Natural toilet bowl cleaning!

I'm moving into the bathroom as far as some plastic free ideas. I wanted to start with toilet bowl cleaner.
Pictured here is what I've been using.

I purchased a glass spray bottle because I didn't have any spray bottles. There are many options on where to purchase these. Here are a couple.

In the spray bottle I just put some white vinegar! To minimize the vinegar smell, I put some drops of essential oils. The one I bought was a lemongrass scent from Whole Foods for 5 bucks.

In the lidded glass jar is baking soda! I poked some holes in the lid to be able to sprinkle the baking powder into the bowl. I bought the jar at Target for a couple of dollars.

What you do Flush your toilet. When the water starts filling the bowl again just spray the vinegar solution and sprinkle the baking soda into the bowl. Let it sit for a bit, maybe 5 minutes. Also just spray the vinegar solution around the seat and outside of the toilet. Use your toilet brush inside the bowl and just a cloth to wipe around the outside of the toilet. Voila!

If you need a new toilet brush, there are some nice wood options instead of plastic! Here is one I plan on buying soon. Maybe I'll treat myself for my birthday or Christmas!

Vinegar is a great natural cleaner. You can use it on a lot of different surfaces. Here is an article from today.com about 28 ways to use vinegar around the house.

As always, if you have some great ideas you've used to clean your toilets, please share!
