Sometimes it seems that limescale and dried-on stains in the toilet stick more tenaciously than bad habits. We buy everything: foaming, acidic, bleaching and brightening preparations that promise miracles, but in the end they only leave an empty wallet and a chemical smell, which also makes bacteria pack their bags. Are you ready for a revolution in cleanliness? Meet “toilet tablets” – an effervescent, natural and homemade solution that is cheaper, more ecological and surprisingly effective.
No, it's not a bath bomb or a TikTok viral. This is a serious cleaning mixture that uses basic ingredients to remove stains, limescale and unpleasant odors from your toilet – no rubbing, no chemicals and no nervous selling out of dignity. And the best part? You almost certainly already have all the ingredients in your kitchen. Or at your neighbor's who likes to make jam.
Natural cleaner – effervescent toilet tablets
What do you need?
- 2 tablespoons baking soda (aka natron)
- 2 tablespoons washing soda
- 3 tablespoons citric acid powder
- a few drops of dishwashing detergent (nothing fancy – even the cheapest will do)
- a little hot water (not boiling – we are not in a tea ceremony)
These are ingredients that we use separately – baking soda to freshen up the fridge, citric acid for pickling, detergent for washing the mountains of dishes after Sunday soup. But together they form A cleansing cocktail that will restore your shell's dignityAnd that without ammonia, chlorine-free, plastic-free and guilt-free.
Preparation process: Home cleaning laboratory
How do we make effervescent toilet tablets?
- Mix in a bowl baking soda, washing soda, and citric acid.
- Add a few drops of detergent, just enough to lightly combine the mixture.
- Add hot water drop by dropuntil the mixture has the texture of wet sand.
- Press the dough into silicone models (if you're in the DIY phase) or use it fresh - directly into the shell.
- Wait a few minutes for the bomb to settle in the toilet. Then flush.
The result? A toilet free of stains, limescale, and strange odors. A freshness that even a home wellness center would envy – if it had a clean toilet bowl, of course.
Why it works: It's not magic, it's chemistry
Citric acid reacts with baking soda and creates an effervescent reaction that mechanically removes dirt and deposits. Baking soda acts as an natural abrasive and deodorant, and detergent dissolves grease and everything related to it (including prejudices against natural cleaners). Washing soda additionally softens the water and increases the effectiveness of the entire mixture.
Together they form ecological “clean team”, which leaves no trace – except for sparkling cleanliness.
