Is it possible to clean the toilet without bleach? If you're trying to reduce harsh chemicals and plastic at home, it's a question you've probably asked yourself.
The good news is, it's really easy. Toilet bombs are a gentle and natural alternative to clean your toilet bowl, below the waterline. Unlike bleach, they're made with just 4 ingredients - baking soda and citric acid, essential oils and water.
How to use toilet cleaning bombs
You can combine using toilet cleaner bombs with your other bathroom cleaning products. I recommend using a bathroom cleaning spray or cleaning paste on your toilet first. Then drop a toilet bomb into the bowl and leave it to dissolve.
A toilet bomb works by gently fizzing and releasing its ingredients. Bicarbonate of soda is a powerful deodoriser, while citric acid disinfects and removes limescale.
Our toilet bombs contain some of our favourite essential oils for cleaning - bergamot, tea tree and lemon. Combined, these naturally work against microbes, bacteria and viruses for a deep clean.
Once your toilet bomb has dissolved, wipe down the inside of your toilet bowl with a toilet brush. Finally, give it a flush to leave your toilet sparkling clean.
As with all natural cleaning methods, the rule for using toilet bombs is little and often. You can use one anytime from once a week to more often for a regular clean. You can keep toilet bombs in the bag, or in a mason jar for a more minimalist look. For best results, keep them dry.
About our toilet bombs
If you're new to toilet bombs, our mini packs of 9 are a good place to start. Or, to stock up for your bathroom, we have bulk packs of 36. They contain enough to keep your toilet clean for 9 months, assuming you clean once a week.
All our toilet bombs are handmade by April. They're vegan, plastic free and suitable for using with septic tanks. Both packs come in a recycled paper bag. We print using compostable inks.
