleaner. Buy a bottle of generic toilet bowl cleaner for around $3 and you get to clean your can. I’ll take the multi-use Borax and soak my laundry in it.
