Toilet bowls are gross! Can I hear an amen? I really hate cleaning them! But it has to be done and I don’t want to use toxic cleaners! What is one to do? Use baking soda and vinegar of course!
Toilet Bowl Cleaner
1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup or more of vinegar
toilet brush
Directions: Sprinkle baking soda around the bottom of the toilet bowl and on the really dirty spots. Pour in vinegar and wait some seconds (like 30 or something) then
scrub with your toilet brush and flush! All done!
Like always easy as pie! Would I do anything more? 🙂

Hello Amy,
Thanks for sharing this green cleaning tip. Sometimes I use just sprinkle a bit of borax in our toilets then clean with brush. Wha La Done.

Thank you! At our house, I clean the “big bathroom” and my youngest son cleans the “water closet”. Even though I was buying the “green” toilet cleaner I thought there would be a better option but haven’t gotten around to trying any out. I will be doing this tonight for sure.
Thanks for sharing.
Amy @ A Blossoming Life says
Its good that you are using a green cleaner. I bet this option will save you lots of money!

Thanks so much for the tip. I get so tired of cleaning with harsh smelling chemical filled cleaners. I will definitely be doing this from now on.

If your toilet bowl is a bit more than dirty, you can pour in about 1/2 cup of baking soda and add 1 cup of HOT white vinegar (I haven’t tried it with apple cider vinegar, but I guess it must work just as well). It will foam for a while. Let sit for about half an hour and scrub. Removes stains really well.

OOO thats a good idea I will have to try that thank you!
