How to use Ultra Clean Toilet Tablets Bleach
Okay, so here’s the no-mess, no-grossness part.
- Open the toilet lid. Just do it.
- Grab your DIY tablet (or a super simple store tablet in a pinch) and toss it in the bowl. Plop!

- Way fewer chemicals. Your nose and your skin will thank you.

- Totally customizable—make them smell like lemon, tea tree, rain on the prairie…whatever floats your boat.
Oh, and it’s less plastic waste. Are you kidding? That single switch can help the planet (and your allergies).

How to make toilet cleaning fizzies with essential oil?
Not rocket surgery, promise. Even if you’re new to this, you’ve got it.
- You’ll need: baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, water, and your favorite essential oils.
- Dump dry stuff in a bowl, mix. Add a few drops of oil and just enough water—slowly—to get it clumping.
- Squish into ice cube trays or mini muffin tins. Let dry (overnight is best). Pop them out, store airtight.
I’m obsessed with eucalyptus and lavender, but if you’re feeling wild—try orange oil.
Helpful Tips When Making DIY Toilet Bowl Cleaner Tablets
A couple things I wish I’d known on day one…
- Don’t eyeball the water, people. If you Add too much? Mush. Too little? Crumbly rocks.
- Always mix in oil before liquid, or it doesn’t spread in the fizz.
- Store in a jar with a tight lid, especially if you live somewhere humid (hello, sticky summer!).

Do They Work?
Short answer—YES. Longer answer? Way more than I expected, honestly.
Dropping a fizzy in after a busy week, I came back to a much cleaner bowl. Sure, if your toilet looks like a lost cause, you might need a brush, but for regular clean-up? A couple tablets a week keeps the nasties away.
My mom even asked if I’d started hiring a cleaning service. Not kidding.
